My life, chaos and all...

Cancer, Addiction, Chaos...

Okay, I know it has been a coons age since I have blogged... however my life has been completely flipped upside down and inside out in August.

At the beginning of the month it was all somewhat normal...Then Dad calls, my step-mom is in rehab...again...thats like 6 times this year or something. So away to Yukon I go to help Dad & the boys clean the house spotless before she gets home, so she isn't overwhelmed (housework isn't her forte). We get it cleaned and go visit her after church... WOW! She is bad. What ever she is coming off of has her out of it. I hate that she abuses med. We come home and I make plans to take my brothers for the next weekend and I head home.

Home for a week, we don't have anything really eventful happen. I go get the boys on Saturday have them till Monday (will blog the weekend w/pics later). The week I took the boys home my Nanny was diagnosed with end stage renal cancer that has spread to her left lung. She is 80, and she said "We will do what we have to do to fight it, to win."

WOW! She is my hero!!!

Next cue my step-mothers psychotic moment... Knowing my dad was going to file for divorce, Tammy goes out and gets a restraining order against my dad for her and the boys. She does this THE DAY BEFORE MY BROTHER, JOEY'S, BIRTHDAY!!! Not only does she have no chance of getting the boys in a custody battle (they will have joint if nothing else, Dad doesn't want to cut Tammy out of their life..she is their mother) now she is dragging two children into a situation they should have been protected from (Like my dad was trying to do).

Oh! and I am working again. I am doing a daycare for my families kids 5 days a week. And I love it!! I love getting to see my niece and nephew on an everyday basis. And my lil bro Greg too. Kaykay likes it too, its an adjustment for everyone but I think its the best for all of them. The kids get 2 balanced meals a day with me, activities to stimulate them and keep them entertained. They also get to have that feeling of the "stay at home mom" experience that my sister and I got growing up.

So that is my life in a nut shell or nut house for the time being. I will also be blogging about some of these in greater detail in their own blogs. So keep a look out for upcoming blogs and more of this chaos I call my life.
