Morning fugee's and GFY
Rascal had me up at the crack of dawn swearing he had to go out but I think he wanted to chase kitties more than anything. Went to the ex's house yesterday and seen the new born puppies. Cute as can be. The momma dog was happy to see me but when the ex handed me a puppy, the momma dog wasnt too sure and got a bit antsy lol Rascal makes some beautiful puppies!
Looks like its going to be a beautiful day today. Rascal and me are going to lounge for a while and then find something to do where we can enjoy some sunshine
We are "fostering" our three bigger kids until December. Then, the lady working with the rescue folk will take them for transport to a big adoption event. They will at least go to good people that can let them be the good dogs they at least pretend being for me. *grin*
FIL had a conversation with wife's sister. It was basically the daddy's tough love speech which provided her with an assessment of what it means to her that we're moving out. He said he too had noted a lot of the cumulative things me and wife had known about with her.
To give a quick example, Sunday my wife worked so was out of the home all day, her sister didn't need to go volunteer at the local hospital and had literally sat on her ass all day. Well, as soon as my wife got home it was, "Chris, do you know where the other hot mitt is? I need to get the baked [whatever it was] out of the oven that mom put in for supper." Her sister had all day here and present to have found the needed mitt, but oh no, wait until her sister who worked all day out of the home comes home to put it on her.
Wife's dad got wound up a bit too. The sister had borrowed her granddad's old "big red" Ford pickup to go run the wheels off of it for trivial shit, stuff one would expect a person to logically combine together so as to not 'run' so much. Well, the FIL went to use "big red", that was to no avail as the sister had run it nearly out of gas. There was no offer to pay for gas, no refilling it before she brought it back.
So yes I'll miss my kids but yes I'll be glad when we're no longer here. As my wife said, hers sister and her husband will need to "grow up". We both know though that won't happen. It'll be left to "mom and dad", "Dad, buy me another car, the one I got is broke down because I'm too stupid to maintain it and too stupid to go driving without insurance and get my license suspended, because well I have a deadbeat husband that don't earn enough to help pay for my insurance ...".
Wife's dad in talking to me and wife, "my God, I've already gotten her at least six vehicles." The wife pointed out that he had only bought her one and helped out for repairs on another, she told him "at least I keep mine up best I can."
"Confound it!" I should quit before my blood pressure gives me a "hey dummy" headache. Besides here in a few weeks the chickens will come home to roost when they need to start paying for all the bills my wife paid, and doing stuff me and wife have done to help draw up the slack.
"La de de la ..." ♪♫♬ tsk. Figure it'll be a real wake up call, although I got my doubts too. *chuckles*
Her dad did compliment me though. "At least I don't have ask you to do stuff. I mean that in the sense of having to constantly keep on you and begging you to help or do something. I come to you or tell you something needs done, you drop whatever your doing, go and do what I need right then and there."
Takes all kinds of assholes I think. Unfortunately, some assholes make us good assholes look bad. *grin, chuckles* Hope you get one of those cute pups. I keep telling my wife I need a younger Patter dale terrier to come in and be Shrek's understudy. Old Shrek, not quite sure how old he is now but know he's seen the years. He still "baby sits" me good enough though. Poor old fellow, know i don't make it easy on him but he takes it in stride.
You be safe and keep the Light flowing along.
