Our son is in good hands, I think
We got us a noreaster! Woohoo! My first ever. So far it has been categorized by lots and lots of rain and high winds. Maybe I’ll see a ‘cane! Some livin, baby!
Well, Amber made it here in 20 straight hours because they didn’t have the money to stop in a hotel. However, they did have the money for lots and lots of Starbucks along the way. Anyway, they (Amber and her friend) got here on Saturday at about 3 am. Saturday night they checked out all the clubs in Richmond (ah to be 22 again), then Amber took her friend to D.C. to catch a flight back home. Except that they left really, really late, realized they had the wrong directions, and instead of calling us or trying to read a map, paid another $250 for another flight this morning at the same time (7:15 am), and came home.
The same people that found their way across the flipping country and to our front door (harder than you might think) couldn’t find their way to a major airport with about 1,000 signs. Hmm. What this says about the levels of D’s care, I don’t care to ponder. Also! Amber decided she doesn’t want to work at Lowes (she transferred) but instead of going in and telling them that, she’s going to call this morning at the same time she’s due to work. I’m sure I did stupid crap like that once upon a time but clearly she has some growing up to do.
My job is not to berate or educate her, but simply to pay her the salary we agreed upon and let her take it from there. Right now she’ll be watching D full-time and getting a PT job on the wkends; eventually to go PT for us, PT with more hours at her other job.
In other words! I am trying to find a new house. I don’t see why we live way out in the country, since the benefits don’t exist there as advertised. Those of you who know me know what I’m talking about. Suddenly, being able to walk to work and to coffee shops on the weekend, and Coltrane and lil pill up and down in a historic district seems like a fun idea. So, I’ll get started and see if anyone will take us with our credit. No matter what, we won’t be in our current house for more than a year.
