Never Ending Story...Grown-up Edition

A week after my last post my husband's grandfather passed away sort of unexpectedly; he had been very sick, but what he had been sick with isn't what killed him.  This caused family to turn on one another, and we've seen very true colors come out of some people that were very unexpected and sad.  On top of that our landlord is backing out on everything he promised us when we moved in, so now we're in the market to move once more (thankfully it's a month to month basis).  Oh, and vehicle problems still.  I'm not "down in the dumps" or depressed about anything, I wouldn't even say I'm frustrated, I guess it's just ironic to see "history repeat itself" in such a short amount of time.  Hopefully this will be the last move we have to make before we are able to buy or build our forever home.  We should have 1 new vehicle right around Christmas and hopefully be able to go buy a new (to us) one shortly thereafter.  Sadly we can't distance ourselves from family.  Not even sad that we can't, but sad that even on a small scale we should want to.  People wondered why I didn't want to graduate from high school, I think I knew then what most of my classmates didn't - life was easy.  Even for all the "problems" we had then, some very real, none of us could have seen what problems awaited us in the future.  Sometimes I wish I could go back with the knowledge I have now.  But then that's not growing and living, and I'd be missing out on some very amazing things in my life right now.  I guess it's a contemplative day.  Now however I need to "contemplate" getting in the shower and going to work, I apparently wrote down my schedule wrong and just got a call from my boss telling me I'm late (crazy retail Christmas hours), but on the plus side I don't have to work as late as I thought :)
