Little Man finally got his car up and running. Got his license. I took his car when I got home the other night and got it inspected. The next morning while he was driving himself and B to school----a dumb idiot ran a stop sign and took the whole front end off his car. Yes, the insurance company says it's totaled. Of course, the lady LIED and claims that she stopped at the stop sign. Yea, like they can't TELL that you would have had to be going much faster than your little piece of shit car could have accelerated from a dead stop in 10 feet to totally RIP THE FRONT END OFF HIS CAR. Yes, the boys are ok. Thank God for the cousins who came down and dealt with the police and getting the car back to our house so that I could still get to work. Yes, the car is fixable- as soon as we sort thru the insurance mess caused by the stupid lady LYING.
Ice Cube got a new truck. He got his girlfriends dad to co-sign this for him and went and got a Dodge 1500. Because of course this is what you do when you are down to 2 payments to have your last truck paid off. You go buy a more expensive one even though you were BARELY making the bills on the cheaper truck (did I mention 2 more payments and it was paid off????) And you do all this without talking to your MOM about it first because of COURSE she is stupid and has NO say so as you spend money you can't afford. And then to make things better- quit your job because your boss is an "asshole" before making the first payment. Because that is the ADULT thing to do. Right? (yes that is sarcasm dripping from every word).
Then when I talk to my mom tonight she mentions that her Dr. wants her to come in for more tests. What do you mean more tests mom? I ask. Well, she had an ultra sound and apparently needs more tests. An ultra sound on what I ask. Her chest and neck. Great. Just bloody great. She had breast cancer several years ago. This has been in remission for over a year now. But she decided that the anti-cancer pill she was taking was too expensive and she didn't want to take it any more. Besides, it was only good for stopping BREAST cancer- nothing else so what good was it? Her words not mine. I'm a thinking that this is NOT good and I'm not going to like what happens next.
And then- my bestest friend and the kids god-mother tells me that we may be moving. How does she dictate this you ask. Well, when we left ex- they bought my house. This was done 10 years ago and our plans were always to buy some land in the country and build a bigger house. We just haven't found the property until now. And maybe this piece won't work out either. But in the way of dreams- when you wait on one for so long- sometimes you stop believing in the power of the dream. We've settled in here for so long- it almost seemed like a dream that would never come true. Now I wonder if we're too old to fulfill what we always wanted to do. But if you stop dreaming- what do you have to live for? So, if we get the property, we will move my house down to the property and I will live there while they build the big house. I will be the one that does the day to day supervising while PJ and S stay here. B loves the idea. Almost 50 acres of woods- 4 wheelers to ride- things to explore. LM HATES the idea of moving which I totally understand. He doesn't want to change high schools. I am SO torn. My dream is to move to the country. The land is only a few hours from here so it's plenty close enough to come back any time. But I don't want my LM to be unhappy either. B wants to move so badly - he can taste it. No matter what I do- someone will be unhappy. PJ, S, and I have talked about this for 20 years. But at the same time- the thought of change scares me. And then I think- why worry about it yet- we don't even have the financing set yet and it might not come thru. So, why stress YET? And the other 2 boys are talking about getting an apartment together anyhow. But IC did say that he and Ms R may move down there with us if there's a college around there for Ms R. But, way close enough for weekends and holidays together.
Well, off to watch the end of the Red Sox- Angels game and then to bed. Hope you all have a great week!

wow you have a lot going on, Amy. I'm so glad your boys weren't hurt in the wreck. I hope your Mom will be okay too.
I'm with you - I want to move too, but we're gonna stay put until the kids graduate. Only 4 more years. Ugh.
It does sound like you have a full plate. I, too, am glad the boys are ok. Hope getting the car fixed isn't too big of a deal. That is always a serious bummer. The house in the country sounds heavenly. Maybe, if the financing works out, you can find a compromise that works for everyone. I hope so!
Wow, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. At least the boys weren't hurt in the accident. I hope the insurance company will come through for you.
Good luck on the property!
Amy, I'm sending warm thoughts your way. It is a real blessing that the boys were not hurt. Even when the day seems dark, just remember that "this too shall pass."
