Update: Now in new house

Hey Y'all
It's been a long time since I have updated, and for that I apoligize.
C sugessted I update and the comment from phoenix let's me know people still visit here even though the blog seems dead.

I have since moved into my new place and going thru all the stuff of getting things fixed in a "new" used mobile home and land. Some of it has been heart breaking and some of it good. There were a lot of leaks that had to be fixed. The place I bought the mobile home from has replaced the dishwasher and stove so far. We lost our fancy expensive kitchen faucet. My washer went out a few weeks ago and I had to buy a new one and my a/c froze up on thanksgiving. Various electical outlets around the house have had to be fixed and one outside still doesn't work. Now my well is fubar. Right now I don't have and am living without water. I feel guilty for putting C and K thru all this, but they have been very patient and understanding thru this. I can turn my pump on for a liitle while, that is if it doesn't lose it's prime but the water is not safe to drink. We can't turn the pump on long enough to take a shower, but I can turn it on long enough to flush the toilets. We are surviving by using bottled water and going elsewhere to take a shower. C just started her new job today and it breaks my heart that this is all hapening right now.

We had our first thanksgiving at our new house which was a success. (that was before the well went out) We had friends over and C fixed a turkey and dressing and all kinds of good stuff and friends brought food too. We had a real relaxing good time even thought it was a little hot with the A/C out and nobody to call to fix it. I feel very proud because C's holidays are usually stressfull at the least. Her family likes to get in conflicts and arguments on the holidays. Some families are like that. Dysfunctionally functional. Ours was peacefull though and for her and K to have a good positve holiday makes me feel special and proud. I am looking forwards to Christmas even though my wallet is shuddering and scared like a cat against a fence with growling dogs at it's feet. I just plain ol' wish I had more money and could do more. But isn't that true for all of us? I am excited for what christmas will bring after spending thanksgiving with with C and K as a family.

I am getting to know C and K on a different level now that we live together day in and day out as a family. It has been good for me to let them in like that. K calls me dad now and C knows me like the back of her hand. We really do work good together as a family. We are basically happy even if we are poor.

Speaking of poor I have to give props to my dad. He has been so good to me thru all this by helping me out not just with some of my problems but by being there for adivice and a shoulder to cry on sometimes. As he gets older and his life is coming to it close I fear the day when he is gone. He has always been there for me in so many ways and stood behind me and backed me up. He has been there when I was a religious nut. He has been there when I was a drug addict. He has been there when I was in jail. He is there for me even now.

Well Listen Y'all it's getting late.

Take care and if I don't post by Christmas, Merry Christmas and remember that Christmas isn't about gifts and decorating the house. It's about love and all that it represents.
