A month later

So, I haven't done the greatest job in the world of staying on top of this but a month later is not the worst I can do. Things haven't changed too much in the last month. Work has been pretty much the same, just keep truckin away as they say. Things with my moms situation have not improved and I am not sure what is going to happen, I stay in touch and try to be supportive, but mostly I stay out of things and I am just waiting to see how the cookie crumbles. Apparently today I am into cheesy sayings.
Chase and I have not made any headway in the moving situation but it does seem that Chad is going to stay at home with Dad so that takes some of the pressure off me and gives me some comfort that Dad can make it once I'm gone. He still has no luck with jobs but he doesn't exactly go about it the most efficient way. I am done trying to do it for him and he's just going to have to figure something out. The only thing I am really worried about in those regards is Libby. I'm sure dad will miss her and she him. I was thinking of some days dropping her at dads on the way to work. I think they would both like that. Back to Chase and I, we are still waiting to hear from Orbin about what he is going to do with this house. I told Chase something needs to happen soon because I want to be in a new place before the first of the year and December is the worst time to move esp all those expenses with moving as well as Christmas.
Christmas is another monster I currently choose to not think about. It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with complications. I am hoping that my mother will come around and mend things with JoJo so we can have a normal Christmas, also if she doesn't boot Ray I don't know what we will do Christmas morning bc Ray and Zach and I no longer get along and Pa and Cheri and Dave certainly wont want to be around him either so who knows what will happen Christmas morning. Then Chase's family is going to Hull for like a week, and they are pressuring him to be able to get off from work and go. One he may not have the option to just get off days around Christmas like he's freaking special when he is the newest employee. And two I cannot and will not go out of state and away from all my family for Christmas, I'm sorry but I do not understand this whole lets take the entire family from KY to IL for Christmas. Seriously its like a minimum of 17 people. Yes, its where Grandma Gray lives but she comes to Louisville for every Christmas and holiday anyhow. Chase doesn't comment on the situation terribly often. He says he wants us to be together and happy and doesn't care where we are but I know deep down he will be upset to miss the entire week with everyone. But honestly its not reasonable to expect people can just take off a week around Christmas in this day and age.
Also, I am now obsessed with pinterest. Tons of recipes, fun things to do, and great ideas to make life easier and more fun. If you are not familiar with it you need to get on that.
