I have so much cleaning/putting away/errands to run before my parents get here. And I have to go out to the UPS facility tomorrow because UPS can't deliver at reasonable times. (Srsly, they said between 2 and 5, which I might squeak in if it is a late delivery. They came at 12:30. Um.) And the pet/housesitting is coming and will see the place in disarray. And must gas up the car. And figure out long term parking at Dulles. And andandANDAND.
And I've spent all week dealing with crazy teams who seem to fail to understand that once I leave, my backups, while good, aren't me, and don't know the full scope, which is why I've been setting up things ahead of time.
AND I will be missing the astronaut visit! WOE!!!!
And now my brother had made me need brain bleach: a photo of him in a very tight wrestling jumper and a straw hat.
This is why we can't embarrass him with naked baby pictures.
Just spoke to my nephew. He smoothed things over with the hotel. They are not getting thrown out and the rent is paid. It's actually a condo-type hotel and he said he's got a job to pay for getting the car fixed.
Crazy Baby Mama is going to try to stop stripping and they're trying to rent a place down there and enroll the child in preschool this fall.
I'll believe that when I see it but I'm satisfied she's safe for now. Poor kid can't help it she was born to complete fucking idiots.
Timelies all!
Took G's mom out to dinner for her birthday. Good food.
Ugh, Cashmere. I have to confess, I'm not sure that when you've run out of money is the time to
stop
stripping.

That was my first thought.
How did they go from utter crisis disaster this afternoon, to he's got a job and she's going to get a real job and everything's cool now, a few hours later?
Cash, sounds like at least it is steps. Though I echo Jesse's concern. But if it'll help her get it together...
I went in on a betting pool. Never done one before. But it is what version of quick fixes we'll get to before we can do the next official build. A month in, we're at f. I picked u. Hey, I could win $40 for my cynicism!
Yeah, that's what I am wondering, ZK!

Well, I suspect, from my conversation with my sister, that the couple were fighting (not uncommon) and he threatened to leave--hence his need to call his mother for money. I only take half of what he says for the truth and but I have to believe that the situation is not serious enough that CPS would remove the child from their care.

If it were just the stripping, I'd say for her to keep doing it as long as she has the body and can put up with it for the money. But she started using drugs to deal with stripping and now she's a druggie, too. AND she brings home total strangers from the clubs to party with and brings who-knows-what kind of people in contact with my great-niece. People who have stolen money and drugs from them and gotten into fights with them resulting in them getting arrested.
It's a dangerous, precarious lifestyle they lead. And while it's godawful for that baby, there isn't enough immediate danger for the law to remove her so we have to suck it up and deal.
He did say they were staying in the same hotel room, so that is something I can follow up on and check out. Which I will. Tomorrow and the next day to be sure they're still there. And he put some minutes on his cell phone and gave me the number so I can track him, too.
I'll just have to follow up for my own piece of mind and see how this little drama plays out.
ION, I seem to have become addicted to McDonald's sweet tea. I think they sweeten it with crack.
