what SHE ^^ said..

nice one Dave..


well.. it's Tuesday.. survived another Monday YAY..
and of course.. work YIPEE

so best get back to it.. hope everyone's day is SUPER!!

LUNCH is SERVED!!

UPDATE..


well.. my daughter and grandson have a lawyer, a mover, a designated Youth protection officer and peace of mind..

and even MY ex is pitching in it's amazing that no matter our differences.. our kids well-being STILL comes first

we got AWEsome news from the Youth Protection agency too earlier.. the 'father' can NOT take the child unLESS my daughter says OKAY.. and she has NO intention of letting him take the baby until SHE has her court judgement of FULL CUSTODY FIRST.. and grandma's making CERTAIN that she sticks to her guns AND follows through on all she needs to do right now to make SURE she protects herself and her son..

I believe we will BOTH be sleeping better tonight.. now.. if only my grandson would give us the night off.. we'd truly be in heaven


thanks again everyone for ALL your support.. I can't thank you ALL enough.. and (((John))).. you awesome friend you.. thank you for coming to my rescue!!

hey (((((((sis))))))

what?? no happy b-day?? don't feel bad.. Val forgot too

cool.. all is well thanks.. or as well as can be expected huh

sis.. you know what my kids can be like at times.. good news is.. puppy's doing MUCH better.. as am I.. I soooo didn't want to get outta bed this mornin.. not only cuz it was Monday mornin 'n back to work, but MAN did bed ever feel GOOD!!

I didn't get the basement done yesterday as I had hoped.. the kids came back and were packing and moving the rest of their stuff.. inCLUDing all the CATS downstairs.. I helped my youngest and stayed outta her bf's way for the most part.. they left me with MORE of a mess but although I'm peeved at that.. it's better than having to live with all the drama 'n BS..

speaking of kids.. how's yours doin??

true that!!
I even got the t-shirt to prove it!!

well.. another short chapter of life over.. *sighs*

I'll give ya the short version.. youngest and her hoard (7 cats, 2 dogs, 1-bf and his 2yr old) moved back 'home' 2 weeks ago.. they were living in a total **** hole and she's about to give birth any second.. anywho I helped them out and per usual.. got shat on.. you see, one of the conditions was they had to get rid of the animals.. my dog has an auto-immune disorder that's somewhat like the 'kid in the bubble' where other dogs are concerned and in their careless way(the kids) left the door open last week to 'their space' and the animals got to roaming around in MY space... 2 days later my dog started showing signs of illness so I took her to the vet to get her checked out(to the tune of $210)... yup.. she's weakening and may need another blood transfusion(cha-CHING)... my dog is my best friend and has been there for me when no one else has, to comfort and love(and she's a rescue)... anywho.. the kids are also trying to bully me into being their ATM with empty promises of some future repayment.. yeah.. I don't think so.. so yesterday I gave them a choice.. get rid of the zoo NOW(the house is starting to really reek of cat pee to the point it's gotten into my Hepa central air system.. another cha-CHING to get cleaned) or if they decide to go well.. no hard feelings.. today her bf gets all pissy 'n in my face that THEY HAVE RIGHTS TOO and I should get rid of MY dog.. yeah.. you got it.. I suggested they take the door.. and fast.. and they did..

I realize some may think I'm nuts choosing my dog over my daughters chaos.. the way I look at it is.. this is HER life to live HER way..and it's not a way I wish to live.. I've done my part already.. this is my home I've invested years into of time, labor and love and in 2 short weeks.. my life has been turned upside down.. to the point I got soo sick I had to miss 2 days of work (something I haven't done in almost 2 years!!)

this morning I spent a few hours cleaning up the mess they had left in the back yard so "they could make room for their stuff".. all my lawn furniture and other items were strewn wherever they'd left them outside(since last sunday) with a promise to "tidy up as soon as he had time" which doesn't seem possible considering he's always out doing something OTHER than the 'chores' he said he'd be responsible for.. and because they haven't picked up one piece of their dog crap from the backyard "pen" (the pool, deck, patio, BBQ and fire pit are all in that "pen") I can't step foot out there for fear of bringing something nasty back in to contaminate my dog(nor can she go out there now).. so I have to WAIT for them to come up with another solution for me and MY dog? meanwhile I have to take her out front on a leash to do her business? nah.. starting to feel more like they're taking OVER..

whatever.. it's done.. after I clean up and clear out all their crap(I'll have to wash down the deck, stairs and patio with disinfectant AND pick up 2 weeks worth of 2 dogs crap then hose down 2000 sq ft of lawn) I can finally get back to living and sleeping better.. (he's the type that needs to get up 5 times a night for a smoke and having been a single mom for many years, still seem to sleep with one eye open *sighs*) all in all.. I believe I'd made the right decision for ALL concerned..

so given the situation.. what would YOU have done?

awwwwwwwwwww (((((sis))))) stay positive.. and take it a step/day at a time.. you remember what they said about me NEVER walking again huh.. yeah.. like they were right HA.. and look at me NOW

*zee whips off her shoes and takes a running start from out the front door.. hits the newly polished floor and sliiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss up next to wego at the bar*
