update

so neighbor called today.
in the midst of rattling off a few things she wanted to gripe about i hear " so i guess i'll get with you tomorrow or tuesday and we can figure out a schedule for the dogs."
here we go.
"when do you think y'all will be leaving?"
"friday probably"
"i won't be home then"
silence
"remember? i'm going out of town. i won't be here starting thursday.i told you this yesterday morning"
some mumbling about figuring something out when she can think about it and then,
"maybe i'll ask wonderful neighbor."
yes, ask wonderful neighbor who is recovering from surgery and has the 4 kids, one of which is still a baby, the oldest of which is only 4 and 2 toddlers in between!
i know she chose to have that many kids that close together and she's alot better at sucking up and dealing with interferences than i am, but i go out of my way to not ask that set of neighbors for anything unless it is absolutely necessary.
now i feel guilty for not changing my plans if she's involving wonderful neighbor in her madness.they have 100x more stuff going on than i do and i feel like it's just more than they need to deal with at this point. it's not like neighbor lady has no other friends. she's gotten someone to watch her pets before when i couldn't do it. what about them?
they're planning on staying up there for at least a week if not 2. her kid is pitching a fit b/c he had his whole thanksgiving holiday planned out. yeah. over the tv. all the holiday specials he wanted to watch he's going to miss so he doesn't want to go.
it's going to be TJ's first weekend home over thanksgiving. i'd like to be able to see him some while he's in our house.i won't have seen him in 4 weeks by the time he gets here and it would be nice not to have to share all of him with my already divided time or other members of the family.

she just seems to be thinking that someone is going to drop what they're doing and say "oh you poor dear! here, let me drop all of my plans and help you."

maybe i'm being selfish. but at this point i think it's aloud. it's not like i sit on couch and eat chocolate all day.being pregnant is excuse enough to take on any more things to do than i already have.( i know. i don't milk that card on a regular occassion. but this is an irritating situation) i kind of feel like she thinks i should make myself available to help her out when they've known this was coming for a couple of weeks. the grama would just have a few bad days and then start doing better so i guess they thought this was the same.
she even called this morning and asked me to take her back to the store
(where we were yesterday) so she could get those clothes she picked out so her kid would have something to wear to the funeral. only her husband woudln't let her buy them so she ended up with nothing.i told her no. i wasn't feeling like going out. (yesterday day we were out a couple of times) so she went out with another friend(see?she has them stashed somewhere) and picked the outfit up and some things for her, and her husband threw a fit that she spent the money on them. are they supposed to wear sweats then? and what's he gunna do when it comes time to buy the plane tickets? i'm glad i won't be around to see that blow up in his face.

hopefully it won't turn out to be as big of a mess as i'm making it sound like.
maybe tomorrow i'll have something more interesting to blog about. right now this is all i've got.
hope it's as entertaining for you as it is for me.
