Okay maybe I should have introduced our family before I started venting. I am Charlene my husband is Desmond. He has a 20 year old daughter, Marissa, I have a 15 year old son, Zach, together we have a 10 year old son, Dustin, and a 9 year old daughter, Calli.
Desi and I have been married for 15 years. We met August 25, 1993 and we were married on November 23, 1993. It was the day before my 20th birthday. Our marriage is the first for both of us. Yeah us!!! I am 35 and Desi is 42.
Marissa is legally married to Bryan but they are in the process of a divorce. They are still friends which is good because they have 2 kids together. My grandson, Kile just turned 4 on Christmas Eve and my granddaughter, Mikaelah just turned 3 on October 8. Okay now it gets confusing. Marissa is engaged to Aaron and they live in Boise. Aaron has a 10 year old daughter Jasmine. Marissa is also pregnant with Aaron's baby girl. The baby is due on April 28. Now Bryan is engaged to Melissa (Mel) and they live in Olympia, Washington. Mel is pregnant with Bryan's baby. She is due on May 25 and we will find out she is having on January 2, 2009. Yeah!!!
Zach is 15 almost 16. He'll be 16 on February 12th. He is in the 9th grade again. He had to repeat because of his poor attendance last year. Dustin is 10. His birthday is March 16th. He is in the 5th grade. Calli is 9. Her birthday is April 14th. She is in the 3rd grade again. She was held back because the school said she wasn't capable of going on to the 4th grade because she needed extra help with her reading and math. Well the school was wrong. She is doing excellent in school and they have taken her extra help away. Her new school has retested her and said she is exactly right for her age.
Okay so that is our family in a nut shell. As you can see our house gets really full at times. Thanks for listening.

Waiting for promises to be kept
Okay so my brother-in-law and his wife were supposed to move out today. Yeah right!! They have the keys to their new apartment but they decided to stay another night. When they first came back from Colorado we told them they could stay for 1 week. That was on November 14, 2008. It's now December 30, 2008.
Okay don't get me wrong they are not that bad to be around. But come on we have a family of 5 with 2 dogs plus them and their 2 cats all in a 3 bedroom house with 1 bathroom. Yes my sister-in-law does help clean and cook. But my brother-in-law is a "know it all". Well he thinks he is anyways. It's impossible to watch a movie or a television show without him commenting on EVERYTHING!!!! It gets really annoying. If you don't like what you are watching then leave the room. Nobody is forcing you to stay and watch. He thinks his opinion is the only right one and that everyone wants to hear his opinion ALL of the time.
We have spent so much money on groceries since they have been here. I can do the grocery shopping for a week on $100. Since they have been here we are now spending $300 a week. It's ridiculous!!! Everyday we have to buy 2 gallons of milk and a 12 pack of coke plus dinner. We can't shop for the week because they eat what we have set aside for meals. And they don't bother to replace what they eat!!! Oh well it's only for 1 more day. Breathe in, breathe out, let the uglies go.
Anyway our son-in-law and his fiance are back from Phoenix with our grandson. They can only stay for 1 day because he has to work on New Years Day. It's really sad. They have to leave in the morning to go back to Olympia, Washington. That's okay because on Friday we will find out if she is having a boy or a girl. I can't wait. I'll explain their situation later.
