Dad's here!! He got here about an hour after the mall opened and helped me out the whole day. I was able to show him all the ropes about the calendar kiosk and teach him to use the register so tomorrow I don't think I'm going to go in until later and then I probably won't even stay that long. (Thank goodness because I really don't think my body could take much more. My shoes hardly even go on my feet anymore and the other day I had a couple/few contractions. Nothing too serious, most likely just Braxton Hicks, but still. It's probably a good thing I'll be able to take it a little slower for a while. I'd rather keep the baby inside until he/she has the opporunity to grow a bit more.)

You take care of my baby, and my baby's baby. We all want little Libby Anne to be big and healthy when she shows up.

Hey Shan!! Hope your trip is going great. It had been awhile since I'd read your blog and was taken back by the name change! Wishing you the best with the business and baby! I've got you on my blogroll on my website, www.hischildren.wordpress.com, so I'll stay up-to-date a little more often now! Take care!

I hope you guys had a good thanksgiving.

We just got back to California.

Thanks for offering us the house. We just basically took the foam out of the hide-a-bed and took some of the sheets you laid out for us and we schlepped some stuff over to the Condo and stayed there. It was great!

We aren't fancy folk, we just needed something to use to sleep on the floor and we were happy as clams at the condo. The sheets and pillows made that infinitely more comfortable.

As for inviting Hurold, I did ask mom and she said it was OK. I asked her because you guys weren't gonna be back and I figured you guys probably aren't paying rent anyway.

I was also told both the front (Very mature weeds) and the back yard (Absolute Jungle) looked abandoned. I figured It would only be a matter of time before someone figured out the house was empty, broke in and stole all your stuff. It's probably a good thing that the house shows some activity, even if it is only for a week.

Maybe I was incorrect, because I also assumed that you weren't coming back to Arizona anyway.

Anyone who is almost ready to pop, yet would turn down potential job offers for her husband in Phoenix to go to (middle of nowhere) Texas, where they don't have a doctor, a or a place to stay, or anyone they know around, probably isn't interested in sticking around much longer. (Not to mention the fact that you put up a blog complaining about Arizona since the first day you got here.)

That Texas move just doesn't make much sense otherwise.

Once Jariah decided to move back I figured it was basically a done deal. If Zion hadn't caught on yet, I'm guessing he probably has by now.

I figured you guys would probably only be back long enough to pick up your stuff and vamoose. It's not like you have been keeping your motives and intentions secret or anything. You want to get out of Arizona at all costs.

Am I right?

yea that is kinda like me saying that i have a friend coming to stockton while your in tucson and i told him he could stay at your house. Do not worry he is my great uncle so it is not like he is a stanger, do not worry i am assuming you are not paying your house payment right now anyway. As a matter of fact i dont know that if it is any of my business if your paying your house payment or not. Yet i still dont think i should offer your house to my friend or uncle call me a crazy dumb redneck but at least i respect others privacy.

Israel said...

If that happened Justin, I would just say "No."

Zion also had the opportunity to say "No" and he decided not to say "No."

If Zion felt that strongly about Hurold staying there he would have put the kibosh on it.

So I think maybe it's time for everyone else to stop the belly-aching, huh?

justin h said...

your the one that keeps bringing it up and if zion didnt make you feel totally comfortable with the whole thing why would you have asked your mom if it was alright, and then says since they probably werent paying rent.

Israel said...

It has nothing to do with Zion. It has to do with Jeshanah's attempted complaining / guilt-tripping.

I'd ask my mom no matter what, because it is her house.

Honestly I never thought it would be an issue because Hurold is very close family, because he's handicapped and because it is only a week and because it is only him and his wife.

It isn't like he is only some great uncle that no one knows, we grew up literally across the street from him until third grade and his mom fed us all the time. We lived together in college and after college.

I was shocked when Jeshanah claimed that Zion didn't even remember him.

Jeshanah said...

We are paying rent... you know what they say about people who assume things. We are under contract through December and it is OUR home right now... it's your mom's house, but it's our home.

Zion DID say no, several times and loudly, (I was standing right beside him when you announced to him that you had taken it upon yourself to invite someone to stay there in our absence...) and that when he invited YOU he didn't mean that it was suddenly YOUR house to invite whomever you wanted to invite to stay. Whatever, it's your pea-sized lawyer brain that only hears what you want to hear. It's fine.

Israel said...

What a bunch of Baloney.

Maybe you said no, several times and loudly but Zion didn't.

If he was screaming NO! so loudly they why did he change his mind so quickly in the same conversation?

He must be the world's biggest wimp or I must be some kind of mind-bending genius, huh?

Revisionist history is a wonderful thing.

And I'm glad you are paying rent and living up to your contract. I'm proud of you guys, you've come a long way.

Have fun in Ohio.

Jeshanah said...

We have ALWAYS payed our rent. And we have lived up to every contract we have ever signed, except the one we broke with Pusch Ridge to move into your condo.

We're plenty grown up, when are you going to?

Israel said...

Note the caveat "ever signed" which does not include oral promises made to people who relied on them.

Are you sure you're not related to Bill Clinton? Cuz you just did him proud.

Sharla said...

I would say that depends on what you think the meaning of "related" is is!
