What a week !
After nearly a month of stalling we finally moved in to our new house (the person above us in the chain wasn’t ready to move) even though I was only moving two streets away from my mums house as you would expect anything that could go wrong did go wrong !
To make matters worse we had a surprise visit from family members, which confused Gran completely to the point where she didn’t recognise any one, and Me moving out seamed to have completely thrown her off balance. She is constantly saying how unhappy she is here (with my mum) and how she will get her own place as soon as we let her outside.
She couldn’t cope in her own place, she couldn’t even cope in her wardenated (spelling) bungalow, whilst family was down of course our names were mud, Mum ran around day and night serving every one making sure they were ok, whilst Gran Barked orders and was damn right rude too us.
With 7 extra people staying (4 under ten years old) its been manic, they completely out stayed their welcome, Ben and I haven’t spent a single night alone in our new home or had a meaningful convocation.
We have boxes every where, no clean clothes, waited in two days for the cable company to come and install the internet and telephone and on the third day they finally appeared. Gran gave the “butterflys” a cup of tea, of course they are not really butterflys their tropical fish, which meant a wasted 4 hours completely cleaning the tank and everything in it, luckily all the fish survived.
After hours of moaning and complaining and nastiness from Gran about how she would be better off in her own home or a nursing home, I told her to just do it and go no one is stopping her to forcing her to stay here, then I stormed off home poured myself a huge glass of JD, and had a sleep. I felt so guilty and I know I shouldn’t have spoken to her like that and should have just bit my tongue. Thankfully today she seams to have forgotten all about our argument.
Oh and to top the week off, When mum rang to get some more incontinence pads for Gran, she was told she couldn’t have any until some one had been out to “weigh” yes Weigh every pad used over a two day period, this is to access her need for them so we are to save all used ones until someone comes out next week. I am so pleased it was mum that rang them and not me because after the week I have had would have told them where they could stick their used incontinence pads !!!
Sorry for the rant, just needed to get it off my chest,
Josh
