wah! Mom's back from vacation!
14 years ago
For those who don't know, my mother in law lives with us. She's not an easy person to live with, and sometimes is VERY trying. Well, we were going to get a break from her, and her 2 little spoiled yappy dogs who NEVER get any discipline, and NEVER SHUT UP!. I love animals, but she lets them do things that are really annoying, and not necessary. She thinks that if she makes them behave, then they won't love her anymore. Stupid woman. I make them behave, they look to me as the Alpha, and they love to see me. In fact, they act so nuts when I give them attention, you'd think she'd realize that they need to have discipline in their lives, just like children do.
Anyway, she was supposed to be going on a road trip in her RV, with three other people. They were paying for the entire trip, and she was supplying the RV in which they wanted to travel - It's a REALLY nice RV - we were also happy, because that meant she and the annoying dogs would be gone, and we would have a normal household for at least a month - or so we thought, since that's what she told us. She even gave me her rent check for September, as she wasn't going to be here. So, after the couple flew in from Maine, and they were all together, the 2 men wanted to stop in Commerce, at some casino, to gamble. It was supposed to be part of the trip, but a minor part. Needless to say, the 2 men lost ALL the money they had for the trip, over $4,000 in 2 days. So then, they wound up down in Oceanside, where there is a campground on the beach, which is free if you are disabled. Since one man was, they stayed there. They were there for about a week, then with no warning, Mom comes home on Wednesday. The couple from Maine flew home early - the wife was pissed, needless to say - and Mom brought the other person here, from which he left the next day for Texas, where he supposedly has a job for 1-2 years. I know better, since he's the one whose disabled. He basically bounces from place to place, living with friends. Anyway, now we have her home again, and she's not being very pleasant, as her long anticipated vacation didn't work out. It wasn't our fault, but we get to deal with the crap from it. Nice, huh? So, now I'm back to spending my days in my bedroom, which is the only place I can get away from her. I wish I could find her a place to live, but since she owns the place we live in, we can't very well throw her out. She bought this mobile home for us 10 years ago, when we were having money problems, and then I became unable to work. She was going to put the place in our name, until we found out that if she did, our space rent would almost double. Something about a grandfather clause, that we barely made it into when she bought this place. Anyway, she had to move in with us in 2008, when one of her dogs bit a lady where she was living, and she was given a 3 day notice - get rid of the dog, or move out. The poor woman had to get 17 stitches from the bite. That's NOT a nip, as she first told us. She tried to make it the other woman's fault, but since she was bitten in the back of the thigh, that was clearly not the case. Turns out the woman was just walking by, carrying her little dog in her arms, because it didn't like Mom's dogs. Go figure. I never thought I'd say this, but I so look forward to my next appointment with my doctor, because it will get me out of the house and away from them for a little while! How sad is that?
OK, enough ranting for now
