Hey, Brat, Well, let's see...hmmm....We were visited by so much vermin, I thought it was like having

five of the seven Plagues of Egypt. Mice, Hornets, Raccoons, Skunks, and Frogs. Yup, very interesting. LOL Also, had a bed that felt like a bag of rocks until I bought a couple of egg crate pads for it. But, the view was worth it all. We had a view of a little river where it cuts through some

evergreens, into a sand dune and out to the Pacific. Just gorgeous! Had that view from the deck,

the hot tub, the front room and the kitchen. Unbelievable. Ate good fish, salmon and red snapper,

crab and shrimp. Funny I didn't come back looking like a fish. LOL

Saw my good friends, had a couple of meals with them, went to all our secret places and favorite

spots. This will have to hold us for a while, so we did more than usual. I got too much sun, because

there were only two foggy days all week.

Then, driving back it got hotter and hotter the closer we got to home, and the sun just wouldn't give

me a break. No matter what we did, it got me, so I have some new lesions on my legs and arms.

A few on my head, too. Wah. Then, today, I had an appointment for the van to have it's annual

checkup at AAA, and to be smogged. It was 92 at 10 a.m., full sun, no escape. Did all the stuff

we're supposed to, but I have another new lesion on my arm...so all that running around was too

much. Not feeling good at all tonight, and Randy has a Scout meeting, so have to take him over

there. He can probably get a ride home, though, so that is a break.

I'll write more later. Gotta go. Love you. Oh, and how is Mike doing and how is Deanna holding up?

I'm worried about them. Hugs, MM

[Guest guest]

Hi you, I was out doing some grocery shopping. Believe it or not, eggs are more than $2.25 a doz.

here, so was looking for a cheaper price. Found out if I go to this certain store, buy five dozen at

a time, it runs about 1.75 a doz. Still outrageous, but more tolerable. Also, low fat milk, is over

$3 a gal. Ick. I am feeling pretty good, for me. Back pain today, but the weather is changing, it's

very cold for our area so early in the season, and humidity is high with threat of rain. Normi says it

never got to two digits there yesterday. Ick.

My Reesey, 11, came home at 8 p.m. with more than 15 lbs. of candy from a two hour trick or treat

run. Good grief. I make the boys bring everything home so I can inspect it before they can have it.

A lot of grumping about that, but I told Reesey that if he couldn't spare the opened or broken pieces,

he was too greedy to live. LOL We inspected it all, separated it into tins, and even after taking out

any suspicious pieces of stuff, he had over 12 lbs. More than two thirds was chocolate. Ick, ick, ick.

aI love the stuff, and am not supposed to have it, so will have to lock this stuff up and give the key

to Reesey. He can be trusted to just have his limit each day, but I can't.

Randy went with a friend and her dad to a party on the other side of town, and will be home late.

He's been acting out lately, but part of it is that he is needing firm discipline, and with me so sick

last month, he wasn't getting my usual brand of attention. He ran away last night for about two hours, worried his little brother half to death, and finally called home to ask if it was ok for him to

come back. He got pretty cold and hungry. I figured he'd be home soon, and if not, I knew he'd

snuck back into his room to leave a window unlocked so he could get in later. He is being your basic

pushy teenager with ADD overtones. Ah, the joys of motherhood.

Well, that's about it. Got a lot to tell about my sister, daughter, and a baby shower for a niece, but

I'm too tired tonight to go into all that. Suffice it to say, my sister did it again, it was about my

daughter and her kids, and it happened at a baby shower. I'll explain later. Hope you are feeling

better than last week. Love, MM

[Guest guest]

Wow, that's alot of candy! He'll be happy for awhile with that much!

Your sister is meddling again is she?! Are you all going to do the mother daughter shopping thing this year?

Yea, I'm feeling better. I can get out of bed and not say ouch! That's a great start! I'm still stiff, but that's better than the pain I was having.

Hey, Brat, Well, let's put it this way, my sister is refusing to get the point, and tried once more to

have an "accidental" meeting between me and my daughter's family. Last Saturday afternoon, as I

said, after telling Sis that I would not attend the shower if Karla wanted to go to it, and being strongly

reassured that Karla had not RSVP'd on the invitation, so "even if she did RSVP, she would be asked

to come another day", I agreed to attend. As I drove up to the place, there was Karla with both

kids standing by the door talking to my sister. Oh yeah! So, I started to back out of the lot, and was

going to go home, when my sister comes bounding up to the car, yells that "they are just leaving,

and you can get out and say hello, can't you? They just dropped a gift by is all." I said, "No, I can't

get out and say hello, I'm not supposed to have any contact with Karla's kids." Sis gives me the dirty

look of the year, and I say I'll just leave so they can stay, and Sis says, no they are leaving. So, I

pull in and park, and wait for them to leave. Twenty minutes later, after a long, whispered conversa-

tion between Karla and Sis, Karla and kids leave and I go into the place with my shower gift.

I didn't talk to anyone about what happened, preferring to ignore it and not spoil the party. It was

too damned hot to argue with Sis, anyway. LOL The party was fine, except for the heat, and when I

got ready to leave, Sis said she would load up the folding chairs she had borrowed from me for the

party. So, I opened up the hatch on the van and stood in the parking lot while the chairs were loaded

up. THEN, as soon as we were alone, Sis started in with, "Hey, have you started Randy in any therapy, or counseling, yet?" I asked what for? She says, "Well, you know all that with Louise

and Karla, and all. Shouldn't he be getting some help?" I came unglued to say the least. I said, "WHAT FOR? RANDY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! KARLA LIED TO THE POLICE BY LEAVING OUT THE TRUTH AND LETTING THEM THINK RANDY COULD BE GUILTY OF MOLESTING HER DAUGHTER, BUT WE

CAN ACCOUNT FOR EVERY MINUTE OF RANDY'S TIME WHEN ANNA SAYS HE WAS 'AT HER HOUSE

DOING THINGS TO HER EVERY DAY'". "IN ADDITION TO THAT, I DON'T APPRECIATE THESE 'ACCIDEN-

TAL' MEETINGS PEOPLE KEEP TRYING TO PULL OFF."

I then went into the whole thing again, explaining exactly what did and didn't happen between my

kids and my grandaughter, and that it was Karla, herself, who called me all upset that the cops and

her social worker had told her we couldn't have any contact between the families because if

made any more accusations, whether they were true or not, that family member would be put in the

pokey until the investigation was conducted unless we could afford to post bail...which I sure can't

afford to do. I had tried to tell Karla that what the cops told her couldn't be true, but she insisted I

call them directly and get it verified. So, I did. Sure enough, that is what they told me, too. Now,

Sis thinks I made the whole thing up, that Karla is a poor, downtrodden victim, and that I am the

meanest person this side of the Pecos, and no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince her

otherwise. I thought that by this time she would have gotten the message, but evidently not.

Anyway, I ended up in hysterics, weeping and sick, and told her I couldn't talk about it any more,

it was already breaking my heart and she wasn't helping a bit. That Karla had lied by omission, when

she let them think my Randy could be capable of such actions because she didn't want to tell the

authorities that she was leaving her daughter alone with her daddy for hours on end, a man who was

a registered sex offender who had gone to prison for two years + for raping an underage girl. Yeah,

this was the man Karla chose to father her children, and with whom she wanted to build a family,

so she said. Anyway, to make a long story shorter, their living arrangements were horrible, with

Karla and the bastard sharing a double bed on the bottom of a bunk bed, and the daughter in the top

bunk. When acted out, sexually, at her day care, she told the babysitter that it "...is ok, 'cause

my Mommy and Daddy do this all the time." Oh yeah. told the doctor, cops and social workers

that her Uncle Randy "did it to her all the time at her own house". Now, to my certain knowledge,

the only person at her own house every day for hours on end was her own daddy. How sick is that?

I believe he rehearsed her in blaming his own actions on Randy so that he wouldn't be suspected.

Sick bastard.

Anyway, I have followed the authorities' advice and kept away from Karla's family, and kept the

boys away, too. I have to, to protect my boys. I told my sister I would never have told anyone what

Karla had done if it wasn't my desire to save them from the same kind of false accusations. They,

especially Sis tell me that Karla was just trying to protect her child. I said, "Oh, right, and that's why

she let her little girl stay every day at home alone with a registered sex offender, slept in the same

bed with him as her little girl, and sacrificed her family so that bum wouldn't be put back in prison."

"Yeah, she was trying to protect her child, alright. NOT."

Anyway, I left in tears, cried all the way home, and had to wash my face and make myself halfway

presentable before picking up my youngest son at his friend's house. Randy, luckily, was away on a

scouting weekend campout. Otherwise, the boys would have been all upset, too. I think it's even

harder for them to bear this separation from their sister than it is for me.

Anyway, that's the details of what happened last Saturday, and that's why I was sick most of the

first part of this week. Am better today, in spite of the cold, damp weather.

I am glad you are up and about, even if you aren't all the way back to yourself, and tickled to death

that you finally got your new 'puter. Such a deal! Gotta go so my son can call his friend. Love you,

MM

[Guest guest]

Bratty Poo, Yup. My sister does need her butt kicked, but I'm not in any shape to do it. LOL Some

time, some day, some way she will get hers. I believe what goes around comes around, and that is

the truth. So there! heheheheh. And, What does Deanna mean, you should be a blonde? And,

what did she say? She's "off for now"? She's always "off". Geez. Love, MM

[Guest guest]

It's too bad Karla has made the situation the way it is. But you do have to protect your son. Where is her boyfriend now? I think you said before they were no longer together.

Your sister needs her butt kicked to get you upset like that. She should know by now what the whole situation does to you.

Hey, Barb, I'm game if you guys are. LOL Really, I think my sister's action are misguided more than

malevolent, but they hurt just the same, I'm afraid.

I've been remembering some things from my childhood, and remember when we were all talking about Lupus running families? Ya think maybe my sister has brain fog? That is certainly a more

charitable way to look at her personality of denial, isn't it? Teehee.

Thanks for all your support, guys, I really needed it last week. Love and hugs, MM
