I know some of you remember my *itch sessions on here about my grandmother when she lived with us. First of all.. she sent my parents $500 ( for the kids bikes for christmas) in an envelope ( wrapped in paper inside) in the mail.. OH, I should mention.. SHE SENT CASH!!!!! That was the beginning of last week or the end of week before, it has not gotten here yet.
Also, she guilt tripped my mother into brining her bakc with us on Christmas eve. The problems??? Where do I start.. hmmm..
A) we are leaving MB driving to almost Charlotte, picking up gma, driving to monroe, having Christmas eve with over 25 members of family ( not gmas) and then...? WE ARE DRIVING BACK HOME THAT NIGHT!! Got to set up "Santa" get the kids in bed, etc.
B) She is staying at my parents house ( will go further into that in a moment) She is in a wheelchair and sometimes uses a walker. They have 2 bedrooms. WE are ALL staying there Christmas eve. Mom, Dad, Me, George, Duncan, Logan, Ian, Kyan and Gma .. 2 two dos bedrooms!!!! A TINY duplex apt. SMALL bathroom door. No way in he** her walker or wheelchair will fit through the bathroom door. Should also mention.. mom and dad only have ONE bed. Theirs.
C) She wants to spend a couple of days here. At my house.. with me.. and the kids.. with George having to work. We have an upstairs, no bedrooms down stairs, mom said she would just have to sleep on the couch. *sigh* Our couch is OLD and I can barely get off of it. She will just have to sit there and not move.
OK after I typed all of that George and I just talked. We've decided to tell my parents she cannot stay here. Not even one night. If she wants to come over, they have to bring her, stay here with us and then take her home with them. I just can't do it, especially not with my blood pressure.
