I need some sugar

Does anyone out there want to disown their family or is it just me? Nothing is ever simple where my family is concerned. My grandfather called seven times yesterday. I was at the game, so my phone was on silent. I called him back, hoping to avoid him yelling at me again, worried what he wanted this time. He wanted to apologize, in his own way.

Now he wants to help me fix up the house so that when he gives it to me, it won't need tons of repairs. I just sat and listened silently as I have been down this road before in the past five months.

He said he talked to Erik and that he understood about the house. "It is your house Papa. You do what you want with it." A total 180 from his last call to our grandfather. I am suspicious of his motives. He scares me a little.

So now I am not buying the house yet, but I am fixing it up to buy it? I just don't get anything lately. This has been the most stressful week. I am pretty sure I have scared Jeff away too. He was here for the meltdown and all.

What do you do when your lemonade is comprised solely of lemons? Get a bigger bag of sugar. I am buying mine by the truck full! I am not going to be beat down by silliness. Today is a new day. I am going to have an out-in-the-sunshine-skip-in-the-park-take-my-kid-to-the-batting-cages-day! Right now he is singing (off key as usual) about a melody in his head. It makes me laugh.
