Long days

This morning we lift the house like we normally do and headed to church. We had dad today, and finally just got home about 10 minutes ago. Dad enjoys church with us and I am glad it bugs my sister in law. He feels welcome and accepted and people come up and talk to him. They treat him like he belongs there. This is great.
We stayed until about 3pm and then went south to get dad vehicle, and stuff from where he was staying. We decided it was best to take the dog immediately out of where she was staying. Not that we do not trust she would be safe, but we had some concerns.
Dad van has some issues and I am hoping I can get it safely over to my mechanic place, because I have to keep my foot on the gas and break and the car just don’t wanna stay stop with the foot on both. If I dont keep my foot on the gas it dies, not fun at all. I think I would have rather been on a treadmills then parking his van because it kept dieing anytime I lifted my foot off the gas. After we got it home we had to run out to a town East of here a good ways for dad dog we found someone who is fostering the dog for us.
I was about to scream at my hubby because I thought he was going to let the dog in the car to long, and I wasn’t going to have that no way no how! I don’t care if they want to kick me out of here for doing the right thing by dads dog. We got her over to the foster home. The lady was very nice, but was about to need to live to get her daughter. I think our little dog for dad will be better off there Praise the L-rd we don’t have to worry about her now so much plus dads allowed to see the dog when he wants she lives about 25 miles away so this makes it easier on us.

Opinion: Branson

You know I could really use a vacation. Everything that has been going on has me feeling a little stressed as to how will I accomplish everything. Since dad moved in a lot of things have change, now I am not just cleaning up after my husband but also his dad and taking care of other basic needs dad has.
So I know soon I will really be needing a vacation. In the past I have talked about Bransonas a possible vacation spot. They have family options and couple options. I would look at a couple of options, to get me and hubby gone for a couple days would be great. If we wanted we could go with the Gold Package which is only 455$ it would come with 3 days and 2 nights stay and then it would have a pierce Arrow and Mickey Gilley adult tickets for hubby and I to enjoy.
If that package wouldn’t work we could look at the Platinum Package for 457$ which is 3 days and 2 nights Grand Oaks with 2 adult tickets to Grand Jubilee, and a gift certificate to either Red Lobster or Olive Garden, and coupon book with a 50$ Tanger outlet shopping certificate. Who could ask for more.
There are a couple of Attractions I am interested in one is The Titanic Museum, this could be a fun little experience to look at it, and learn more about it. Then there is the Cave and Caverns which sound fun to me I have always been interested in caves.
Maybe Branson will be a great place for a long needed vacation been needing one for years.

Roaches coming out of every where

Not talking about the bugs more talking about the people. You know how one person can make your dad not seem good even though you had a great day! Yep, those are the type of roaches I am talking about, the type that come out when things are bad, and hard to take advantage of you when your already down. I am furious right now. I am trying not to let people make me mad but it’s hard not to let this tick me off.
I have been married to my hubby for a little over 2 years. Yes, me and hubby have had our troubles and ups and down. But we are a strong couple. Dad has moved in recently, and since he been living there we have found out someone open some services in his name. I spent a good portion of the day on the phone with that company, by the end of the night that company decided to write dad a check because they felt it was the right thing to do to refund dad money because they took it out of his account. I will say I am very happy they did this. I will not mention the companies name in this post might put them in my other site, haven’t decided.
This company got in contact with the person, who put services in dad name, with out giving him permission to change anything in the service. I had told them I want the services disconnected, they said they would do it if I could come up with the address. I wasn’t able to come up with that. Later at night I got a call from that company, telling me they have decided to give dad a refund. I was happy as a claim. They decided the person who took dad info didn’t have permission and felt it was right to give it back to dad. This was good, I am happy about this.
Well the person called here to yell at dad because of calling the cops. Dad wasn’t the one to call the cops it was I. I am the one that said it was wrong, and they don’t want to do the right thing. What I like to know how did his Id card and Social Security card and then a couple days later they give it back to him telling him it’s was in the coach. Okay, well I know dad wallet it’s not one that loses stuff easily. So I know they took the stuff from him when he was sleeping.
Now I went and changed dad bank account last month, and they where mad about that. Here’s what I do not understand the girl said she didn’t owe dad any more but she would make payments. When she said she would make payments and pay dad back, I was like well if that’s the case we are keeping the money even if the charge to his account wasn’t you. Why would I give you the money if you owe dad money. Than she said she didn’t owe dad any money and accused him of trying to get down her pants. Okay I know dad wouldn’t do this, he’s 86. Plus I just know he wouldn’t go there!
Dad asked me some question which makes me think he is innocent. I told dad not to worry about the accused because they are false and won’t hold up for nothing.
I can’t believe she called here after this service place told her that they where sending the deposit to dad, and asked for the money back, it’s not enough that she went to the casino with him and had him over bounce his account by a ridiculous amount! She going to call her and asked for money she doesn’t get because that company found her to be stealing and decided the money should be refunding to the main person on the account dad. So I told her to send it where dad is living now. It’s amazing that after mom dad all these people are coming out of the woodwork to take advantage of dad! It’s sad and up-sitting and disappointing. I know calling people roaches probably ain’t very nice but you know I don’t wanna be nice.
It’s amazing how quickly my sister in-law changes her personality to I wonder if she is has multi personality disorder or something. This morning she was one way, tonight she was mad that we took action against this person. Well see if she even gets gift cardfor Christmas and no I do not celebrate Christmas. I can’t believe she would lie about dad or believe someone who says ill things.
It’s amazing how girls cry rape or molestation when they do not get their way! People who lie about that should have to serve time in jail just like a rapist. Especially if they feel lying is okay!

Call me when you get to work

Yesterday I got a call to work a one day job. It was preparing stuff. Okay no big deal and well I am going to need gas money and this would give it. I have a interview tomorrow so if I get this job I am going to need the money in my bank account to fill up on gas. Hopefully my van gas will last at least a week, if not I am going to be in trouble.
Last night dad was saying your not going in tomorrow, I said yes I am, I need to work. So this morning he got up bright and early and told me to call him when I got to work. Okay what good does a cell phone do if you don’t keep it near enough to you to answer it. So I get to work, and call him to times. Then my hubby texts me, Dad’s not answering his phone. Okay well there nothing I can do I am trying to work here, I kindof realize today that anything more than part time will not be good.
Today I spent the day, getting shipping boxes ready to be sent out. It a simple job but my feet hurt now. When I lift I went to call dad to let him know I was on my way home. No answer again. Okay, no big deal I be home shortly enough.
So I head home, and get home he had his phone in the living room and he’s in the dining room but can’t hear it. Okay that’s a problem, so I turned it up on 7 and found a sound he could hear in his phone.
Tomorrow I will go for my interview probably at about 9am and be there by 10am as long as the roads aren’t bad I should arrive early.

We must forget how to drive

In Minnesota it is winter, we had our first real snow. It is staying around for a while now. Today dad was outside having his smoke, because I don’t let anyone smoke in my apartment. I am highly allergic to smoke, so for health reason dad needs to smoke outside. Maybe he will stop smoking because it will get to cold to smoke outside.

I am wondering if it is forgetting to drive in the winter or simply just being careless drives. Yesterday dad and I had to make a emergency run to the store, it wasn’t a thing where we could have waited to go. I was driving in the parking lot going maybe 8 miles a hr. Which is slow enough here, this truck came blazing through almost hitting the front of the van, I slammed on the break and prevented anything from happening, didn’t even both turning on his signal when there are 2 ways he could have went. Then on the way out of the driveway, to the street a car decided to make that turn a little to fast and took up way more then their share of road. I noticed them turn and was able to react in time. This is why I am cautious because if I am not I will be sorry.

Today dad was out on the balcony, and this dumb driver was driving clearly to fast for snow and icy condition. He hit his break and went spinning around. Luckly the person didn’t hit anything, like someone park car, I know I would have been livid if they hit my van.  Dad came in and told me what had happened, my first question was did he hit anything. Dad said no I was happy.

Remember people who live in the Midwest where we get plenty of snow and ice during the winter, slow down, take your time. Do not worry about getting some where fast because it probably not going to happen. Keep a blanket and survival kit in the car just in case you break down on the side of the road. Leave earlier than you normally do to get to work on time if it has snowed over night because the roads may not have been plowed. Speaking of Plows remember they may not see you so if you must pass them do it carefully.

If you have to stop remember slaming on the breaks in the winter can cause you to lose control of your car. So lets remember our good driving skills the ones we should have learned every other winter that we have driven. If you do not know how to drive in the Snow and Ice stay off the roads, don’t become someone else headache. Remember don’t get distracted by your cell phone or texting your friends they can wait until your safely to where ever you are going.
