My Nephew came in town Friday night, his school is just now getting spring break. How sad... At any rate he is here to drive my father back to New Mexico....Alleluia!! The man should have left 2 months ago but for whatever "he Hates Houston mantra" he is still HERE!! The cause as to how he ended up here was he fell twice causing odd behaviors and an inability to take care of himself. That was back in October. In November we found out why... two tennis ball sized hematomas in his skull. We have them removed and he is on months of PT and OT to regain function ability to live alone. He was cleared 2 months ago. I know I have said that already but that means I have been living UPSTAIRS in my sons bed room for 8 weeks longer than I should have been. My father is an angry, greedy, selfish, man who is NOT easy to live with. I have since decided that my mother was purely an angel and martyr for dealing with him for 50 years.
Just a few weeks ago one of the twins asked me why God could not just take him, and then asked why Nan didn't want her husband back... to which she quickly replied to her own question..." I don't blame her.... I wouldn't either." How sad and funny at the same time that a 9 year old feels that way about their Grandfather. He, since getting better has tried to run my house and my children. I get to hear almost daily, how dirty my house is which it is not, it is just currently housing a family of 6 and his NOW inside dog, how my children need 100 % supervision, which they do not, and how i need to sell my house and buy one in a the adjacent neighborhood which he deems as better, oh the list could go on for a while. I love my father I really do but he is not someone I can or would ever choose to live with. The next time he comes down he will either have to get himself a condo, an apt, or stay in an extended stay hotel somewhere because as for my and my house we cannot do it again.
So all of that to say they leave on Thursday...God speed!!
