A week off....

Sort of.

A week off from school for Eddie and I. I welcome any sort of break though.

My Mommy, not doing well at all. It is so sad. She's starting to not listen to my Dad. He is struggling with the idea of outside help. Just so sad. She's having accidents and it is so hard on my Dad.

Anyway...

I have guilt because I can't go up whenever I'd like to. Our school has break at the oddest times and oposite times as Z's school. And then there's the cost of going up north. Gas just keeps climbing too.

Ken's checks are taking a nose dive again! :( They want to pay his overtime once a year in a bonus check. That bonus check will come next March. A year from now. And they are cutting him down to two paydays a month, with pay for 10 days on each (2 40 hour work weeks). This is going to hurt us.

This is all just great as we have decided we can not stay with my parents any more. Mom doesn't remember that we are staying there and it startles her when we appear in the morning. Mom also did not know Ken, Eddie or Zachary when we were there. Not to mention she went through our things several times when we stayed there for Thanksgiving.

Life keeps throwing curve balls, we are trying to hit them back. It's not always so easy.

I'm so tired.
