HOUSTON ... WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

I don't know how it came about, but Stew flipped the family room mat up and this is what he found:



ABOVE:  well bugger!  We are missing a small piece of the flooring!  Goodness knows WHERE that went!


No one is owning up to it either.  Kids or dogs?  Someone knows.  Just not me.


Oh well.. it will have to go into the 'not a priority' box for now.  


Today Stew is taking the afternoon off work so he can hire another trailer and take Lacy over to Henderson to meet up with the Housing NZ git who stood them up on Friday, to collect THE LAST of her stuff.  
I hope that will be the end of running around finding all her stuff.  


Then we can relax and just wait to see how long it's going to take for her to get her own place.  If she's still here when her baby is born... well at least I won't have to worry about her and the baby eh?


Looking for the positives.  


Another positive. The kids have not been affected in any way by Lacy being here at all.  They are well adjusted kids ... and Lacy has not gone 'over the top' in how she interacts with them.
She isn't a 'visitor' who pops in and fusses over them for an hour and then leaves any more.  Makes the relationship dynamics quite different.  


I am really happy with how well she has fitted in.... she has not trod on anyone's toes at all!
If she does, I'm sure we will stamp it out of her!  lol  


AND she has been paying as much as she can to cover the expenses we have incurred collecting all her furniture etc.  I'm quite proud of her for that.  Might just go give her a hug... she probably needs one.


Can't be nice having to leave a toxic relationship when you are pregnant and ending up on your own.  At least she does have us eh?


And before anyone feels the need to say it... yes she has made mistakes over and over again... but if we can give her a second chance (or 3rd or 4th...) well.... just don't knock her.   
She is trying to live a better life.


The kids go back to school today too.  This break has been quite long, but as we have been busy, it has flown by.  I might even miss them! Or not.  lol


ONWARD...


JOAN:  good god NO!!!  We will not be taking care of Lacy's baby.  She desperately wanted another child, and is determined to look after her baby herself.   When baby is born, I will help Lacy all I can, but I ain't being left with no new born baby ever again!
Gawd, I shudder at the thought! 


MARY :  Ahhh that is so funny!


*** PEPSI UPDATED *** PEPSI UPDATED *** PEPSI UPDATED ***


Ummm... You're BORED?  Well... let me help you with that:


ABOVE:  sorted.
I'm not nice, I know.  But, she ain't bored right now ...


♪ dumm ♪ dee ♪ doooo ♪...


Stew came home, picked up Lacy, then a hire trailer and went over to pick up THE LAST of her gear ... a Housing NZ bloke met them at the house.. and just our luck...  almost EVERYTHING was gone.  She only found her bedroom chest of drawers left.
So... that means she has NONE of the baby clothes/blankets/bottles etc that she had collected.
All the baby stuff I had bought for her... GONE.
And No bed either.


Not very happy now.


AND onward... we can give her one of our spare beds, and it won't take long to gather up essential baby clothes/nappies/blankets and so on ... I'm sure we have friends with a baby girl who can slip us a few bits 'n' bobs. And let's not forget the Hospice Shop!   I can buy more stuff there too.


So... it's not the end of the world.  Just another trailer hire for nothing.  *sigh*  You gotta laugh... or else you would stamp your feet!


Thank you TRACY, I will go through what she does have and let you know ... it's very kind of you to offer stuff to her.  


I have the BEST FRIENDS EVER!


LYNISE has just offered us all of her baby Annalia's stuff that she has outgrown!  AND a car capsule too!  OMG I can't get over how generous that is Lynise. THANK YOU.


LYNDA: thanks too!


End of Day: I find it facinating how over the course of a day we can go from OK... to annoyed and upset... to thrilled to bits!  Life eh?  Up's and down's.... and the down's make the up's so much nicer.  Thanks to everyone who has offered to help Lacy.  She really appreciates it.
ON TRACK: yep.... had a lovely dinner of beef and tomato homemade pie.
