Rainy Day Rant

I'm not a patient person. Never have been and probably never will be. Waiting just sucks. period. end of story.

I'm currently in "wait and see" mode on 2 serious issues.

The first being financial in nature. We are waiting to hear from our mortgage company if they can file a partial claim and send our late payments to the end of our note, or if we are going to have to fork over lots of $$$. Thankfully, we have the money (or atleast most of it), but it will totally wipe us out. DH is finally starting to make some bonuses, so once we get past this issue, we shouldn't find ourselves in it again. We've been waiting all month and they told us we'd know something on the 23rd., and now they say we'll have to wait til the 30th. ugh. The very worst part about this is that my house is due to be foreclosed on 11/7/06, and even though we know it won't happen (because if they can't move the payments, then we'll pay the money) it just sucks getting so close to that date and still not having a resolution. But I guess we'll just have to WAIT a few more days.....

The second issue pertains to my SIL and her baby. As most of you know, I've been ready to get them out of the house they're in for a long time now. They are officially living in the run down piece of **** that FIL moved them to. DH and his other siblings are wanting to do something about it, but they are taking their time it seems. There is a 3 week old baby living in that hell hole for crying out loud!!! I did speak with the SIL about her and the baby coming to my home, but she didn't seem interested. You see, at home, she does what she wants (obviously) and at 13 I don't think that she is capable of putting the baby's needs above her own. As of Tuesday, I was ready to call DFCS and have them removed and placed into my home, or at the very least the baby. DH and siblings wanted to handle it "in the family" first, which I understand. I guess sometime this weekend my other SIL is going to pick up SIL and baby and take them to her house for a while. During this time she's going to discuss with 13yo SIL why she shouldn't go back home. So, I've been WAITING all week, with that baby sleeping in that nasty, old, run down piece of ****. Needless to say I haven't slept well. Also, I'm not sure if 13yo SIL going to other SIL's house is the best idea. Other SIL is currently going through a divorce because she has slept with 4 different men in the past year or so!!!! So, obviously a wonderful role model. UGH. I guess the point we are at now is we'll wait and see what 13yo SIL decides to do after she leaves other SIL. If she goes back home, then dh and siblings will go talk to FIL and 13yo SIL about her and baby coming here. If that doesn't work (and I'm betting that it won't!) then we'll go the DFCS route. More WAITING!

I'm going to end this rant with a scream. Maybe then I'll be able to wait a little more patiently..........

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh
