- My brother-in-law has a job near my house now, and has been randomly living on our couch. The up side: I will get to see my neice and nephew more, thanks to an agreement I struck with their mama. (Transportation for the brother-in-law from work in exchange for baby time for me.) The down side: My brother-in-law has been IN. MY. HOUSE. I'm cleaning out the back bedroom so there will be a room for me to send him to when I get annoyed. LOL
- My father-in-law moved to town... for two whole days, approxmiately. Came to my house, made me unable to hate him (how can you hate anyone who is THAT pathetic? Douchebag!), told me how badly he wanted to move to Indiana and be close to his family again after being gone for NINETEEN YEARS... (Actually longer.... james is 24 and his dad walked out when he was 18 months old... 22 and a half years. Douchebag.)... and then decided to move to Texas. GOOD. FREAKING. RIDDANCE.
- My Christmas plans are proceeding decently. So far we have 4 people coming, possibly a fifth... and Kim is inviting some more friends of ours, since I'm sad that it will be so empty.
- My grandma is having renal failure... which makes me very very sad.
- Kim's grandma has been given 72 hours to live... that just makes me wanna cry. I remember the hours, waiting... sitting by the bedside, listening to every breath, wondering if it's the last... I don't envy Kim's mom at all right now.
- Jakey has been given meds for ADHD, and I am wishing I could steal some of them. The past few days my thoughts have been racing and I've been insanely hyper... talking crazy (no filter between my brain and my mouth... always a bad thing)... and without hardly any caffine! I actually cut the caffine BACK! (Yes, I plan to pay off my doctor ASAP and get some happy pills.) Jakey, however, is really benefiting from the medication, and I'm excited for him. I can't wait until he gets his first good behaviour award at school... I plan to take him out to eat, anywhere he wants to go, to celebrate.
- I am seeing my dad EVERYWHERE... all the men with white hair and beards remind me of him (except the ones dressed as Santa, cuz that's just creepy.) I miss him a lot during the holidays.
- My mother-in-law has learned how to forward e-mails. 22 deleted e-mails later... God help us all. *sigh*
- I've been feeling some holiday depression (probably due to missing my dad...) and would really like to remedy that with some good Christmas horror movies... any recommendations?
So that's what's going on in my family life. Stay tuned for the next update... The Craftz. Until then....
What's going on in YOUR family??

lol oh man sounds like you're having loads of fun there (not). Yes I am also praying for Kim and her family too.
So sad, so hard. Jana, my heart goes out to you.
I know of one true Christmas horror movie, Black Christmas. But I don't recommend it considering how you're feeling!
The holidays are such a hard, hard time. Hang in there!
My in-laws and the entire huge crew want to come here for a holiday I don't even celebrate...I'm going to have to say no. I'm going to look like such a Scrooge! But I can't handle it. And I'm OK with that.
in my house: honey and I went to the poconos for some snuggle time and everything else has been a tornado of no time. Daughter and grandson helped trim our tree yesterday while honey, as always, fretted over falling needles "already!!!" we have ornaments that we started collecting as a family in the mid 80s. daughter and grandson take theirs home yearly. I hang son's since he can't be with us and is only now getting stable enough to maybe send them to him sometime. Meanwhile, Im sending him a small fake tree and some handmade ornaments. today, hopefully, honey will make lollies as is his tradition and we will begin to work through 3 lbs of chocolate chips bought at BJ's. Work is done 12/23 and, unless I take a part-time with the bead place (I have been asked - oh, to be surrounded by my very addiction!) I will have 3 months off. Merry, happy! And aren't families a trip?! But we love them anyways, mostly. Sorry about your grandma.
Will be praying for Kim and her family. What horrible time.
May I suggest happy Christmas movies? Like the Santa Clause movies starring Tim Allen, The Year Without a Santa (one of my favs as a kid) Jack Frost, scratch that one, it will make you cry, it does it to me every time.
Hey girl, how you doing? I just stopped by to wish you and James a very Merry Christmas. I can't reccommend any Christmas horror movies cause I just don't do horror movies lol,We watched Fred Claus recently. It was pretty funny
Hang in there Jana!!
I tagged you for a fun meme if you find time and want to do it! :)
