Last Day of Work

Today is the day.  Even though technically I could be here tomorrow, I decided that since I already have the permission to take Wednesday off, I will do so.  LOL  They don’t have to know that I’m still in town.  =)  I feel kinda bad about it though.  Not sure why.  Normally I wouldn’t give two hoots about being here or not. 

If it comes down to it though, I can just work from home and secretly close out cases from there.  LOL  Not too many though otherwise it would be obvious!  I could just say that I was able to pick up a wireless connection in the airport during a layover and did some work from there.  Guess I shall see how I feel about it tomorrow.

So this last weekend was nice… VERY interesting to say the very least.  Jacob’s sister was completely out of it for the most part.  The medication that she had been taking for her epilepsy and her seizures had been causing her to be super duper mega paranoid.  She swore up and down that her ex-gf is trying to hack into her computer.  Whether it was through the internet, electrical outlets, phone lines, or WALKIE TALKIES!  No joke.  It was literally as if she was a paranoid schizophrenic.

She would start talking about all sorts of random shit, and then it was like she would lose any type of train of thought and stop talking in the middle of a sentence.  She was having a really hard time going to sleep.  Jacob’s mom hasn’t been getting near enough sleep because she has to watch Hannah 24/7.  Hannah was trying to drink beer while we were there.  That didn’t go over too well at all.  She was really pissed when we wouldn’t let her get away with it.

The whole situation really REALLY sucks.  Mary (Jacob’s mom) can’t work because she can’t leave Hannah.  Her job doesn’t pay her for the time off that she has to take in order to take care of Hannah.  She could get family leave, but that still would only give her $200/week.  Jacob’s dad only gives her $100 every other week for Hannah, so that doesn’t really add up to much of anything either.  Next week Hannah turns 18, so I’m not sure what will happen as far as him still sending child support.

So not only do they have no income and no money, but then Mary has her mother and her sister bitching her out about MONEY.  Both women have money coming out of their friggin’ ears!  They are more than capable of helping her out.  But do they?  NO!!!  Instead they bitch at her about not having enough money to make a $300 house payment for the house in Nebraska.  Not sure what all has been said about the house that she is living in now out here in Cali, but I’m pretty sure that once the first of the month rolls around, they are going to be bitching at her about that one too.

It is ridiculous how heartless these two women are when it comes to money.  SICKENING!!!

Jacob’s sister-in-law (the one we used to live with in NE) and I called Mary on 3 way yesterday.  We basically told her that she needs to obviously make sure that Hannah gets taken care of, but once that is out of the way… she needs to move to Nebraska.  She will be close to Seth and Shawn and the kids.  She has 4 grandkids that she has barely ever seen and one of them that she hasn’t seen at all.  We told her that she would be much better off.  She would be in a place where we could help her out better.  She wouldn’t be stressed out anymore because she wouldn’t have to deal with Nana and Cindy.  Those two hags can sell the houses and do whatever they want with them.  But at least she would be with the family that supports her and not the family that puts her through hell.

So we basically planted the seed for her to move to Nebraska.  The only way that Hannah will get better is if Mary and Ray don’t have to be stressed out all the time.  The only way they can not be stressed out is to move someplace that is calmer and MUCH more affordable to live.  We asked her what is keeping her here.  At first she tried to say the house, but I told her that wasn’t a good excuse since Nana is always threatening to sell it out from under her anyway.  Then she said all her animals.  Okay… the woman has a ZOO!!!  Literally.  She has 7 horses, 7 dogs, and 5 cats.  One of the dogs is about to have puppies any day now.

I told her to sell the fucking horses.  SHE CAN’T AFFORD TO FEED THEM ANYWAY!!  She can move some of the animals with her, but the others she will either need to sell, give away, or take to the Humane Society.  She is just in way too deep with all these damn animals!  Other than that… she had NO reason why she should stay out here.  So I guess we’ll see how Hannah does and then keep planting the seed to get them out to Nebraska.

Mary did take Hannah back to the hospital yesterday.  I guess after Jacob and I left on Sunday night, Hannah got really bad with the whole paranoia.  She took apart the walkie talkies.  It’s so unfortunate!

Now here comes the selfish side of me.  I’m worried about the wedding now.  What if Hannah isn’t able to pull out of all of this?  What if they aren’t able to get her to Nebraska for the wedding?  Do we postpone it because of that?  She is a bridesmaid in the wedding.  I talked to Andrea about it yesterday, and IF we would decide to go ahead with the wedding but Hannah couldn’t be in it or couldn’t make it, she said that she would take her place.  They are about the same size, so the dress wouldn’t be an issue.

I just don’t know what we would do.  I just want the wedding to be OVER with.  The invitations are already SENT.  I am going home on THURSDAY to finish the rest of the planning!!!  My dress fitting is on Saturday (that’s another issue that I prefer to not mention LOL).

*sigh*  Better get back to finishing up these last few cases.

Oh yeah… I forgot to mention one thing.  So from the time that we started planning the wedding, I had decided that I wanted my mom to be the one to walk with me down the isle.  Well, my dad sends me an email the other day asking me when I would be there this week, and some stuff about the wedding reception.  Then he writes that people have been asking if he is going to be giving me away at the wedding, and that he pretty much assumed that he was.  GREAT!  So I tell my mom about it, and she told me to go ahead and have him do it.  I DON’T WANT MY DAD TO DO THAT!  I WANT MY MOM TO!  She told me that it would really hurt him if I didn’t have him do it.  So I guess that is the one thing that I won’t get to have my way on my wedding day.
