More drama?

So yesterday afternoon more craziness happened. Goof was upset because the night prior we had gone to the grocery store. When we came back the dogs were out again, and no one was watching them. When he went onto the end of the driveway, Enabler came out, but it was too late her royal shithounds were doing their business on our lawn. So Goof says, "What's this?" Enabler responds back, "This is ridiculous, the dogs can't go out now?" and storms off. Now he is really mad, he doesn't respond back, it's not his way to argue with a woman walking away in the street. He comes in ranting 'this is ridiculous!' and grabs the photo he took a few months back of the shithound eating a diaper. He writes, 'this is ridiculous?' on the photo and puts it in her mail box. Yesterday afternoon, she gets her mail and sees this. She comes over while Stinky is at Eldest house. She accuses me of wasting my time notating her dogs transgressions. Telling me, 'You put grass over people.' Telling me, I am an unhappy person and she feels sorry for me. I tell her that it was not an issue of what her dogs were doing, but what she was not doing. She says her dogs were trained to come over to our lawn, that the previous owners would tempt the dogs over with treats. I responded that it was unlikely with what we know of the prior owners and how the man felt about his lawn. Also it's been over a year since they left, what does it matter now? She bitches why did we have to take pictures, why not tell her. Which I responded, that Goof did. He walked over to her house, to see her son laying on the driveway looking up at the sky talking on his cell phone. This was the week she was in NY. She exclaimed that was not likely. Whatever, I reminded her that it was about her dog charging me, and her response was, "He's never bit anyone." Which I bit back, "Does that make it any better?" Atleast she had the guts to admit it didn't. And she walked away.

Of course she also made Fred apologize to Eldest's mom for his mean comment about her weight. He had made a comment about how Eldest's mom was heavy and needed to lay off the Mickey D's cheeseburgers to Stinky, which made Stinky mad. Of course Stinky had to tell Eldest and that in turn make Eldest very upset and told his mom, and confronted Fred about it.

Eldest's mom told me that today Enabler came over to her house and apologized for his rude remark and gave her a hug and left, all in 30 seconds. She said Enabler cried. Wohoo, did Enabler finally realize that Fred is persona non grata? His brother is also.

I got mad at Stinky for playing with Big Red, and Catboy. Playing with them was fine, but Fred and Barney were there too, and that made me mad. He is to avoid them, yet he doesn't walk away when they show up. I don't care what the reasoning is. He's gonna have to avoid them, or knock their lights out if they don't stop causing trouble. As it was Barney threw Stinky's shoe in the bushes. His response when I told him to get the shoe was, "But I didn't put it anywhere." Putting and throwing are the same thing in my book. Get your lazy whiney ass over here and get the damned shoe!

I hate those kids. They are gonna turn out to be like their mother all trouble, and drug addictions. No structure to their sad lives gee counseling okay, but what about the home? This is the same behavior patterns that led their mother on the life she has now, in jail, out of jail, trying to get a fix, and getting back in jail. I know I'm being mean, but it's very likely the truth.

On a twisted bright side. Stinky and I are leaving very early Monday morning to fly out for the funeral. We'l be gone until Thursday evening so we will miss any problems, those two cause. Goof can't leave, too much at work, and no time available. He's gonna have Lucy and Mingy for company.

It's gonna be hard seeing Grandma. Right now I'm still not believing she's gone. I guess a delayed grief. I'm glad Mom is doing alright. I know that it was hard for her letting Grandma go, and seeing her heart still beating because of the pacemaker. We keep joking that she's gonna wake up and demand something else from us. The rights of the elders in the family to take what they want. It's gonna be hard on my 2nd uncle. He spent most of his adult life taking care of his parents. What will he do? Even though it was a thankless job, he did it out of love and respect. I worry about him. He was absolutely broken up when Grandpa died. I know my mom will forge on. She's the one that holds the family together. She will continue to be the peacemaker and caretaker of the family. When my mom goes, hopefully not for a very long time. I know that the family will split onto their own. 3rd uncle cares deeply for Mom. He admits that she was another mother to him, and he dotes on her.
