Mischief Makers (officially open)

[Annisthyrienne]

Hi Maddy. I heard your date went well.

 

[Angeleyz]

*shivers at press of soft lips on her neck* Hey sweet pea... Maddy....

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Smiles sweetly at Thyri and nods. Well I'm glad you're feeling better, at least. Let me know if you just feel the need to talk about it with someone. I'm here for that much. He grins and lets her slip away as she goes over to kiss Angel on the back of her neck, and he retreats to the couch to stretch out his legs and glance outside at the view.

Hopefully everyone is having a pleasant day.

Hi Maddy. I heard your date went well.

Just the typical date... dinner and a movie... and dessert!

Lots and lots of dessert. *giggling*

Update: My day has been busy. Daughter turned 12 today so had bday party (darn girl is almost 5 inches taller than me darnit) and running around prepping for hubby's next trip... He's going to be gone for 6 weeks (well, we'll see him for 4 days over spring break).

*Waves at HF.* It's going much better than last night. I just got through with a little shooting that always helps relieve some stress. Last weekend was all about showing the kids how to shoot. This weekend it was my turn. I sighted in one of my pistols to pinpoint accuracy, and that's always satisfying.

Oh mannnn and I missed it!!!

*peeks in as she waits for swim practice to get finished*

hi everyone....

Thanks for my PM, Maddy... I need to review it when I'm not in such a public place...

Hey Trouble! *giving her a warm hug and a buss on the cheek*

Well then.. apparently our Whipped Creme discussion wasn't far out of line!

Always gotta save time for dessert! Chuckles.

 

[Angeleyz]

Hey Trouble! *giving her a warm hug and a buss on the cheek*

Hey, partner... *giving him a little squeeze and kiss of her own*

 

[missmaddy]

Well then.. apparently our Whipped Creme discussion wasn't far out of line!

LOL... As I recall there was some whipping and something creamy.

 

[Angeleyz]

LOL... As I recall there was some whipping and something creamy.

Ohhhh mannnnn *squirms* Don't say things like that....

 

[havinfun50]

LOL... As I recall there was some whipping and something creamy.

Very good!

 

[Annisthyrienne]

Doesn't mean I won't worry, sweet pea... Sweet dreams, though...

Goodnight Theri... Hope everything works out ok.

Hugs Thyri back quickly and gives her a squeeze.

I hope things improve, beautiful. Sorry that it's not as well as could be hoped.

Kisses her cheek before she slips off to bed.

Okay, so explanation time. let me see if my thoughts are anywhere near organized. You all have heard me talking about getting a bed for the little homeless boy of the two extra homeless kids I took in. Besides the money it cost which I could ill afford right now because of medical bills out my wazoo, I've also been working hard to clear out my spare room, get a dresser for him, curtains, sheets and blankets, everything he'd need to have his own room.

Well last night when Jullie came home (Jullie is is older sister who now has custody of him and his other sister) she was telling me about how her mother has been calling her and harassing her all day and all evening about how if the boy is made to sleep downstairs in the room I made up for him, even one night, she will come and get the kids and revoke the guardianship for Jullie and etc. She swears the boy is too afraid to sleep on his own and must be in the same room, if not the same bed as Jullie and her sister.

Now this woman is a chronic alcoholic, earns what little money she gets on her backside by whoring around, either that or selling her EBT benefits for cash at a discount, all so she can pay for a motel room day by day and buy booze. This is the same woman who woke us up early last Saturday with this emergency proclamation that she could no longer take care of her kids and could Jullie please take them to live with me.

Now she's trying to threaten Jullie with losing the kids if Jullie doesn't do things the mother's way. In addition, in driving the mother and father to where they were going to try to stay the night, Jullie managed to run the car off into the ditch and thinks she might have damaged something. She was also complaining about hurting her knee and ankle, whether from the car thing or not isn't clear. But her mother was trying to convince her to make a claim on my insurance so she could use the excuse to go to the doctor for other things. She has no medical insurance of her own.

Also, the mother was supposed to be getting herself into rehab to get sober and clean and try to get her life on track so she could take the kids back at some point and provide a life for them. Instead Jullie told me that she'd managed to not get into rehab and is blaming the father as to why. Supposedly he answered the phone when the rehab woman called back and said he didn't need rehab or something. The things I hear about this woman and her life drama are hardly accurate or factual most of the time. So I don't know what to believe.

When I moved into this house, I promised my niece she could live in the upstairs apartment. Then Jullie came along and moved in with us when the mother began hitting on her and getting drunk and driving off leaving her places. far from where they were staying. So my niece had to give up a little space for Jullie to have a room. No worries; they were best friends. But now the kids are living up there too, and if the boy cannot sleep downstairs in the extra room, one solution is to ask my niece to give up her apartment altogether and settle for a small bedroom. I don't think this is fair to her.

We had a family meeting today to discuss options. At this point, I am still insisting that the boy at least try sleeping downstairs one night. He claims he is not afraid and doesn't mind doing so, but it's the mother who is raising a big stink about it.

So that was what was upsetting me last night. Just too much bad news at once, and much of it the fault of this wreck of a woman. I really care for these kids, but I hate the idea of my life being tied up in influence of hers.

 

[missmaddy]

Big hug Thyri... life is so unfair sometimes.

 

[Angeleyz]

*squeezes Thyri's hand*

Thank you for taking the time to explain, sweet pea... You might have mentioned before, but how old are the kids?

 

[Annisthyrienne]

*Hugs* Thanks, Maddy.

Angel, the little boy is 9, the middle sister is 14, and Jullie is 19.

 

[Angeleyz]

Certainly old enough to know whether or not he could handle sleeping alone. Besides the girls need their privacy if he can handle it.

How did the mother find out anyway?

 

[Annisthyrienne]

Jullie went to pick the mother and father up to take them to where they would be staying next because the hotel room that she paid for was up. She brought them back here to the house for a few minutes to say good bye to the kids and that's when they came inside and saw the room I was preparing for him. All that is lacking is taking a few boxes of things up to the attic, and the room is ready for him. I told him a little while ago that nobody is going to force him to sleep downstairs if he is afraid, but that I'd like him to try it one night when he is ready, and see how it goes. Then, if he doesn't want to be away from his sisters, we'll work something else out.

 

[Angeleyz]

Ahhh, okay. Will cross my fingers that it all works out.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

On a positive note, I managed to get a post written for the role play story.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Smiles and gives Thyri a hug. Man, that's a quite a load of issues to deal with for a family that was practically dumped on you. And you're such a sweetheart for doing all of this.

He grins. Also good that you got some time to work on your roleplay.

*Cuddles in his arms.* Thanks Noon. I have had the time to work on it, but the words just wouldn't flow very well until this morning. I don't know, maybe frustration is some sort of muse for me.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

He smiles and pulls her tight, giving her a quick, warm kiss on her forehead and allowing her to snuggle up against him. Well, it isn't for me, but sometimes the need to escape makes it easier to immerse yourself into something else.

He nods and lightly strokes her back. Thanks for sharing. I'm just happy to know what's going on with you. It's stressful, but I think it's something that can be worked out, fortunately.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

*kisses his cheek* That actually makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'll try to take advantage of stress more often and get caught up on all the stories I owe for.

I had my concerns about taking on two more children. Jullie is one thing. She's a great girl. Very responsible and mature. She's working full time, even though she's only making minimum wage. And she's been the one to take care of the kids when their mother was too drunk to do it, even before she moved in with me. She's more responsible and mature at 19 than the mother is at 40 something.

But if I can provide the stability of a decent home where they don't have to change schools 6 times a year, maybe things will work out for them.


It sure got quiet. I didn't mean to kill the mood with all of this. Maybe we should talk about Maddy's sex life some more.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Sorry, having to step away for a bit because of dinner. You didn't deflate the room or anything like that. I think it's just timing.

Grins and then slips over to the couch and plops down. You could come sit with me if you like.
