Parades, Fires, Drama, Oh My!
11 years ago
So I know that I have things that I owe people, and they are ready to be uploaded for the owners approval and then off to be colored. With it being December it has been hectic around here and everything. First was the Christmas parade I took my son to last weekend. And that was an awesome day! Got a few Christmas presents there for family. Ate carnival food, walked around a lot, even got a blister on the bottom of my foot from all the walking around so much. But my one year old loved it. All the lights, the sounds, the toys...lol. He was such a good boy that day. He was so tired when we got home he went straight to bed without a bottle that night. And he would of slept all night except for the fire that we had. After putting him to bed, I hung out with my mother in law watching National Lampoons Christmas Adventure movie and while we were sitting there enjoying the movie and some hot chocolate I smelled smoke. So I asked her if she smelled it too. Since she did we both went out side to see if someone was burning their trash (out in the middle of nowhere, where we live, its cheaper than taking it to the dump). Well that was not the case. Our house was on fire instead. Thankfully it wasn't a big fire, it did not have enough time to get too big yet, so after freaking out and waking up my husband and son and father in law, we put the fire out. Upon further exploration of where the fire was and going underneath the house to see how much damage there was, which thankfully there was not a whole lot of damage except for the outside wall. Which is good, because that means that all I have to replace is the boards and some of the insulation and tar paper or whatever that is they put on the outside of the house. But we could not come up with any explanation as to why the fire started. There were no pinched wires or any wires for that matter where the fire started. In the center of the what is now charcoal instead of wood boards, is a hole. Like someone drilled a hole into the side of my house and started the fire. Which is weird because there is no fire damage underneath the house and on the cement blocks underneath the house. All the damage is around this little hole. So we have one of two theories:
A. A meteorite hit the house because we had a huge meteor shower that night, or
B. The same family that beat the crap out of my father in law a few months back started the fire because there are multiple lawsuits against them with most of them being from my father in law.
Both of them are just as likely as they are unlikely. We just don't know. It was a freak accident and scary at the same time.
Then before going grocery shopping yesterday I found out my brother in law was coming home for Christmas. Which is great...kinda. There is an outstanding feud that him and my husband had because they are both stubborn, headstrong and think that they are right and refuse to admit that they might be wrong. Lets just say the last time they were under the same roof, it took three people to separate them before they bashed each others skulls in over A BAG OF BURNABLE TRASH that we did not have a chance to burn yet because of the weather. It would not of been a problem, but neither one of them know when to be the bigger man and shut their mouth. But oh well. If they start another fight on Christmas or anywhere near Christmas day you can bet I will call the cops this time. There will be no fighting like that around my son. Thankfully last time my child was in his room and watching his baby channel. Needless to say this is about to be a very long Christmas week and I hope that they can put all hating aside just for one week and be civil to each other for my sons sake. There is no reason that he needs to see his father and uncle fight in such a way.
But that is enough ranting for one day. Now that it is off my chest I feel so much better and maybe the want to draw will come back. Ever since my finals, I just have not felt the need to draw anything at all. No inspiration what so ever. None, at all. Not even music or shows are any inspiration. I have been reading lots of paranormal romances in hopes that inspiration hits, but so far no luck. Oh well.
Anyways, I hope that everyone will have an awesome Christmas and that they get all if not most of what they wanted for Christmas. I love you all!
Love,
