I REALLY DO NEED SOME TIME OFF FROM WORK. IT IS TAKING IT'S HORRIBLE TOLL. I AM HOPING TO TAKE SOME AROUND HALLOWEEN WEEKEND. I AM EXPECTING MY SISTER TO COME UP FROM EUGENE OREGON AND BRING OUR INFAMOUS FRIEND WITH HER. OUR FRIEND MO, (FOR SHORT) HAS 2 KIDS AND LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH NO MOTIVATION. SO WE HAVE DECIDED TO PROVIDE A FRIENDLY INTERVENTION. HER OLDEST BOY IS 5, AND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. HE IS VERY HIGH STRUNG AND SHE EVEN TOLD ME THAT HE CAN'T HAVE FOODS WITH SOME CERTAIN COLOR DYES BECAUSE THEY LEAD TO HYPERACTIVITY! YIKES!

THE PLAN IS TO BRING HER HERE TO WASHINGTON AND SPEND THE WEEKEND. NOT MUCH TO DO IN MY TOWN, BUT WE'LL DRIVE UP TO SPOKANE AND HAVE SOME FUN. SIS AND I PLAN TO KINDA GANG UP ON HER AND HELP HER HAVE A POSITIVE SOURCE TO GET HER TO REALIZE THERE ARE THINGS SHE CAN CHOOSE TO DO DIFFERENTLY. FRANKLY AT THIS POINT, I CARE, BUT IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE WHAT I HAVE TO CRITICIZE, THEN SHE CAN GO TO HELL. IT'S NOT ABOUT HER ANYMORE, IT'S ABOUT HER KIDS THAT SHE SCREAMS AT ETC. SHE HAS NO PATIENCE WITH THEM. THE YOUNGEST IS ABOUT 8MONTHS OLD, AND SHE IS NOT SURE WHO THE DADDY IS. MO IS NOT APPLYING HERSELF TO GET A JOB. I CALLED HER YESTERDAY AND WE TALKED A BIT AND SHE MENTIONED ABOUT LOOKING FOR A JOB, I SAID SHE SHOULD GET ON THE BALL SINCE XAMS IS COMING AND LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL BE LOOKING, AND NOT TO MENTION THAT WELFARE ISN'T GONNA PAY FOR HER TO BUY GIFTS FOR XMAS!
