Ch-Ch-Changes ( maybe)...
Changes since the last up date...
First, DD and the children moved out! Moved out of town, in fact! It's so wonderful!! The house is so quiet!! I love it! I have my office back, although it is still a work in progress. Still pictures to put on the wall, and some things still need organizing.
Finances are starting to clear up. Still dealing with the cell phone bill. I got the big one paid off (with no help from my DD) just before they cancelled my entire service. Now this month the bill is about 2-3 times what it should be. So I am going to go over it with a fine tooth comb and see what they are doing before I pay it. I just want to make sure I owe what I really owe and they are not trying to get more money than they should be.
Utilities are back in line where they should be. Big help there!!
And now, the biggest change, possibly. Griffen has expressed interest in living with his dad. It's something we have talked about for some time, but I wanted it to be what Griffen wanted. Today he wanted to talk about it again, and see how we felt about it. I told him he is old enough now to make decisions like this, and we had no concerns against it. At the time we got guardianship of Griffen, his father was not in a position to care for him, but he now has a good job, a very nice home, and is married to a lovely woman who likes Griffen a lot Griffen wants to get to know his other side of the family, and feels it is time to do so. I would miss the guy something awful, but I would do whatever is best for him, and I do believe living with his father would be the best thing for him.
He also does not like the local school system, or the teachers, and thinks a different school might be a better fit. Now, THAT I don't know, but it's possible. He is basically failing this year and I know his father would do whatever he could to see that Griffen get tutoring, or whatever else he might need to help him, where in our tiny town, we just don't have it.
And, because of my health issues and our age, hubby and I need to focus on ourselves. It's time to stop taking care of everyone else and take care of us. We don't have that much time left.
I'll let you know what happens.
