LOL bree

No gifts bought here yet. Have no idea what to get the grandkids...thier other grandma blows thousands a year on their gifts. Now weather we will see them, is another thing.

Janelle(my stwep daughter) is being a queen bEE again. You see she always blamed her life on her dad and i . then later found out it was Her mother and step father that were causeing the trouble ...of course by then we missed her growing up(age 12 till her early adult life). Now she knows it was her mom and told us that...it was her mom that ended her marriage, and now is raising her kids 3-4 days a week. Janelle drops them off or has them picked up.
So this year she sent a letter via fasebook. We are to come to her home on the 25th. she will be at her moms on the 24th and the morning of the 25th. she will make supper at her home for us.Then went on to say she had called her grandma(grants dad and arranged to haveall of us(yes grant and i too) there for boxing day! I have to take something too!

First off...we always have our 24th - 26th here. Arliss is coing from B.C. this year, i have two single sons that will be here and a married one with his wife. She knows we do this yearly...it is our christmas thing. Our married son leaves by noon on the 25th and fo to her home.We don't go to janelles ...it is at our home and will be till we are in the home.Janelle knows that. She invited us but not the boys too.

Then Janelle goes on to say she is having Austins bday on the 21st....Not the 29th when his birthday is. She knows this is christmas party time, grant can't take the day off for the party, and finally one of us will be in jail if we have to sit through her mom and step dad. Her step day was looking for a fight last time. we missed Sarah's party because of her other grandparents. Her mom would not let us hold the baby, commented on all grant ate, bullied us into lending our playpen to janelle...whicj came back with a broken mobile and no bedding! He step day announded to janelles friend that hew was her dad not my dh because her raised them. Not by our choice. We paid for both homes they bought and a pontoon boat for them...was that not nice of us. they kids called and begged us for more money for coats and such. we even paid for contacks and other thing about child support for the kids.

I have not answered our fasebook message. Grant didn't answer her phone when she called. He doesn't want a fight before christmas. Janelle has not been here in a year, we have to go to her home. At the same time she has been to her mil (soon to be ex) several times a year so they can see the kids. Now what about her dad and i?? we live 1.5 hours from her home. Her inlaws 4 hour drive and her ex 2.5 hours. She says it is too far to drive here with her kids...hello!!

So dh knows if he gets on the phone and starts in ...there will be a war...all my fault of course!!

The oilfield is slowing and i am sure will crash soon if the price does not go up soon. rigs are shutting down. start buying and filling jerry cans guys just in case...may be hard to get fuel over christmas. This all means less work for grant. Try a $2000.00 drop in pay per month already!
I have not bought a gift for anyone yet.not sure if i should?? My kids will taqke anything. i was going to make quilts for the kids and grandkids,,,but she doesn't want one....hello!! it is a handmade gift...from the heart.
Maybe we need to call the whole holiday off?? This is why the tree is still not trimmed and 4 crates still sit here unpacked. Why do things have to be so hard??
