Life......
Aug. 5th, 2007 08:13 amIt's kind of funny. I Feel pretty good about things but then again, I am a member of the "Underclass". I'm afraid my being "uppity" is going to affect things for quite a while. Oh well....
Found out yesterday that Chris and his wife Sandi left Mom & Dad. I guess they felt that they didn't need any help after being taken care of by responsible members of society. No need to mention it to us. Mom still looks great. Dad, better than the last family dinner but still pale and thin. When I go over today I'll bring some of me garden's produce, since Dad's has pretty much died off while he's been sick. I'd prep some meals so they don't have to bother but they both consider that an insult...that they can't even feed themselves. Luckly, I Know them well enough(and don't have the Ego, shocking as some might think;>!)not to do it. I bet their cats will be happy to have the "Interlopers" gone. Sandi doesn't allow her cats to spend even a night alone and brought them with.
I think one of the biggest changes/problems is that they aren't going to Trust Chris as much anymore and this means more pressure on me. Of course, I'll get blamed for it as usual. I mean, using the business model of a hostile takeover in family situations seemed to me a recipe for resentment....no matter how lofty the intentions. But what do I Know?
Troth,
