Just Getting Up For The Let Down

Things have been pretty hectic here, lately. My mom has two kidney stones and a problem with her leg so last week she was feeling pretty crappy and wasn't able to do much at all. So it was kinda hard for me to get used to doing a lot more. I was in a bad mood for a while too, and just frustrated in general. Joshua doesn't like whats going on, and he's been acting up a lot so he doesn't help things. And Sarah and Timmy don't really help either. Then there was the period of time where whenever I asked Jacob to do something for me he'd say "Why can't you do it?" That leaves um. Just me!

Plus, my dad is in Vegas this week. This time he's staying at the Venetian, the hotel built around the Phantom of the Opera theatre. Where they perform Phantom of the Opera live, every night. Lol. Talk about jealous. ;) But yeah, he's not here in the evenings like he usually is so Josh still misbehaves a lot. He found out that ever since my dad and Jake oiled the sliding door, its really easy to open now. So Mr. Nature loves being outside when he isn't supposed to be out there and sometimes he'll just leave the door open. Which is bad for two reasons.

This week it was nice so I was trying to get outside a little more and play with rascal and work with him on NOT running away. Well at about 10 at night he broke his chain and was running around the neighborhood like a maniac.

Also in the past couple of weeks, our cat Cloey has just gotten really really sick. We took her to the vet and for $200 all they could tell us was she didn't have luekemia. We can't afford to get her checked out again so she's wasting away despite the fact she has food and water, and she's oozing mucus out of her eye and nose. And peeing on the floor. So during the day she has to live outside because I am NOT cleaning up more cat pee. And if Josh leaves the door open she can come in while the dog leaves... fun stuff.

So, yeah. The past two weeks or so have been pretty stressful. Sunday was really really bad. We skipped church but pastor came over Saturday and we had a mini service in our living room. And then we went to my grandparents house which honestly didn't turn out as well as I think they planned it. I was really REALLY stressed out on Sunday but I'm not as stressed out now. And tomorrow is my mom's surgery and my dad comes home Saturday morning so hopefully things can start getting back to normal now.

The thing is, I was getting the idea we were going to start working on moving again. Maybe I misunderstood or something but we were talking about painting and stuff and cleaning up the basement a little bit. And it seems like every time we get all excited and ready to work towards moving, something big happens. This time it was a couple big things: Josh was in the hospital, Cloey's vet bill, then my mom had to go to the hospital and she needs surgery... so it just pushes us farther and farther back you know? And that gets really frustrating.

But I'm done ranting now, honest. I had a good day yesterday - i got to go hang out at a friend's house and mess around with her for several hours so it was fun.
