living and learning?

Well, haven't written here in soooo long. The house we were remodeling lost the funding last October when banks were pulling up stakes on the little guys and we being some of the littlest lost our contract to finish the home. The owner showed up one day and informed us that she was out of money and we were done.....Since we were living in the home at the time, she wanted us to move, by the next weekend!!! one and one half weeks before Thanksgiving. Suffice to say, we were not out by Christmas, having copped an attitude of, well you can figure that out. Fine, EXPLANATION: we didn't have any other work, no place to go in a week and we were supposed to be living in that home for a minimum of five years, till the place was finished and then reduced rent till the two homes we were to build on the front half of the property were complete. Now, we need to move in no time so this womans non-building Son could finish? Where was he when we tore all the icky stuff out and replaced all the drywall, flooring, walls, added rooms, enlarged the first bathroom by 10 feet, tore out the tile for that and placed the two ton beam so we could enlarge the kitchen? etc., he was waiting in the wings to take over when the building was easier in his mind....yet. There was and is still so much to do that he could never handle. The kitchen was never finished, all the mold and such is gone but the kitchen remains as is...we were living in the mess to remodel such a large home but we were doing so by knowing all would be well soon. So much for that! Anyway, the son decided we cost too much and he could do it cheaper by quitting his job in Idaho, marrying his girlfriend and moving back home......though his parents had been subsidizing his existence so far and the DAD was tired of it, the Mom( as most Moms tend to do) was in favor of supporting the boy and allowing him to be a jerk.( so say my daughters!!) The very sad part of this whole scenario is that the DAD died from complications of DIABETES in the middle of November.
So, here we are, a family of four two legged in residence with our pets numbering 7 four footers, 2 winged and 2 finned, plus the veggie garden and the flowers we nurtured.... trying to figure out where we are to go on such short notice with the HOLIDAYS coming. GOD!!! Now what. We stayed and fought. She has lost so far.
Now, I am in North Carolina at this time since our son-in-law was deployed to Kuwait in January and the oldest daughter has two girls, aged at 3 and 2,and she is trying to go to school she is and cannot afford daycare, I was ELECTED to move here for a year and resume a life I thought over, namely raising babies. At least not from scratch this time!!! So, there is more, such as my husband and I apparently losing the war of this stressful time and breaking off our 28 yr relationship. Sucks, that part. the rest can be. I miss my husband.
