Yeah, I might be overreacting, but, damn it, I'm going to stick with the title.
Julie came down with a fever on Thursday night ... and still has it. It's broken twice, but not for long. It's 103, close to 104 at times, and she is refusing meds. UUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!
On the way to the doctors on Sat, she threw up ALL OVER the back seat of my car. She hadn't been throwing up, and I swear I had been transplanted into some sort of horror movie at that point. It was GROSS! My mom had to meet us up at the doctor's office because I didn't have a spare change of clothes in the car. Her doctor is in a different town, and I would have missed our appointment if I had turned back home. Tomorrow, when I go back to our house, a spare change of clothes is going into the back of my car. YUCK!
Friday, my grandmother came to stay with us. I'm not the praying sort, but I am praying with all my might that this isn't permanent. She wants to come and live with me.
NO!!!!!!
I don't want to give up what little bit of freedom we just achieved by living with my completely irrational (spoiled) and just plain weird grandmother. Seriously, not gonna happen. My dad (her son) is highly allergic to cats, ended up in the emergency room the last time he had cats in the house because he stopped breathing. She comes with her cat, and tells my dad "No, I won't let the cat stay in the garage" ... yeaaaaahh, let's just kill your son because of your cat. Are you nuts?!!?!
I really try to be "mature" ... but I'm going to be a big fat baby on this one. I do NOT want this to happen. I can handle my grandmother and her possibly soon to be ex husband on small doses. Like, once a year sort of doses. Her marriage to my "grandfather" is her fourth marriage, and she's been threatening him with divorce for years. I think that's why most of my family migrated to California, so they wouldn't be stuck with her. UGH!
So, Juliette's sicker than anything I can remember .. and I have my grandmother watching over me asking me why Juliette's being so mean. Ummm .. because she's sick!? I haven't gotten much sleep since Thursday ... and I'm just tired. My car smells like puke, and I can't even be comfortable in my own home.
Here's to hoping she goes back home ... and soon. I told my dad and mom that if they convinced her to go and live with my Aunt in California, I would pay for the plane ticket. LOL, and I'm serious!
Hopefully Juliette gets better soon, but I have a feeling I'll be back at the doctor with her soon.
Worst weekend, ever

As for the grandmother, I don't understand that. How can someone come stay with you without your permission? And how can they bring a pet if it isn't okay with you? I can tell you that if anyone showed up at our door with a cat or dog, they wouldn't be allowed in the house no matter who they were. If the President came to visit with a new puppy, the dog would have to stay outside. No smoking in our house. No pets in our house. And certainly no uninvited guests in our house. I think you guys need to put your foot down and get this settled right away. The longer you allow it to go on, the harder it will be to correct.

I am still trying to understand how your grandmother could move in with you without your permission. Did you have any forewarning of her plans, and if so, what did you say to her?

This was my grandmother's words ... Amanda has the house now, I can stay with her since she has extra room.
Yeah, thanks for running that by me first.
I haven't figured out what we're going to do ... but she's talking about staying with relatives out in California. Fingers crossed!
