Mom Forgets


Sam got a deer the first day out. He was bored for the rest of the trip.

Mom is now living with us.

One of our dogs likes to sleep with her so she closes the door to keep him out.

Jim is a boy without a room for the next 3-4 months. He is taking it hard but we are bribing him to keep him happy.

Scarlett is never home and this bothers my mother. She asks every night is Scarlett coming home tonight? Who knows? She feels much better when everyone is home. Hopefully she will get her phone tomorrow. She is worse than the kids with messages. We have asked her several times not to answer our phone but she forgets and the message kind of goes like this --" oh oh Mike there was a call for you - I can't remember his name it was real important say some names and I'll try to remember who it was and what he wanted? Mike is getting a little upset with her. Sooo again I ask her not to answer our phone to let the recorder get it. But we have too many phones; which one is she not suppose to answer. What part of none of them does she not understand. BREAKING NEWS -- I just got a call from mom - her phone won't be in for another week; we have to have Pacific bell back out and then AT&T.

Well all our laundry is done but we have to search everyone's room to find our stuff. She also said that we will take turns cooking. Wrong Again I have cooked every night but she cleans up this I like. She gets on the kids to pick up what ever they left on the floor or table or counter this is a good thing. We are still adjusting to this. It is good to have another woman in the house one that sticks up for me.

We got a new trailer last week and Mike already smashed the tail gate with the fifthwheel; of course it was my fault.
