It's been a long time

Well It's been a long time since I've written. Things have just been so crazy!

My parents finally made it home from Mexico. A lot happened. My stepdad brought my grandma home from Mexico (on a Thurs night). We saw her Friday at the hospital. She looked very dehydrated and malnoursished but mentally she was all there. She knew who we were. Early Sunday morning she took a turn for the worse and she passed away Sunday night (Nov. 25). RIP Grandma Joan :( It was just too sad, she never should have been taken advantage of the way she was. Hopefully we will get our revenge...if not one day those people will have to answer for what they did to her.

Ben's mom is in town now for good. She is staying with us until their house in Arizona sells. Who knows when that will be. But she is working on finding a job right now. We thought she may have gotten one yesterday but it turns out they didn't evne have any jobs openings they just wanted her to fill out paperwork. Weird. She is calling a few places today that she put applications in to and she went some more places yesterday and filled applications out. So hopefully soon she will get something. We could use the financial help and I don't know that she will be able to help us all that much until she gets something permanent. She is driving me slightly crazy though, she is doing my laundry which bugs me. I don't want anyone doing my laundry. She can do towels and stuff but not everything else. But she continues to do it. I keep telling Ben to tell her not to do our laundry but he won't of course. And she is burning all my candles! Those things aren't cheap because they are Yankee Candles and she's already gone through 2 of them! I am not happy about that at all. I usually save them for when we have people over but she burns them all night long grrrr....

In other news, still busy at work. Things are crazy here and still working a good amount of overtime!
