What are the odds? Usually the house full of people 99% of the time, and the one hour I actually have the house to myself, do I dance around listening to my Rick Springfield album...yeah, I said album...at ear splitting volume? Run around naked? Not likely...even if I was the last person on earth! Watching the news? Nope. I sit in my office just if they were all here...my only testament to being along...my door is open!
My hopes of daily updates, slid to weekly and now it's looking monthly....but I'm going to try again. So lets see...where to start...
From my last post...The girl staying with us had her baby, a little boy. She's back in the homeless shelter, as least she was a few weeks ago. The unregistered sex offender, to our knowledge, is still in jail. Oh happy day! Turns out he was not only unregistered, but was never to live in house with any children under the age of five. So far, Peeka seems just fine. She's posted a note on the front door telling him he's never allowed back in the house. (At least that's what she assures me the notes says!)
We have two new housemates. Bennett, one friend of Mike's that he used to work with. It's a delight to have him with us. He seems to be the only in the house with a certain level of discipline. He's the one mostly likely to notice Peeka sitting on the kitchen table during dinner and tells her to get back in her seat. Mike and I are so used to her hootnanny, that it takes us longer to notice. He's also the voice of reason when I leave Mike with power tools. But even Bennett gets caught up in the whirl wind that is Mike...like the time they dropped the tree on the power lines and phone lines.
Then there's Danielle. She's Mike's daughter Jessica's friend from Chicago and without going into great detail, even though I love the details, she's 18 and was in need of rescue from her family. She managed to get away and get to the airport where we've a ticket waiting for her since November. She's been trying to get away from them since her birthday back in November. We've talked to the police in both Chicago and here in NH, talked to a lawyer, and been ridiculed by Facebook group saying we kidnapped her and wont' let her have access to her medications. She asked her parents to mail her meds, but they refused. Can't imgine why she felt the need to get away from them. Can't you just feel the love and support from them!
Peeka loves having both of them around. It will be interesting to see how well they do when Jessica arrives next weekend for a few days. Who will get her attention? Daddy, sister, best friend...I'll keep ya posted!
