Uhm.... Yeah.
Some of you might know that I moved home in October of 2005 to take care of my grandfather, and that he died on July 27 of last year. Since then, we've been slowly getting the house ready to be put on the market.
Often, the place has been a construction zone, as features were added or taken away, kitchen redone, bathroom redone, doors replaced. It's something we put up with, because we didn't pay rent ... or rather, we didn't pay monetary rent. I have been the caretaker of his house since his death, cleaning and making sure that no one broke in and walked away with his stuff.
To be absolutely fair, my mother has been killing herself to get all this done too.
Except for: We have to do exactly what she says, when she tells us to, or have the threat hanging over our heads of ending up homeless with two kids.
That ended today.
She and I got into an argument over my youngest child and I, in effect, chose my husband and family over her.
She, in turn, 'washed her hands of me'.
So ... I guess I'm motherless now.
What this means:
I may be internetless for the summer, depending on how we sort out living arrangements. If this happens, I will be keeping only two pups active, and tagging from the library every other day or so.
peacefulspring and lost_a_hand will be those two pups, in case anyone has any questions.
And ... I'm really sorry in advance in cast the worst scenario does play out.
