My turn to vent......

[DianaB]

You guys have her pegged!!! I've known her for probably a year and a half so I've dealt with all kinds of things with her. I'm very careful around her because I've been through so much.

Plans have changed and we're taking her and her stuff to KC tomorrow. Glen's loading the stuff that we have in the basement tonight and she has strick orders to have the other stuff ready in the morning. I'll be surprised if she's ready though because she wasted today with her drama. Glen went by and she was all dramatic so he took her to see our Pastor. They listened to her talk nonstop. After she was done she mentioned that she DID have a place to go......her son said that she could move in with him and his girlfriend. Glen wasn't happy that she didn't mention that earlier. Anyway....he took her home and she tried to have Glen take her two dogs......but he told her no.....so she called Pastor and asked if the church could give her $300 for her to pay a deposit where her son is living at for the dogs!!!! Whew!!!! Glen was NOT happy about that!!!

Glen thinks that everything is all planned out and we'll have her up there and unloaded in no time.......but I don't believe it!!! There will be problems.......like I said "I've been through so much" with her!!!!

We are trying to do what we think God would want us to and have been trying to do that all along but this has really been hard. I've had a really good lesson out of this. If nothing else it makes me appreciate my friends and family so much more!! I don't know how people live with all the drama in their lives. Thank you, God, for my nice peaceful life!!!!

She asked the pastor for $300???? The church gave her a car already. At least she does go to church though.

I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for Glen today when he moves her. Is KC far away from you? That would be good!

[DianaB]

She WENT to church. The church gave her the car after her divorce so she had good transportation to work and back. I think that she came to church ONCE after that. We talked about that a couple of days ago but she swore that she came for 2 or 3 months but I know that's not right because I was looking for her. She didn't like any other churches in town and she wouldn't come to church because her ex-husband was coming. It's a mess!!!

Glen, Damon, and Glen's brother, Mark, are already in there loading up stuff. I think that we're buying her washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Maybe one of the kids could use them.

Judy, KC is probably a three hour drive from here. I live in southeast Kansas and it's in the northeast corner...so it will be a drive.

Glen said that he's just going to consider today a day for us....that after we unload Jody then we're just going to have fun together and he has a nice place picked out for supper!! That helps to make the day better!!!

Your hubby is a sweet guy, Diana!

I just hate it when people use a church to get help and then just move on. I bet she finds a new one and does the exact same thing!

Anyway, I hope you and Glen have a nice afternoon together!

Yesterday didn't start out very good. Glen went in first with the truck and trailer and I came in later. I guess that she didn't hardly have anything in a box when Glen got there. They were able to load the things that we bought from her except for the dryer (oh, and we bought her airconditioner too) and they took them to Damon's garage. She was using the dryer so they came and got it later.

By the time I got there she was wandering around the house picking up this and that and throwing it in boxes......except for the clothes, which were thrown in big trash bags....dirty and some clean. It was a HUGE mess!!! The house smelled like a big litter box and was soooo dirty!!! Jody tried to blame it on her depression but it's gone downhill ever since she moved in. I went to help but I didn't know what to do so I ended up going to Dae Lynn's and held the baby!!!

We finally left town at 11:30 and got there around 3:30. She didn't have any trouble renting a storage unit so we had to unload everything and Glen got it packed in all nice and neat. Then we had to find her son because he had his school computer and we need to take it back to the school. Then we went to another son's apartment, where she's staying and unloaded the few things that were in the truck. We didn't stay long because we were soooo ready to be gone!!

We stopped at Bass Pro and looked around. I found a really nice shirt and necklace to match. Then we ate at a wonderful steakhouse!!!! The visit going up with Glen was nice. We really tried to not think about how aggravated we were at Jody and to just have a nice time together!!! Glen did say that "this is the last time we move her!!!" We ended up getting home last night around 11:30!!!

Now Glen has to go to Jody's house and try to catch 3 cats. He's really not looking forward to going back in there!!! Guess that we'll add three cats to our farm!!!

Wow.....because I love you so much I am so thankful that she is gone and you won't have to deal with this person. I think you've gone above and beyond for this Jody and now it's time for her to take care of herself. Sometimes when we think we are helping...we are somewhat, but we are also enabling.

Now you can think of her good qualities and put the bad your mind. I'm so in awe of what you did for her Diana....you are such a wonderful person.

[judy]

It is good that she is with her son. He can take care of her now. You and Glen are such wonderful people. I am so encouraged by your relationship. That is what I want in my life, and I love hearing about you and Glen.

Jody is so fortunate that she had you in her life. I hope she figures that out one day, and gets herself to church for real.
