Monday, Monday, Monday

I cannot believe the weekend is over and it is already Monday. First I have to say how awful I feel for my sister-in-law, Pennie. This gitl has one of the toughest jobs I can think of in dealing with foster kids, their parents and foster parents. I just cannot imagine having to deal with kids who are struggling when their parents are not responsible people.

Last year she hurt her foot and was hobbling around for a long time and now she had surgery to clear up a carpal tunnel hand and it backfired so she cannot use her hand at all. Now she is trying to sell her house and the real estate lady told her to do some things even though she knows Pennie only has one arm/hand to use. WHAT????? I really wonder if the real estate lady is just saying things so if the house does not sell that she can say, "Well, you did not take my suggestions so it did not sell.' BALONEY! The house is in better shape than when she bought it and it looks a lot nicer, too! I think the real estate lady is trying to cover her behind. So, Pennie tried to repaint a room and fell and hurt her arm again! I know Pennie is not blogging lately so I do not know if sending her comments would help but if you could all say a little prayer it would help. (If you want to get to ger blog, go to Betty's blog and click on Pennie's link).

Well, our vacation fund went up a dollar because Breanna lost a tooth and she put the dollar the tooth fairy left in the canister. I thought that was nice of her to do that for the family.

Yesterday we went to my mother's for brunch because my aunt, uncle and two cousins were in town from the west side of the state. They are the type to sit around the table, drink coffee and crack jokes all day while mom cooks. I think mom enjoyed having her family and hearing laughter in her house again.

This morning I had a college student stop in and try to sell us educational books and cds for the kids for $420. She said she needed a yes or no answer today and I was not going to spend that kind of money without checking with hubby so I said no. I liked the set but we tend to buy these things and not use them very often so I passed. Besides, anyone who needs an answer today is too pushy!

My son is taking a bath with a squirt gun so I better go check and make sure he has not soaked the floor. Have a good one!
