Life with Nada...

[Guest guest]

OK, you guys know Nada is living with me right now. ARGGHHHH I'M LOSING

IT!!! First of all, when I agreed for her to move in, it was for a couple of

weeks. So she moved up here from out of state, arrives and that DAY says she

thinks she'll stay through the holidays. OMG..That was in July. I'm sure you

can imagine the insanity, but these past couple of weeks, due to Christmas,

I'm sure, were really bad.

First off, you should know, when she arrived she said she'd pay us 200 a

month in rent, bills, groceries, ect. She paid August. Paid September. In

October, she used what I call " Nada-math " to write off that month, and November

and December didn't even bother. Of course, when I bring it up, she says,

" Well, you said I din't *have* to pay. " Yeah, b/c I told her to save her money

for her own damn place!! Instead, she spent over $2000 on CHRISTMAS!!! I'm

not kidding, I about DIED when I saw what she had done!! In addition to the

2 grand, she's paying next month to get my brother's college bills paid up

so he can start clinicals next semester, and getting NFL season tickets (well,

the down payment at least). She says the down payment for the tix is only

100 bucks. She must really think I'm stupid, we had those tickets last year.

Now, in my lease, it says our family plus two dogs, right? For some reason,

she doesn't think having her move in and *her* two freakin dogs is a

problem. Besides the fact that I've had to go to a more expensive dogfood (one

of

them had a GI bleed when she got here, don't ask me how, I doubt I want to

know, but she's better now) and have to deal with their spoiled rotten selves

not only causing havoc, but any training my dogs had is out the window now, she

refuses to put them on a leash. We live in the MIDDLE of a city. Not the

suburbs, not the outskirts, the freakin middle. You can see downtown. And,

yes, there are leash laws. Of course, she won't put the damn dogs on leashes,

just lets them outside by themselves to go in all the neighbor's yards and

such. So the other night after she left for work, the neighbors on both sides

started complaining. Bitterly. So I call her and tell her from now on,

they WILL be on leashes We simply can't afford to get kicked out for something

so utterly stupid. Of course, she screams at me why are you telling me this

on my way to work (like her job's so freakin' stressful, she works nights and

sleeps most of the night) and I hung up on her. She was much better behaved

in the morning, even bought us breakfast. This was Christmas Eve.

Oh, and last Friday, we were short on cash, so I had to borrow some money

from her for groceries. $80 for a week of 5 people and 4 dogs, including what

we needed for Christmas dinner, I think that's pretty damn good. You

would've thought I bought half the freaking store, the way she acted.

HELLO!!???

She eats too!!!

Christmas night, we go over to my brother's house for dinner and cards. Of

course, her and the Golden Child get rip roaring drunk, and she gets more

obnoxious than usual. Oh, and she can't stand his live in girlfriend. I mean

can't STAND her. So she has this long talk a couple of months ago with the

Golden One, and for some reason, now she thinks he's " reeled T in. " HA She

can't see that T acts the EXACT same way she's always acted, nothing's changed,

just Nada thinking someone payed a damn bit of attention to anything she had

to say. The Golden Child didn't talk to his girlfriend, it's all in her

head. INSANE!!!

Things have been relitivally quiet the past couple of days, the usual crap,

but nothing too bad. Yesterday she deposited $400 into her acct.. She was

alread overdrawn, but that left quite a bit in there. I asked her if I could

use her card and run to Mc's for the kids, they hadn't eaten yet. She

said ok, and on the way out, I shouted that I'm taking her car too, b/c DH

has my keys by mistake. No problem. Get there, run through drive through, get

back, send my daughter in to give her her keys and card and say thanks, and

she FREAKS, and I mean FREAKS. Apparently, I didn't ask for her " debit

card, " I asked for her " debit car, " whatever the hell that is. <<rolls eyes>>

So she storms out of the house, and I mean screaming like a two year old. I

have enough kids to raise, thank you very much... That woman really thinks

the world revolves around her. Never mind that our lives have been turned

upside down for the THIRD TIME (I know, I know, you'd think I'd learn... it's

that damned FOG, I'm workin on it), WITHOUT any payment, instead, her telling

everyone that I somehow owe HER money! Nevermind that the kids (who are 5 and

4, btw) have to keep silent all day so that she can sleep because some genius

took a night job, nevermind that she causes problems in my marriage and

KNOWS it, and that we're trying to move out of state because of HER... And she

KNOWS all of this. Somehow, she still thinks that there is NO WAY that

someone couldn't POSSIBLY want her highness in thier house, I mean, who

WOULDN'T

want to live with her?? <<bangs head against brick wall>>

On top of all of this, my daughter has begun to mimic her, I mean, to the

letter. Talk about emeshment. It's freaky, the things that will come out of

her mouth. And, of course, it's directed at yours truely. Apparently,

somewhere along the line, Grammy has told her that Grammy's in charge, not

Mommy.

OOOHHH YEAH that's going over well. But, really, why should DD respect me

when Grammy doesn't?? And Nada SERIOUSLY believes that if anything happens to

us, SHE'S getting the kids. HAHAHAHA No. I don't think so.

OK, I'm starting to ramble. If I had the cash, I'd go downtown right now

and start eviction proceedings. (She won't leave without an eviction, don't

ask me why. Just to make my life difficult.) I'm not mad, I'm just tired of

living with the insanity!
