Updates on My Crazy Life

  • Well, all my family members are out of jail! For the moment anyway!
  • Yesterday, I finished up my refresher course for National Registry, so I can renew my Paramedic certification.
So two major hurdles are out of the way! YEAH! Until the "next" time. You never really know what it is going to happen around here anymore! I am learning to take one day at a time, and some days go by without a hitch, then....BAM! It all hits us at once! I know the Lord won't give us more than we can handle. Praise God I have a loving husband at my side. (He may regret marrying into my crazy family.) We still have so much to be thankful for. We are blessed beyond measure!

New news on the oldest step-daughter. She has decided to move to Dallas and live with her biological father (sperm donor) and his family. They just met each other in August '07. We have only "heard through the grapevine" that she is moving, she has not called her dad yet to break the news. Maybe it is for the best, I don't think his wife and her will continue to get along so well when they have to spend every waking hour together. She appears to be very controlling and I don't think the daughter will stand for it. There are still many issues she needs to come talk to us about. I hope she will swallow her pride soon and make things right with her dad and I. He has been the only father she has ever known. She at least owes us some explanations. That's not too much to ask, right? There are lots of hurt feelings on both sides.

For different reasons, I feel the same way some days, that if one more thing goes wrong, well, I pretty much expect it by now! Which doesn't mean it isn't still stressful.

I read some of your older posts and absolutely agree you did the right thing with your brother. Tough love is toughest for the person who has to do it. I had to do it with a friend of mine (long story) but there are times that helping someone just helps them continue on a bad path. It is good you were strong enough to stick to your decision.
