So THAT'S what's going on

Okay, not much of an update, but an update nonetheless.

My wife and I got home from work last night and our son told us that WT had called. She told him that she's staying with Thing One and Thing Two during the weekend and with Chuckles during the week. She then said that she wants her DVDs (she was very specific about that fact she had four bags of DVDs) and she either wants us to bring them to Thing One and Thing Two's house, or take them to the hospital my wife works at so her and Chuckles can come get them. She asked that my wife call her on her cellphone after 6pm.

First of all, we don't have her cellphone number. She called from Thing One and Thing Two's house so the caller ID didn't give her cellphone number. Second, we most certainly are NOT driving her DVD's to Thing One and Thing Two's house.

So right now, tucked in the trunk of my car, are her DVD's... and all of the rest of her crap. My wife is going to call Thing One and Thing Two and tell them to tell WT she needs to be at the hospital at 4:15pm to get her stuff.

And there's more, and this is one of the many reasons I love my wife so much... tomorrow my wife had originally asked for some time off to take WT to an appointment to apply for food stamps. Today my wife is telling her boss that she doesn't need the time off and she said if WT shows up at the hospital for a ride to the appointment she's going to say "yeah, WT, one second" and she's going to hand her a bus schedule and say "the bus stop is right up the street on the corner."

So there it is right now... rather than stay with us and pay a very modest amount of money to chip in for her expenses she'd rather just float between two people's houses. And rather than accept the very generous offer of help from an agency a coworker of mine deals with, she'd rather just have everyone take care of her.

Truly a classy person.
