They wanted to see what ...It was an epic showdown. They wanted to see what happens, etc. which I cannot do with exotics in the house. So I just calmly but forcefully told them, "If you can get a motel that's great, IF you can drive on the ice...but if you can't, my house will be warm. However it will also be full of snakes, parrots and dogs, and if that bothers you, you need to let me help you today, because I am not losing my animals because you won't look ahead."<BR/><BR/>Mom made some noise about not being allowed into my house anyway and I just had it and said "LOOK, my job is to keep you safe which I am trying to do, it is NOT to maintain a second home for you to come to that is comfie for you."<BR/><BR/>Which really was the crux of the entire situation. She was pissy because her daughter doesn't have a house that she's comfortable in-well too fucking bad. Her daughter has been bending over backwards to try to get them to agree to back up heating so it never becomes a problem.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, it had to be done today, while it was warm and no one was crying or upset about burying Uncle John on Monday, because I plan on being catatonic Monday afternoon.<BR/><BR/>Daddy finally agreed to go help me pick out a generator and perhaps look for one of their own (the specter of being trapped in a houseful of snakes with me and a pissy Mom was just too much for him, so we agreed on the best generator and he didn't protest when I asked them to load two. (And it was the last two of that kind that had.....talk about bringing it in under the wire-oh shit shit fire).<BR/><BR/>And I'm sure Daddy is secretly pleased with a new gadget that is already unloaded, assembled and in his shed, cause he's a guy.<BR/><BR/>Mom had to have the last word-I stopped in after unloading and assembling the generators (Saul, our dear neighbor helped). I said I was going to get gas and lay in some groceries and she said "you should have bought gas two days ago-it was cheaper then."<BR/><BR/>But she didn't get the last word after all. I smiled and said "I did, but then I went to Dallas and it got used up, so I've got to buy more........" muwhahahahahaaaaaaaaa.Debra Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455047894767524091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-67934087820007896362008-12-13T13:34:00.000-06:002008-12-13T13:34:00.000-06:00I'm going for the whole house generator soonI'm going for the whole house generator soonMimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.com
