I have been taking some time to relax and keep to myself the past week or so. I had been so busy running back and forth when Brandon was in the hospital, that I needed to unwind. I got my taxes done, I put an insurance claim in for my car. Remember when I drove it into a ditch a few weeks ago? I got $3600 from my insurance company!! I have never had collision, so have never put a claim in before. I paid myself back for the new clutch, and pout the rest in the bank. I don't need to have the body fixed. It's really only a dented fender, and it's a 2004, so I am just fine with it as is!
Jessie is mad at me because I haven't been coming around to help out since Brandon came home. I hate when she is mad at me, but I really don't need to be there. Steve is home, the girls are in school, and she is there for Brandon. I think she is really doing him a lot of harm actually, by enabling him. She babies him, spends all night awake with him, for his "pain," which nobody believes is real anymore. He hasn't been in school consistently since January. He has the whole family captive with all of this. I do think he had something wrong, but he had the appendectomy, which seems to have helped his stomach pain. His rash.....who knows? He hasn't had it in a few weeks. Jessie is exhaused, and her thinking is not clear. Her MS plus her exhaustion are clouding her brain. She is being nasty and short with everyone. Steve is keeping to himself, doing physical things around the house, and sleeping with Brandon from time to time, but Brandon wants his mother. It sounds terrible, but I just do not feel bad for the 3 of them. They are creating a crisis! I do feel sorry for the girls! They slept over Thursday, and I will have them over again.
They may expect me to help him with his school work that he has missed, but he does not do his work with me. I'm going to have to mention this somehow to them, to set them straight. It would just be a waste of time for me to even try.
I have tried many times before!
On the up side, I am getting a new puppy!!! One of Jessie's Japanes Chins had a litter, and I am taking the female. Her name is Sophie, and she is just so cute! She is a tiny one. There were 6 puppies, and the mommy is a small dog, so there are 2 runts, Sophie being one of them. I am hoping Max and Annie take to her. I think Annie will be jealous, but am hoping she loves having another dog to love. She sure loves Max.
Max really is limping, so he has to go to the vet Tuesday. He hurt his leg a few weeks ago, and must have reinjured it. Poor litttle guy!
Here are some pix of Sophie:
