The Ups and Downs of Life

Well.......yesterday was my granddaughter's first birthday!!! We had a really good time up until one of Kate's cousins called to see if it was alright to drive over, meet her in the street, and give her the present she had bought for Emilee. Me, thinking it was quite alright, I mean ...after all she wasn't coming in.......she wasn't even getting out of her car!!.......told her it was fine. Well......Katie's grandmother (in her usual unrational state) flew off the handle........just because she still to this day holds a grudge against her. I didn't know it was going to be such a big deal, but apparently (I was told this) I stir up trouble all the time. I really don't think that I was the one screaming and throwing my grandchildren out of the house! I sometimes wonder if she' s possibly bipolar.........it would really explain a lot of things! I can't imagine being yelled at by my grandparents in the way that she has done to them. Right now, we feel as if we are done with her. ......it will definitely be awhile before I go around her again.........and then, it will only be to see my dad. She has really done it this time...........my children want nothing to do with her......and it's sad, because my mother passed away so long ago that my children never even got to know her. She would have never got so mad that she would have thrown people out of her house...........really makes me miss her.

And, then, after all that drama, we went home only to find out that our cat had died. My darling Ronda, boo-hooed so hard that I didn't know what to do ..........so, I called one of her friends to come over and comfort her.......because I just couldn't do it. I don't know why the cat died.........just know that she did. I mean.........shoot she went for a walk with me and the dog that morning...not that I intended her to, but she did anyway. Well........in April........we had 7 cats. Due to one being killed by a dog, one we gave away, and two were stolen..........and now another one has died.........we are down to two yellow cats..........Simba ( a girl) and Fred (a boy).

So........yesterday was full of ups and downs both.........hope the rest of the week gets better! Till next time!
