Well guess who got in a fight with her BIL

  I tried, I really did.  But within 20 minutes we were fighting.

  We were going to have my MIL's house deeded over to our name.  Her lawyer advised against it stating we would have to pay inheritance taxes.  My MIL didn't really want to do it as she as always thought that was a terrible way to get out of paying for your nursing home.  We had tried to talk her into it years ago, but she said her house was suppose to be payment if she ever had to go into a nursing home.  It was all she had to help with the payments and she didn't want the government to have to pay her way.  Its her house and I could see what she meant.  So we didn't do it.  That means the house will go into the estate and be divided equally per her wishes.

   Well my BIL is freaking out because he is trying to get on permanent disability and having this house be partly his will affect that especially when it sells and also he owes back child support.  My MIL always sent him money to his roommate so he didn't have a paper trail of getting any money.  So he wants us to go ahead with getting the deed changed even if Betty is against it.  He will be able to talk her into.  I don't want to now because I am concerned about the taxes.  How will we get Bobs half if he takes the money and splits.  He got very defensive and surprise, surprise, I blew up.  All he is concerned with is getting the money and not having to have it in his name.  Of course I told him paying child support was an honorable thing and he should be happy he was coming into money so he could contribute to his sons well being.  Well....THAT didn't go over very well, LOL.

    So anyway, after fighting for 25 minutes and ruining my evening I went to bed and took my sore puppy with me.  And I was ticked at myhubby who just sat there.  I feel since he agreed to be her administrator that means he has to follow her wishes.  Nobody ever stands up to the BIL because he can get so obnoxious.  Well I do.  I told my MIL we having an argument and that the Swedes were ahead which she got a chuckle over.  She is pure Danish and it is a joke between us.


   So now the cards are on the table.  My BIL has no doubts about how I feel and knows that we know he has been mooching off her for years.  This might get fun.  He also wants to change the funeral after Betty has changed it.  She paid for it right away so any changes will have to come out of his pocket.  She isn't dumb, LOL.

  Zoey woke me up last night around 3:30 softly crying under her breath.  I gave her a pain pill and some water.  Poor baby.  She is so sore.  Right now she is lying at my feet.  I hope the pain gets better soon.  Well, time to go.  Take care all.

Graphic pics.

   Don't look if incisions bother you.  My poor baby.
 
   Usually when we get to the vet she runs in and jumps on the scale, gets weighed and when the tech comes for her trots in the back.  No problems.  Today.....she digs her paws into the ground and pleads with us with these super pathetic eyes not to let them them take her,  whining....Oh god it was so sad I almost grabbed her and ran.  How did she know?

  She is back with 6 new incision.  The one in her mouth and on her front they sent into to get biopsied.  Those were the ones he was worried about.  We find out in 5 to 6 days if she has cancer.  She looks so shiny and pretty and acts so healthy I can't believe it is.  Please pray.  They also cleaned her teeth.  What a sweet smelling mouth she has now.  In 2 weeks they take the stitches out.

  My BIL is coming over to ruin my day off today.  Sigh.  He wants to fly his son back for a visit.  Guess who will pay for that?

   My grandson is at the hospital with a 104.7 temp tonight.  We are waiting for word.  My son is beside himself.  Soon as he leaves of course his son gets really sick.  Same old fun at our house.

  Well, take care all.  I am slowly making the journals.  Joy and peace to all. 

    My sons after the bike ride today, it about killed me.  I have gotten in rotten shape.

Zoey's surgery is tomorrow.



            My beautiful Grandchildren.  Wish I had them in my arms right now!
    Work was very busy last night.  Very ill patients so the night just flew.  One more to go and them some time off.  I will be grateful as my back is out right now and I really need to rest it.

    My BIL is coming over to eat tonight.  I am glad I will only be here a short time.  I am not sure why I let him get to me but he does.  I should just let the past be behind us and wait to see if he comes across for Betty.  He is in a bad spot right now and who am I to judge how he handles stress.  I am not handling stress as good as I used to.   I just don't feel like I can trust him.  Plus he has been in lots of therapy over the years for his drinking and drunks and just all his emotional problems.  Every time he is here he tried that phyco-babble on me.  Well why DO you think you reacted that way Sis.......  Uh, because I am a bitch and proud of it I want to reply, LOL.  Don't know why it bothers me but it does and as he would say, then it is YOUR problem, and he would be right, LOL.

    Zoey has surgery in the morning.  I have to find a way to mark all her lumps so they don't miss any.  He said red lipstick....not on MY carpet, excuse me.  So we will have to find something else to use.  I told my husband to get some whiteout.  I am so nervous and will be very happy when it is over.  I hope she isn't is too much pain.

  Well, my men just came home so I will close.  Take care all.
   OK, just got done giving Zoey a bath and getting the toxic white out off her.  What now.  I guess we try to shave her, that should be fun.  He wants all the lumps marked so they make sure and not miss any.

Yippy, My puters back


        I finally got my computer back today plus I also got a laptop that they had reconditioned making it in my price range,( broke), so if it ever happens again I still have one I can use.   What a nightmare.  He managed to save my pictures and word messages.  Now I have to figure out a virus program.  I know Norton is good but so pricey,  my youngest uses a free service but I have to ask him about that.  What is everyone using?

     My oldest son got in today.  50 some pounds lighter, he looks great.  I missed him so much.  My BIL got in yesterday.  Still the same from what I can see so far.  I gave him a list of instructions, showed him where everything was kept and what chores he had to do daily and left him with my MIL, LOL.  I told Betty, if you need anything or this isn't working out, call me. 

   Yesterday a lot of relatives were up from Missouri to visit.  BIL decided it was time to watch his home movies.  Well no one really ever wants to watch home movies, especially when they were here to visit and we were all happily talking away.  But he always has an agenda and that is what he had planned by golly.  Had to do it his way.  So in went the movies and slowly we all snuck out one at an time and ended up outside talking while him and my poor trapped MIL watched the movies.  Who knows, maybe she enjoyed them. I would probably at a different time also when I wasn't visiting.

    My MIL is doing pretty good right now.  I am afraid though she was just holding on for my BIL to get here.  One of our relatives said I didn't prepare them enough for how thin and sick she looked.  Gee, I told them she looked terrible, old and frail. Maybe I am getting used to it.   But she is happy her baby boy is home.  Funny she is the only one and that may change.  He already snapped at her earlier.  Boy did I shoot him a glare.  He is keeping his distance from me as he knows what I think of him.

   2 more nights to work and then I can visit with my son more.  Friday we are hoping to get all the bikes out and go to Adams to ride.  Should be fun.

   Isn't the picture above pretty in a way.  It has a layer of dust from the road giving it a velvety look.

  Well, I am so far behind on work in the shop.  Take care and I am turning on my alerts so I can visit your journals.  Check out the baby Robins, they are getting big.

Hi

   I am one of those people who gets words mixed up.  I will tell my husband I am going to mow the carpet and vacumn the grass.  Today I actually did vacumn the grass!  A rogue wind lifting up my umbrella on my patio table and crashed it down again shattering the glass.  So there I was with my shop vac doing the grass,  be careful what you say, it may come true. 

   My husband is picking up my BIL today.  Let the fun begin.  I should be getting my puter back tonight or tomorrow.  Yah

Puter still down

   Well my computer is still down and I am really missing it.  It was full of viruses.  My son says its because I am always getting the cute emails with animated gifs and downloading them.  I didn't think they were dangerous.  Anyway they had to sweep my computer and I hopefully will get it back tomorrow.  I lost everything which is bad, but they saved my pictures, good news.  So I guess I can't open any emails with graphics,  when you get a pop up don't close it using close, alway the X.  Never use internet explorer again and surf using a limited account name.  I sure can't afford to have this happen again and will  be very careful in the future.  I thought as long as I didn't open attachments and didn't download anything I was safe, but the hackers have figured that out.  Darn hackers,  wish they would crawl back in their hole.
 
   Not much going on today.  Work,. work work.  Take care all.

Broken computer

  Hi Everyone.  My computer is down so I am using my sons.  Hopefully they can get it fixed soon.  I miss my computer and I am in the middle of a big consignment sale also.  Terrible timing.  Guess what?  The BIL is coming Monday, should be interesting.  Take care all.
