Saturday

Well... We now have a tenement on wheels... AKA an RV... We are planning on spending part of next week camping in it. There is a long story behind how we got it and what is all involved with it. We hope to get title to it on Monday and get it in our name at that point. We do however have to spend a bit of time doing repairs to it. Its not spectacular. And until we do the repairs I am not going to post pics of it. Dave is Redoing the roof/ceiling and repairing all the leaks. He fixed the vents so the defrosters and heaters work now. The engine/ tranny in it are in excellent condition. There are no broken windows and it is in good condition even with its few issues. All of them we hope are fixable. It has a semi new awning on it. The carpet needs to come out and we are talking about putting in a faux hardwood floor. Read peel and stick tile floor from dollar store. They don't look too bad and it would be easy to keep clean with kids and dog. So once we put a bit of elbow grease into it, it will be well worth it. It is nice and spacious. It sleeps 8!!! We will all fit nicely. It does have a generator so we can "dry" camp if it ever was a need. The kids were joking about it the power goes out we have some place to go also. When we get done the value on it will be nice. We can sell it for 8 or 9 k if we decide to. But right now until we get the roof/ceiling re-done and the broken water pipe its not worth much.

Dave will not be keeping his new job. He hates it with a passion. He is not paid anywhere enough to work as hard as he has to. So he has decided to stay at Papa Johns until he can find something different.  I know there are reasons for everything. Jon is not thrilled at this but he will adapt. He doesn't play nice when he had to car share. He gets mad when the gas gauge is on E even though Dave always hands him a few dollars for it.

I have a little side note vent to insert here. I am very angry at my brother. He knew that Steph had the procedure this week and he has not once called or emailed to ask how she is.  I am a lot of bit mad about it. Also I told the missionaries from my church and my relief society has not offered any help like a meal or anything or even called to see how she is. But yet I keep getting asked to take meals to others. I guess I am feeling a lot of aloneness and like no one cares about me at all right now. I do have to give Lizzzzzzzzz credit though. She did call Tuesday which mad Steph feel a ton better.  And we had asked Lizzzzzzz to take Meega to cheer if we were not back in time and she did call several times through out the day to see how things were going. She impressed me with it. Let me add that this was by no means a sympathy ploy. It just re-enforced to me how much I have to rely on myself and cannot trust others. The sad thing is I am possibly going in for surgery myself in a few weeks and will be laid up for 8 weeks. I have no clue how I will get through that. But I now know without a doubt what resources I do have and don't have.
