Today is an interesting day around Our House. As I type this a U-Haul is being emptied into the storage areas of the house and office add-on of the house.
Evidently things have reached critical mass at my brother-in-law's mothers house, and so to avoid the impending nuclear war, my sister, her husband and their three children are moving in with us.
It makes sense on several levels, the main one being that B's mom has 1000 square feet for seven people to live in where as we have 3500 square feet. Also, apparently B's mom hasn't let go of the idea that just because they live there it doesn't make them children, so she's weirdly controlling. And finally, B has a much better chance at getting a job in our area than he does there. (The whole reason they don't have their own house is because he got laid off as part of a downsizing...thing...at his old job.)
As for me, I'm indifferent about it as far as the Having Five Extra People In My House aspect goes. I still have my own space, so it makes no difference to me. And I'm glad to have Them Specifically here, because I like them. I mean, like any family, we have History that means we have plenty of dirty laundry, but it's all water under the bridge because...we're a family.
Anyway, just wanted to make sure I got something posted, even if it wasn't even a little interesting. Heh.
10, 0, 0. (Though the earned zero should be changing soon, as I've earned a bit of Cash on the Side recently. Will post the amount when I receive it.)
