Can't believe how quickly this year has past, It's been up and down. Up - ankle is healed, although it still reminds me that it's not totally healed. I've started going to a gym - my peace and quite, and took my first "Body-flow" class on Saturday, I cried, I've been informed that this is not unusual. 

We gave Bobby the turtle to San DIego Turtle Rescue - the lady was wonderful, he will end up with a pond and lots of other red eyed sliders - things I was unable to give him at this time. Still have 2 dogs and 1 hubby (that's all that's allowed).

I still live in crazy place, and it's no better - but.........I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

Comic-con is a month away. We get to stay in San Diego this time - booked my mother's apartment, and she's going to stay with a friend. So if anyone is going to be there, please contact me, would love to meet.

Best friend has lymphoma - diagnosis is good - half way through treatment, I pray - however those go daily.

Brother turns 40 in 2 days - as he's not speaking to me, and my life is crazy enough without his mess - I'll send him a card - but I won't expect anything else. At least for a year I'll remember how old he is. :)

That's my quick note.

So it's been an interesting 6 months, the place I am living, is gotten worse and worse. We're planning to be out by the end of the year. If we do almost nothing, and save, I think we can do it. It's been 3 years, and we need our peace and quiet. No kids, no demands. I have my own personal demands, i don't need to have others make me their rock to get through life. I can barly get myself through life. Lets see:

Spent time last fall looking after nephew, longer than I wanted, and brother was very unappreciated, so I don't want to do that again.

Was suppost to go away for new years, but instead fell down the stairs and broke my ankle, but there is good and bad with that. Had to take things alot easier. The break wasn't bad, just annoying more than anything else. Only in the past couple of weeks have I started walking the dogs again. But, I did WIN an overnight stay at the Hotel Del, and my mom is looking into letting hubby and I stay at her place during Comic-con. Tickets always bought in advance of course. We're using the Del night, the week before Comic-con, over our anniversary, then 3 days off for Comic-con, then birthday and a week off, and yesterday someone invited me up to the mountians for a weekend, which I will probably take up with her, at the end of April, take dogs and hubby.

So I am someup crazed by the living situation, we've got to get out of there. And I want to find a "perminante" home. And I am getting help with the Law School Applications.

That's all, for now, dogs are well, as is turtle.

Can't believe it's been since September. Wow, and the world keeps going on. I'll write later, I finally found the information I needed to get back in... so to speak. Life is better and worse. I MUST move. Must stay in North County of San Diego, but have to get out. It's crazier then ever.

That's it for now, details later

Ok, it changes from day to day.  Mom and kiddies have left town for a week. Hubby and I have house to ourselves for 8 days. I am taking a 4 day vacation from the job, over the weekend, but still, I'll be unreachable except an already prearrainged dinner with girlfriend on Friday. Other than that going into hiding.  From the 16th until the 7th I am looking after the nephew while brother goes on the road.  Labor day weekend wasn't as bad as it could have been.  I want to go see the new Cohen Brother's movie, after "No Country for Old Men" it should be a quite light. Got pics from Comic-con, not uploaded yet, loaned to brother in law for a few (weeks) will upload as soon as I get them.

I couldn't decide what to call this blog, if I didn't have family I would have a nice quiet life, no stress, no hassles, no trying to save the world for other people. SIGH.  My brother is off again with KISS for a few days, but being his normal organized self, he didn't bother to contact me until the day before he was leaving to see if I could look after Tyler. It's a holiday weekend this weekend, and I could use the rest, but NOOOOOO, that ain't going to happen. It's started already. Yesterday I swung by bros house, to get the cash he had left me, and my mom and Ty pulled up behind me. Ty had been stung by a sting ray in the ocean, and although I know it hurts, etc, he would just never keep his mouth shut about it. It's constant. Granted, should have just taken him home and toss him in the hot bath so he could relax, but that didn't happen, so after 45 minutes of his grousing, he finally got home, and in the tub, I was stressed, it was 7:30 pm, and I still hadn't gotten home yet. Can I be mad at my brother, or Tyler or both, I don't know. Tyler has many problems, emotional and developmental. It's not totally his fault. My mom emailed me this morning and said he was good for the rest of the evening, and as he had to sit in the tub for an hour, he had dinner in the tub.

I like a nice quiet, peaceful day, with the dogs and maybe a hint of lavendar in the air. Tranquility, not chaos, which is what is going to be for the next 4 days. Spend the night tonight at Tylers, it's closer to my job, tomorrow drive home with Tyler, patch the holes around the house for a party Saturday night, which I am not going to, take Panda, Chris, and Tyler, and hubby back down to San Diego on Saturday, go to Hodads (which if you are ever in San Diego, is the best place to get a hamburger), then go to friends for evening entertainment, then sleep at brothers with all three kids. Then Sunday go to the beach for a beach party, and I think I have to swing by the house to get the dogs, so another 35 miles drive home to get the lads, then an afternoon at the beach. Then Home. But I don't know if I have Tyler until Monday evening or not. I am kind of hoping my mom with pop in Sunday evening and monday, but he's such a handful that it's hard to put that burden on her.  This is my dreaded weekend up coming.

The otherside of the coin, is that on the 10th of September, Kelly is leaving with the kids for a WEEK from a Wednesday to a Wednesday, so I am thinking of taking a couple of days off so as not to have to deal with any kids - because starting the 16th I have 3 weeks of looking after Tyler.  I am tired already.
