The Big Move: Update One

Good Friday, MyBloggerstown:

     Had a real interesting conversation with Suffering, my sis-in-law.  For some unfathomable reason they are anxious for me to get there.  They have made the following offer:  I come out next month(December) at some point before the Christmas madness.  They offered to front me the money for an airline ticket.  I come out with just my essensials(clothing, laptop etc.). Store all my furniture, books etc. at Crazy Sis's house .  Then in April or so when Crazy Sis and Mama decide to come, I fly back and help them drive the U-Haul west with all our furnitures in it.  This would save me a ton of dough-re-mi as I will not have rent, utilities and so forth to pay for about 4 months or more.  Naturally, I will re-emburse Bubba and Suffering  for the ticket plus the extra electric/water/food expenses that they encur by my living there. I mean, I'm not gonna just mooch off of them.  It sounds like a fantastic plan but I have to decide soon....before the 15th(tommorow) because we have to act fast to get a ticket before the holiday rush.  I do not relish travelling at this time of year but it is a plan worthy of concideration. 
     What I keep wondering is what their rush is? Why do they want me there so soon?  Well Bugg, you say, mebee they love you and want you there for the holidays.  Hah!  I am held in about as much esteem by them as I am by Mama and Crazy Sis.  And we all know that's somwhere between pond scum and pig shit.  No, they want something.  It can't be money.  My meager Social Security check is hardly a fortune and wouldn't be worth their while.  A babysitter? I already told them that the Auntie Bugg Daycare Center is out of bid'ness.  I mean I love the children but I am failing and in no physical shape to scamper after 4 rambuncious tots(Jethro, Daisy May, Damien and Wednsday) plus 3 rowdy dogs(Brody/Buddy, Moose and Benson)and a tempermental cat(Munchkin).  I am sure the reason behind their generousity of spirit will be revealed but in the meantime, no matter what thier movtive it's still good for me.  I need to be away from here as soon as possible.  I can't begin to tell you how uncomfortable I feel in this house now, what with all that's gone on the past year (i.e. the shooting, the drug busts, the neighborhood break ins, and the mental case tenents.) If I do this, it means I'm really gonna have to get on the stick.  So much to do and so little time.  Need to check and make sure my pain killer prescription is filled.  And I need to start making my check list of things that need to be turned off, canceled etc.  Well, at least it'll gimme somethin' to do. 
I'll keep all of you apprised of my progress.  If you have any thoughts or idears please don't hesitate. 
Thank you for being my friends.

Maybe they took out life insurance on you: have someone taste your food before you, perhaps that dog. A shorter time frame is always more motivating and you get more done than dragging it out. Keeping a good thought here.

Do they treat you better than your Crazy Sis and Mom? If so, go for it. Maybe they want to fix you up on a blind date...

I'm excited for you Buggs!

It's good to hear you back to your old self again, Buggs! I was a little worried about you last week.
If I were you, I'd go for it. If nothing else, you can keep them miserable until April!
Keep us posted!

Go for it, it will be fun.

Bugg, you said,,,
"you could be right, stephy. they could be doing this just to be kind. guess I should stop being so paranoid huh? its just so out of character for them."

I can totally understand the doubts, and concern. As we get older we need to have our guard up, and look out for number one. There are always scum out there looking to take advantage of the elderly (yep thats us!). Pat (the wife remember?) always said that my biggest problems is I don't trust people, and look for their "Hidden Agenda" when they offer something.

It sounds like a great idea and you won't be alone for the holidays. Maybe they just miss you and want to be with you...?? It certainly does not sound safe where you are currently living...best wishes as you make your decision.

Bugg, Everybody has to gather as Family when times get tough. maybe they need you more than they are letting on, and maybe they are being big-hearted. Leave yourself an out. Make sure somebody can get you out of this new situation if it turns out to be a nightmare. If it is all true, accept is graciously and keep in touch here at MyBloggers.

Safe travels, and happy landings.

They need you fer dekoratin their Chrismuss tree? Make shur they voted fer ya before ya go.

Well,,,,,having a dysfunctional family myself, You have to be cautious. They know your living conditions now, maybe they do want to help. They know you got no dough, they know the full time day care has closed,,, will you have your own room with a lock?
You will have to weigh the pros and cons,,,
Pro,
Not by yerself anymore,,
Back near the kids,,
Lower expenses,,
Away from your current living nightmare,,
A change of scenery is always good,,

Con,
Less privacy,,
Need new doctors,,

yada yada yada,,, I guess you have plenty of things running through your head, you have come right out and told them no daycare center, no cash stash, so it's time for Buggs to decide, "Whats best for Buggs". Good luck with your decision,,

It sounds like the move will be at just the perfect time. You will get to be with the family for the holidays! That is so cool!

buggs that sounds wonderful! just think, to be there for Christmas! I sure hope you are able to do it.
comment by elkhound on Nov 14, 2008 6:47 PM ()
This sounds like a plan! Whatever they want, you'll be with the little darlings. Knowing you, you won't let them get away with anything... will you? No, you won't! Any word from the Prez about a post that you can fill wherever you happen to be?
comment by sunlight on Nov 14, 2008 4:54 PM ()
I'd do it; but I would let them know that I am not coming to be a housekeeper, a babysitter, or a doormat.
comment by redimpala on Nov 14, 2008 4:54 PM ()
Anything new on the subsidized housing??
'No, they want something.' That worries me--you might save some money now but at what cost later??? I just worry about you!
comment by greatmartin on Nov 14, 2008 2:20 PM ()
Hmmmmmmmmmmnot sure what to say about this.Then it is your busines
and not mine.If you feel uncomfortable about this,then work it out somehow.
comment by fredo on Nov 14, 2008 2:12 PM ()
Have a firm, resounding, "No!" ready when you find out what they want from you.
comment by nittineedles on Nov 14, 2008 1:16 PM ()
