Here Today, Gone Tomorrow.

I guess I didn’t have to worry about houseguests for long. I don’t think so, at least.
Andrea left with the kids to pay a traffic ticket on Friday and hasn’t been back since.
She called and left a message on Friday afternoon (I was puking - side effect of more Topamax - puking! Great.) saying that she was at the couple’s house in which she used to live (?!), calling about some apartments, and that she’d be home at about eight.
Eight came and went. No Andrea. We didn’t know whether we should wait up, or leave the front door unlocked, or what. Finally we went to bed with the front door unlocked like stupid, stupid people, assuming that maybe she was coming home late.
On Saturday I called the couple she used to live with because I was concerned. “This is why she doesn’t live here any more, and now she’s doing it to you, too, ” was the answer I got.
I figured she’d probably taken off with her boyfriend for the weekend, though how she’d achieved this feat with two small kids in tow I didn’t really wish to know. I assumed she’d come home Sunday night.
Nope.
A lot of her stuff is here, and the kids’ stuff, too. My brother is busting his ass to get her a job at Target and she is now unreachable for an interview.
I have no idea what the hell she’s up to.
So that’s that. My mom is pretty irritated, and my stepdad is somewhere past boiling. As far as I’m concerned she’s a grown woman and she’s obviously found someplace else to stay that involves her boyfriend and simply didn’t feel the need to tell us. I think she’s inconsiderate, but she’s the one who’s going to have to pay for her poor choices.
Life has gone back to “normal” in the Trance household. If she shows up here now, I’m not sure what I’m going to do or say.
In other news, I have a doctor’s appointment of some sort every single day this week and that just isn’t right.
Happy Monday.

I hope that she and the kids are alright! But, I am sure that they are, and maybe she’s being ‘herself’ again. It royally sucks that she has been allowed to behave like this and has no sense of adultdom. You are older and sick so you should have quiet time. And, you’re right: J-Man is 10; you’re done with small children, lol.

Wow. How weird. Sad, too that the kids are sort of yanked around here and there. Doesn’t sound too stable. But, ultimately not your problem. Doctors appt. every single day?!! Make sure to treat yourself to something nice this week, cuz that sucks mightily.

Hey, maybe you can put her stuff up on ebay or have a yard sale. Make some money off it. Since she’s not around anymore. (heartless bitch, aren’t I?)

Hiya sweetie !
I agree with SooBoo that since you are stuck with a weeks worth of sitting in the waiting room of the doctors offices reading 3 year old AARP magazines, that you should treat yourself to a little something special. God knows you certainly deserve it Jen. Your sister sounds like a wonderful example for her children…*cough* It’s a damn shame that children are involved in all of this, but at least they have you and your immediate family to give them a bit of loving guidance.
I’m really sorry to hear about the increase in the ‘Dopamax’ too. I’ve been on the crap before and it is AWFUL. The side effects are pure hell.
Yep - you most definitely deserve to treat yourself to something special this week Luv. I wish you nothing but some peace and quiet and restored health. And maybe a large Oreo blizzard from Dairy Queen !

If you are at the point of wanting peace of mind at any cost, you hand her her stuff, and boot her out. She’ll be upset, but you won’t have to worry about her pulling this again. And then when she does call you, you know she wants to talk, not mooch.
I feel bad for her kids.
