An Experiment in the Absence of Sanity

It has been a long time

It has been a long time since I have posted. We survived our trip and spent the summer with family to which I do have the greatest off. I have missed a lot of birthdays, anniversarys and even graduations. To all I hope they were great. Tomorrow is Amanda's birthday hard to believe she will be 18. I am starting to feel as old as these kids are making me. Walter offically starts work today and his boss is going to see what it will take to get us out there. So it may not be as far out there as I was figuring. I don't know if I really want to go to Mo. but I know that is how it has to be. Matt and Crystal are loving college and I think that is great. Crystal is working and hopefully Matt will have a job soon. I have to Thank Carrie for putting up with them. But I will sleep better in Mo. knowing they are with someone and that she has someone there for her too. I have a lot of people to thank in my family. Cheryl, Asa, Jim and Lisa for the homes to stay at and all the other things they have done for us. But the dog is still mine. I will have to fight for custody I think. Jessica because no matter how much I bitched and complained she was there. ( And for grabbing my mail. What a pain that is) Plus being there for my snots at Carries and all the other things she does and has done. Cora for the number of jobs she didn't have to look for but took her time and found for us. Amanda for her company in the tent when things were looking glummy but her smile changed that. It has been bad times and even good times since Amsterdam and it seem like so long ago. I hope when my family makes there vacations plans I can find them in Mo. for a while. But though our travels there is nothing prettier than South Carolina at night and the red clay of Arizona. But traveling wouldn't of been any fun with out the family. It is what matters to me.
I also hope that the one or ones who have caused all the problems remember that I am getting sick of the remarks on Matt and Crystal. I was hoping by now that things have changed and children had grown up. Considering they didn't have the best of lives growning up either. Through the years there has been a lot people and families I have helped. Including the one I am talking about. The only thing you are doing is proving that your the one who needs the help. You have your great life I heard about how great it was. But not everything is working out so great for you now. I don't want to say you deserve everything you are getting. Because that sounds like something from your mouth. But maybe just maybe it is time you move on too and deal with your own problems and not my families. Instead of trying to make your Grandmother roll over in her grave it is time to grow up and make her rest at peace. Well that is enough about that because then I will have to get into the other person. With whom I thought the whole bunch of you would of realized by now it the lead to all of your problems. Nothing starts when no one talks to her. Ok enough
I have to get to storage get Matt's and Crystal's stuff out of there. I wish they were going with us. But I know it is time to let them grow too. Who knows maybe just maybe a wedding someday and grand snots. Walter is already a grandpappy. But it doesn't feel the same when your the wicked stepmom and step grandma. Expecially for a kid you have never seen. But he excepted me and my kids so I will do the same.
I am alittle upset the Jimmy is missing and no one knows where it is. It wouldn't of been so bad but it seem like crap just comes up missing. Whyatt has been sick and Cheyanne too. The normal COLD season. But they are starting to sound better. Seth is Seth. He keeps to himself unless he wants company. Sometimes I think it is not good for him but he is his own person too. Surprises you sometimes when he wants too. He has been a big help only had really one day of enough with not having a place to be. But I have dragged him to hell and back too. Tom hopefully will get on sometime soon and update his blog. Only because if he does I can read what he hates instead of having to hear his opnion. No really he has been a good tent buddy. Even though he likes am radio.
Well hope to update more often but who knows.
