I haven’t been on Facebook much these past couple of months, but today I signed in and I saw this and felt compelled to copy and paste it on here. These words just seemed to hit the spot today for some reason. I hope I’m not coming down with anything….
It looks like my sister-in-law has changed her mind once again about how she wants her master bath made over. Part of the Easter dinner conversation was about the do over that is taking place over there, and the beautiful vessel sinks that she found online and now wants to use in their master bath. Most of the talking was done by her while my brother basically nodded his head and smiled on occasion when he felt it was warranted. I feel so bad for him to be stuck in this marriage with a loud mouthed woman who seems to be busy making his life miserable all because they got pregnant and decided to “do the right thing” and get married, for the baby’s sake.
Well we haven’t held true this year with the old saying that April Showers bring May Flowers. I sure hope that we do get some rain soon, my well is acting like it is running on the dry side and that isn’t good news. I wonder who ticked off Mother Nature this year. We have had nothing but wacky weather for so very long, it’s getting old.
Sandra was telling me that her ten year old son has asked her if he could use his allowance money to buy a video game called Uncharted 3. She asked me if I had ever heard of the game, or played it myself. I told her that I have not played that game before, but heard that it is a Teen rated game, so I would encourage her to steer him in a different direction at this point in time. I know that there are a lot of parents that let their pre-teens play Teen rated games, but I think that it is a mistake.
During the past week I’ve heard of two incidences of family members losing cash and it drives me crazy. My own mother mailed cash to one of my nephews in a birthday card, and the birthday card was never received. What drives me crazy about this instance is that she has done this before and lost the cash, and we had a long talk about how she should never put cash in the mail. And to top it off, she has seen my nephew several times recently and she could have simply handed him the birthday card instead of putting it in the mailbox.
The second instance is when my niece left her rent money, which was in cash, in her purse at work. The employees have to share lockers, so several people had access to her purse during the day. Her money went missing, and so she claims that she has no rent money. I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would leave large amounts of cash in a shared locker at work. Why she did not keep the money in her pocket, or in her locked car stashed under the seat or in the trunk or glove box I have no idea at all. It was hard biting my tongue on that one, I’ll tell you that!
