I didn't realize how long it had been since my last post. I've been over on myspace for a while now. I went sans internet connection for a long while. We were having signal issues. I got onto myspace because my cousin, who was in the military, got an account to help keep us updated on his life. With more and more of my relatives and friends signing up, I just kind of stuck around there.
Things are kind of crazy right now. We've gotten back into going to mr grandma's every Sunday again. My eldest aunt developed ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) earlier this year and her condition has deteriorated at a frightening pace. She's already using walker/wheelchair, having serious speech problems and having trouble swallowing. It scares the hell out of me. She's also been very unwilling to discuss stuff like feeding tubes and ventilation. She outright refused any therapy from the first, which, I believe, has much to do with how quickly she's worsened. My cousin Veronica, who is only 24 years old, recently found out that she has an enlarged heart that is causing arrhythmia(sp?). She found this out when she went to the emergency room with a mild heart attack. The dr tells her she needs to cut out stress and that she may need to be put on the list to find a heart donor. The same week this happens she find out that her husband of 3 years is cheating on her with a "good friend" of hers. She's so determined to put her health first and handle this whole separation/divorce thing as serenely as possible. It makes me sooooo angry that someone would hurt her like that. She's one of those people that seem so happy that it makes you sick, but she's so nice and cool that you just can't hate her for it. She is the most sincerely sweet person I know with a friendly smile for everyone and a laugh just waiting to for an opportunity to pop out. The fact that some sad excuse for a male would make her cry just makes me want to commit a violent act.
My husband had a falling out with his eldest sister. He gave her a laptop for his niece to use when she started uni. His niece sent him $100 when she got it from her mom. Her mom later read her diary and found out she'd tried drinking, smoking, and was sexually active. She's 17. They got into this wicked fight and she left home and went to stay with her father, parents are divorced. While her mother was at work, she came home and took all her clothes and such, laptop included. Her mother, my husband's sister, called the police and accused her of stealing the laptop. The cops went and picked her up, but they just made her give back the laptop and then let her go. My husband heard this from his youngest sister, even though his mom had forbid anyone from calling to tell my husband, lest he drive down there and possibly kill his sister's current husband. No one has any doubt that calling the police was his idea. My husband called his sister and had words with both her and her husband. End result, we got the laptop back, his niece is living with her father until she goes to uni, my husband doesn't want to go visit his family for fear that the asshole brother-in-law will say something that will necessitate beating him to a pulp, possibly going to jail, and causing a greater rift in his family.
Otherwise ... my marriages goes well, we just had our 8 year anniversary, and the kids are happy and healthy. Lucas is moving on to 2nd grade and Jared will be starting Kinder this coming school year. My husband got a promotion to a managerial position.
