Just Pass Me By

Yet another day missed work, at least my supervisor understands. I had the weekend from **** this week. I am still tired, and it doesn’t help that a bill collected called and work me up well before they should be calling people, and the sad thing is they where from my state so they aught to know better. I’m already ready for the weekend. Dad has been living up here since Thanksgiving and we decided we had to leave dad house go. Hubby and I can’t afford it and and dad living up here there is no need for his house. At first we tired to rent it but that fall through.
For a long time hubby and I let dad live here for nothing at all, we refused to let him help. We brought it up to his mental health person who told us one of use would have to be at home more. I told her I already cut back hours at work and we can’t afford to have me cut down any more hours at work. I handle Utilities and grocery and the cost of dad moving in increased our grocery bill at least by half, because he’d refused to eat leftover. We didn’t want to take his money under no circumstances because so many people took advantage of him. Funny thing is money causes more arguments because I don’t want to take it from him.
That week we came up with the agreement dad would pay for the loss hours at work, and help cover utitities and grocery, and that he’d get entertainment money. This has helped but to be honest, I don’t take the money I am short falling normally I take the 300 towards getting the utilities meet, and grocery. I have missed two days of work which is going to make me short for meeting my credit card bill, and getting things I need a round the house.
I talked to my sister this weekend to share with her a little about hubby dad. Shared with her about what’s been happening with the other half of the family. My sister had good advice, don’t hold resentment towards his sister, just do what needs to be done. Take care of dad and know you are doing right by him. My sister and her hubby have went through what we have. I hate to say this but I think dad aging, has well brought me and sister a little closer together, because she don’t treat me like the little sister. Finally after 30 some odd years sis is starting to see me as a adult. Funny thing is she only 10 months older than me but tries to treat me like I am 5 yrs old sometimes.
Maybe my sis in law needs to look at best diet pills, so that she can get the energy she needs to help, and care for her children. It’s amazing how she will call and complain about her son’s brother father having him with him and refusing to send him home but yet she never does anything about it. It’s amazing how she calls and yells at us when finally we decide to defend dad against people who took advantage of him. You’d think she’d want to protect her father…. Not call and yell at us because we finally call the cops on someone who had several warnings to take all utilities out of dad’s name, or any credit cards with his name on it closed. You took my daddy away I was daddy’s little girl. More like daddies trouble maker who only cares about being able to take whatever can be taken for him for his son to have to turn around and clean it up.
Tonight is casino night because dad was ill over the weekend I guess I better get my homework started and a good start on it.
