Life Now And Then: Friends and Family

Everything is so quiet today.

I feel like I should be in a commercial for a Bose noise blocker.

Really though, since I'm still lounging around in my robe and rubber boots I feel like some loony old woman ditched in a home after the family left. You know, like it was all good and fun when everyone was here but now I just sit and look out the window and wait for them to come back...

Lucky for me 3:15 rolls around pretty quick ❤

Ummm... Ok, so listen to THIS!

6 and I were in town last Thursday and my phone rings while we're in the paint section at Bi-Mart. It was Wyatt and from the sound of his voice I thought a goat had chewed his leg off. He was so hysterical I couldn't make out a word he said except for... Are you ready for this? Are you sure? Maybe you should sit down....

He said.... "Wendy is here she's moving in!"

I almost threw up right there in the rattle can aisle.

I told him I had to finish my shopping, but what I really meant was I needed to peel myself from the floor and make a trip to the ladies room.

All kinds of things were running through my mind. What had happened? Why was she home? She hadn't called to say she was coming or needed help packing. Other than Wyatt melting down things sounded pretty steady at the house, there wasn't any crying and it didn't sound like Jesse Ass Face Butt Hole Boyfriend was there causing a commotion.

What was up?

OMG, was she pregnant?

I was scared to go home.

6 and I walked around Bi-Mart for awhile and then decided we needed to go face things head on.

Shit, I left the hose on, BRB...

Ok, where was I?

Oh... So we got home and there was Wen sitting on the porch laughing with some lady and Wyatt stuck to her side. The lady stood up and walked over to me and gave me a hug and said, "I brought your girl home." I thanked her, but wasn't to sure if I was really thankful or not. Remember, it's been a pretty f'ed up two years and our last meeting really sucked.

Wendy was really calm and told me she had "just had enough".

Really?

Just had enough?

Shit, I "just had enough" about a year and ten months ago.

My apologies go out to all of you who were with me during the Jack years. I imagine you're pulling your hair out and writhing on the floor as I recant this story, but now I understand that karma is a bitch and I guess I had this coming.

Wendy now lives upstairs with her brother stuck to her backside. She is doing really well in school and I think she is heading down a really good path that I hope will lead her to wonderful places amen.

Trina and Chrissi and the kids arrived on Friday, and we had SO much fun!

The kids loved the animals ❤
