God is Good

So yeah this week has been a little hectic. Last sunday my grandfather gives me 150 bucks (god sent) cause we needed it desperately for Alex's school supplies. I got Alex supplies a nice pair of shoes and a nice backpack. We are kickin our butts tryin to get all our bills paid off summer has just been unbelievable as far as bills go. So anyway I find out my friend is coming here I'm excited about that . Then the next day I found out my mother is missing as in missing person missing. She apparently paid a family friend to move all her stuff to some abandoned duplex on the outside oft he town she lived in. My grandmother got a phone call from her ex apartment manager and she said that my mother had moved out and didn't give notice they took her deposit and are now renting out her place. And was just calling to make sure everything was ok cause she was worried and this wasn't like my mom. So anyway my grandmother finds out exactly where the guy took all her stuff. She drives out there the duplex looks like no ones lived there in years its abandoned it has chains on the doors. The grass is knee high. Her stuff is there underneath a carport and so is her car but she's no where to be found. Eventually we find out that she's living with her MARRIED boyfriend his wife lives in Mexico apparently. She called my grandmother to tell her she moved (yeah thanks for letting us know a week after the fact) and that she wanted everyone to butt out of her life and leave her the F alone. And for everyone to mind their own business and that she wanted nothing to do with anyone in our family anymore. (hmmm ok yeah off her meds probably) . Anyway so at least we know where she is. So thats one drama. Then day before yesterday Kirk comes home from work and tells me he needs to talk to me about a friend of ours that him and his girlfriend are probably breaking up and that she's abusive toward him and is always hitting him and accusing him of cheating on her ect.. Anyway the next day she apparently didn't wanna be with him anymore and told him to get out and take their 10 month old son with him. So essentially she left him high and dry. He took his son to work with him and Kirk who works with him on the weekends at his partime job told him to call me and take his son to our house. So he calls and he's like can you please watch him he tells me the story about what happened and I said sure bring him over and he said well i won't get off work till about 2am so I was going to get a hotel room for the night cause he had to turn around and go right back tow ork the next morning and would need me to watch him again. So at this point i'm like well you don't have to get a hotel room bring your ass over here and stay here. I refuse to have him sleep in a hotel room while his son is here and he could be here too. So I stay up last night cause i had to work a shift from 12am-2am anyway. He shows up here at almost 3am. So i get him situated give him blankets and an alarm clock and the poor guy has to be back to work by 7am so he gets like a whole 3 1/2 hours sleep. Then yesterday I get a call from my grandfather. Him "hey i got news we got you a car", Me: "HUH?" Him:"yeah we got you a car this older woman down the street got put into a nursing home and they put her car up for sale its a 1993 buick la sabre with 29k miles on it and we are putting new tires on it and new hoses and belts and stuff and bringing it to you wednesday" Me:"HUH?" yeah so at this point i was in like total shock. So ME: "You guys didn't have to get me a car why on earth did you do that? I mean i appreciate it but I didnt' ask" (i didn't mean this disrespectfully but this was like totally out of the blue. HIM: " You need a car with those boys and we found one and want to give it to you " . Now for the last 10 years we have been a 1 car family with the exception of a car my mil gave us that ran but not well which we sold recently cause the transmission was out. Anyway so to say the least my grandparents bought me a nice car and i get it for free she's even paying 6 months of insurance up front. I just don't know what to think other than I'm blessed and very greatful to have such wonderful grandparents who i consider my parents really. Ive really been tryin to be charitable I freecycle alot of stuff i've been helping out friends alot i've just really tried to be the good samaritan lately and its paying off i guess. I'm truely blessed to have the family i have and the friends i have, despite the financial situation we are in I can say we are truely blessed. Have a look at your life today and look behind whats stressing you out at the moment and look at what your truely blessed to have in your life. Have a blessed sunday.
