Hey Ladies : )
How is everyone?!? I know I haven't been around for a while and without writing an entire novel I will say that things are not great at the moment.
The basic rundown is that my grandfather is sinking deeper into the Alzheimer's and for the last month he has been in the custody of my bat sh!t crazy uncle. Right now there is a legal battle going on between my uncle and my Mom (which of course I am caught up in as well) to see who really has the legal power of attorney and who is fit to care for him. There have been more threats, police officers, and court orders that I care to mention. My uncle has said and done a lot of things that I'm having trouble forgiving him for.
My heart is hurting and I'm just emotionally exhausted. And, if I'm being honest, I've been embarrassed too. I know that's silly but I've been down right ashamed of how my family has behaved.
I've been trying hard not to be debbie downer! I'm saying my prayers and I have faith that things will look up soon. It just SUCKS right now. Everyone who actually read all of that gets one of these --------> 
Re: Hey Ladies : )
True freaking story.
I miss you, lady! And so does N.
Let me know if you need anything at all. I'll definitely keep your family in my prayers tonight. And and you get lots of these too...

Thanks guys. I knew ya'll would understand but I'd just been in such a funk with everything going on.
Shoe - You tell N that I have missed her too! Does your ticker really say she's 6 months old? How did that happen!?! I need to come see her soon : )
Jenn - At this point I am always up for a grande margarita. You name the happy hour and I will be there!
