I will be able to take a nice relaxing breath this weekend. My nieces are leaving this morning for their other grandmothers house. This is great for me because it will give me two days of a bit of relaxation.

   It has been nothing but a whirlwind of chaos here for almost 3 weeks. My normal routine is gone. My baking is gone. My preparing my pantry for winter is gone. Even my homeschool schedule is gone. What I wouldn't do to get my life back in order!

   This weekend My Dh and I and our children will spend the days in our back yard painting our camper and spending time together. We are going to bbq all weekend and just play and relax. Dh promised to vaccuum my truck out since there is about an inch of food crumbs, dry grass and wood chips in it. It drives me nuts to have to share my truck with him and seeing it a dirty mess when I get in it drives me NUTS! So he is sweet enough to clean it out for me.

   I hope I will be able to get some baking done this weekend. It isn't like me to not bake but these few weeks I just haven't had time. If I'm able I would like to bake all desserts and put them in the freezer.

   I told my brother last night that he is going to have to figure out a way to get his kids with him for school. I told him I didn't mind the oldest staying here because she can get herself on and off the bus herself but there is no way I can get the 5 yr old on and off the bus with all of the doctor appointments we have. Waiting for a bus with her just isn't possible, I wish it were but I can't do it.

   So, I'm not sure what he is going to do. No one seems to care and school starts in about a week and a half.

   There is a house next door to me that has been empty for about 10 months. I asked around and found the owner and told them that I had someone interested in renting it from them. I made my brother call and he set up an appointment this afternoon to see it. I was happy for him because it seemed like a sure thing. Well, last night his wife informed that they won't be going to see it and gave all of these stupid excuses as of why.

   I just don't understand this... all the help I give just doesn't seem to matter. It seems like if someone doesn't do everything for them that it just won't get done.. This house was a great find for them. It was only 845$ a month and being next door to me I could help out here or there or help with food or whatever. But for them to turn it down is just crazy! It is like they don't want help.

   From what I understand they have no money saved and my sister-in-law gets unemployment but has two jobs under the table... what is a person suppose to do? I almost just want to quit helping because I don't know what their logic is anymore. Just when it seems like you have gotten through to them, they turn around and do something so stupid that it leaves your jaw on the floor.

   Anyhow, I can only keep them in my prayers and hope something good comes out of this all.

   I am off now to enjoy my weekend and to get my house cleaned and back in order... well, at least till Sunday.
