guess who's back...
well, austin lost his job at the beginning of february. no surprise there. we had several major things that needed to be done at the house that we couldn't afford. the electricity got cut off. we still had water. we stayed at the house for a few days. it got really hot and i could not sleep at night. we went to our friend, Rebecca's, house and stayed a couple of nights. the couch bed was so uncomfortable that i drove home and slept in the heat. Rebecca had a female dog that just had puppies about 3 weeks ago. she was not trying to house train them at all and just let them run about their house. she has a 6 month old baby that she would put on a blanket on the floor. the puppies would go over by the baby and piss and shit. there were dirty diapers EVERYWHERE. i couldn't take it and started cleaning. they have a pitbull outside on the porch on a chain. it was without water for 2 days and wouldn't eat because it was so thirsty. i told Rebecca about it and she said she would have her son give him water when he got home from school. well, when the son came home from school, she did not say anything to him about it. i asked him to please give the dog some water. the poor dog was so thirsty that he drank all of the water that they gave him. he started throwing up pure water. i gave him some more water. the poor dog never gets attention. the last pitbull they had on their porch died from the heat because they would never water it. anyway, the puppies were leaving piss and shit piles everywhere and they would just walk through on the carpet barefoot. Rebecca sat and played on her computer or watched Hulu all day and ignored the baby. the one time she did feed her when we were there, she gave the baby 1/2 a jar of sweet potatoes and one bottle of milk all day. the next day, i made the baby bottles and made her some mildly runny oatmeal baby cereal and added the sweet potatoes to that. the baby ate everything i made her. i got tired of cleaning, babysitting and puppy care, so i told austin that i would rather sit in the heat. we went home and a bad storm came up. it was a friday. we asked mom and dad if we could come out and watch the finale of the Amazing Race with them. we went back to our house and austin asked me if i would call my parents and ask them if we could stay with them a couple of days. we have been here since that Friday. dad has lots of stuff that he can't get mom to do on the computer for him. he has written one book and just completed another. i formatted it and got it all pretty for him. he wanted it printed on the front and back. Mom didn't know how to do that. we have been helping him maintain his lawn. either austin or i or both cook everyday for them. dad told me that he thinks God knew he needed us out here. this morning I got up at 5:45 and made breakfast for my dad. he broke his back again, last year. he went to Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg to have surgery. they gave him an infection on his spine that got into the bone. he has a weaken immune system now because of all the medication they had him on to kill the infection. three other people received infections after surgery there also. dad wanted to get a lawyer and sue for medical malpractice, but the lawyers all told him that it is nearly impossible to sue for malpractice in Mississippi. i wonder if he could file a civil suit against them?
anyway that is my world right now...
