Trying To Catch Up With All Of You!

Tweet

Gosh! What a summer I've had! It's been a summer from hell! BUT... I've made it this far and I think I'll make it the rest of the way. As most of you know, my parents are moving. Their "old" house is four hours north of their new one. So with all the painting, cleaning and carpet stretching to be done with their new house and then the packing and cleaning of their old house, my dad and his health - in and out of the hospital three times in two weeks time, taking him to get set up with his new doctor (2 hours drive west of here) so he could be transfered closer to his new home, and mom losing her beloved cat due to the move and we've been looking for her to no avail and posting signs and going door to door giving out flyers, mom and the bank having troubles with a couple of checks that never made it to their destination thanks to the postal service and a bank draft made twice on her account which messed up her account really bad that she can't balance it, it's been one stressful summer to say the least. I'M EXHAUSTED! LOL and it's not over yet! Today they'll officially be out of their old house and my nephew and his fiance will take it over and hopefully they'll buy it within the year once they get their credit straightened out. So mom and dad can finally enjoy their new home once and for all! I'm so tired of the drive four hours up and back up and back over and over again not to mention all of the work hubby and I have done to their new house and having all to do at their old house, WHEW! I can't wait to say it's done and over with and BEHIND US!! LOL It could've been much easier than it was but mom and dad both had to make things a bit harder for themselves which in turn made it harder on us. We had no choice but to take it all in stride and wait for all hell to break loose and eventually it did in which they asked for our help once again and we came to their rescue. I love my parents to death but wish they would listen once in a while for we could've made things much easier for them but nooooo. Is that they way all parents are? I do wonder. Now I've got to tell you though, mom and I haven't been on the best of terms however as of late, with all of the help we've been giving them, she's been really really nice to me in which one time she called me her angel! Angel, you say? Yes! She called me her angel!! You could've knocked me over with a feather!! A month or so ago she was yelling at me like I was so low down dirty dog and now she's calling me an angel? Ok, my guard is up and I'm waiting for all hell to break loose! Seriously though, I love her to no end but I don't trust her completely because she can be down right hateful and mean to me. Still all in all, I love her and will help her as long as she's civil to me. I don't ask to be kissed on the rear but to be respected and maybe even loved. But for her to call me an angel is just over the top and I've my guard up for the fire that is sure to come especially when all is said and done with this move. Now the real point of this discussion is to update you my friends on the going ons in my life and why I'm so far behind in your discussions. I've got 27 still in my mylot folder to respond to and will get to them one at a time. If I'm days or weeks later than the others, this is the reason.... I've been sooo darned busy! I have been able to answer a few here and there but I'm so far behind now thanks to having to go up north once again for a few days to help them out but I will catch up little by little along with getting some badly needed rest too. That won't happen til some time in the next few days for they're coming down with yet another truck load as well as two more car loads to unload when they get here. Well just thought I'd give you a hands up on my busy life... and I don't even have a job! LOL
