What's Going On........

[DianaB]

I know.....it's so sad. Amy stopped by this morning and after talking about other things I asked why Jason thinks that we bought several cars for Dae Lynn.....which isn't true (We finished paying for ONE car while she was in college) well, it brought the WHOLE thing up. Amy said that Jason was even threatening about moving because I had pointed out that we had helped them out by letting them live on our property.....and we weren't expecting any payment from them but that was our way of helping them out. The arguements are getting so childish. Amy also pointed out that Dae Lynn was trying to talk Glen into a vacation in Florida so he could scuba dive and she and the kids could tag along. I knew when she brought it up that it wasn't going to happen......but the "others" all were upset with Dae Lynn that she could sponge a vacation off of us.....which she offered to pay for her part of going. They are also upset that Dae Lynn often takes my vehicle so that I can "pay for her gas". I know that she does that and it doesn't bother me......it does bother me when she makes unnecessary trips and I do mention that. Sometimes she takes her own car which gets better gas mileage. She DOES have one of our gas cards so she's not paying for her own gas.....except for when she goes out of town with Damon. The arguement is about such piddly, stupid things like that. Amy also pointed out that it's NOT Damon that they're upset with......it's Dae Lynn.

In our discussion it was pointed out to Glen that his talking to Jason and Feyn about Dae Lynn's problems and complaining wasn't helping anything......so hopefully he's going to try and keep things either to himself or friends that aren't family......that will pray for us.

I'm ready for this to die down or get over with. I'm so tired of this. If you hear a loud noise it may be me SCREAMING my head off!!!!!

Go ahead and scream....I've done it and must say it actually helps...lol I'll be listening!

We're trying to let things settle down. Feelings have been hurt and things have been said. I have to say that I'm very disappointed. Dae Lynn and Amy have decided to not be friends at the moment......mostly because Jason doesn't like Dae Lynn being around and having Amy's attention. They have always been best friends but I know that some men are threatened by family. This happens occasionally and it will heal over.

Well, Dae Lynn and Damon made an offer on a house and it was accepted!!! They are so excited!! It's right on the edge of town and we drive by it everytime we go to town......in fact a friend of ours lives there!!! It has almost 7 acres.....a pond......and a really nice trailer house that is rented out. In fact the trailer rents for $400 a month and their payments will be around $600 so they'll only be paying $200 of their own money to make payments!! It's too good of a deal to pass up!!! The house is an older home......but it has three bedrooms, two bath rooms, and a sun room!! She's not too excited about the sun room though because it's hot and cold. There's a lot of room for chickens, and their goats, and a garden plus room to spare!!

Today she's talking to the bank and getting her loan papers in. They haven't talked to Glen about it so that none of the kids can say that he is paying for it OR helping them out. He can honestly say that he didn't have anything to do with it. We had rumors go around when they looked at the last house and they came back to Jason......that we were buying the house for them. We don't know where it came from unless it was from the seller but Jason was pretty upset over it. He knew that we don't have the money to do that but it didn't make any difference he still complained. Good grief!! Anyway. the kids are being more careful about rumors and stuff this time. They're not telling hardly anyone until the house is theirs. I'm sure that they'll still have to deal with jealousy issues.

That's great news Diana and I'm so happy for them. I know they've been wanting their own place and now they have one.....all on their own. Let the others feel the shame thinking they couldnt do anything on their own and let Damon and Dae Lynn feel the joy! Tell Dae Lynn I'm so happy for her.

[DianaB]

Thank you, Janet. I'll let her know!!

On Sunday evening Damon quit chewing Skoal and every day this week he's been grumpier and grumpier. Today after I got home from garage sales Dae Lynn was on the phone with Damon. When she got off I could tell she was grouchy......she told me that she was going to town.....so I asked what she was going to do.......and she's going to go and buy Skoal for Damon!! I think that she's reached her limit with him trying to go off of the stuff!!! With all that's been going on she really doesn't need him to be grouchy!!!

[Janet]

I hope she doesn't buy it. If he was trying to get through it and she buys it, then he was a grouch for nothing...lol...if you know what I mean. It's the same when quitting smoking, you get kind of grouchy until you get over that hump and then it's okay again.
