I’m having some more issues at some right now that I can’t  really share. All I can say is pray for a sweet little baby that needs all the help he can get. If you don’t pray just send well wishes to where-ever you can. I can honestly say this was the single worst day of my life. I will be back at work soon though if for nothing else than to keep me sane.

Hopefully will see you around the blog and forums soon.

I don’t have a lot of time so I am basically pasting what I sent to my team. I haven’t read all the comments, but thank you for the support!!! Oh and yes we did contact lawyers etc and there wasn’t anything we could do in the 3 days.

“I’m home. In a house full of chaos and sadness. We didn’t get there till late Tuesday (by we I mean Brent’s brother and me). Wed we got up at 4 AM and packed what we could till the truck came at 3. Luckily after the moving guys left we got a few more boxes ready and were so pooped by 9 we crashed since we had to leave at 4:30 Thursday morning. We basically got the furniture she wanted plus 90% of her kitchen stuff. Only maybe 3 boxes from the whole rest of the house made it on the truck.

It’s unbelievable the amount we had to leave behind. Half her clothes, almost all of her shoes, nothing from the bathrooms, extra bedroom or office and only one box of living room and her room stuff. Even if we couldn’t fit it all in the truck it could have been donated to people in need. She has thought of several things that are really sad she forgot about or couldn’t get to. Some of her dad’s (he passed away a few years ago) stuff and a box full of her important papers (including all her disability, food stamp and birth certificate. Some of that can’t be replaced even if she had tons of money.

We were pulling away right as the sheriffs cars were pulling up to drag her out. I wish there was something money wise I could do for her to help her get back just the necessities at least. A charity or something. Does anyone know of anything like that? Just something small to help her be able to replace the essentials like clothes, bathroom supplies and her walker (yes we even had to leave her super duper walker behind because we couldn’t get it in the car).

She’s taking it much better than I expected though I still think she may crack soon. Heck I may crack soon too. Feeling the pressure of changing things around so she can get around better and her small dog that is blind. We are supporting her for now until she gets a new disability check, but that’s so small it’s going to take her months to get it back to us and we really didn’t have any to spare.

We will be spending the weekend trying to fix the damage the movers did and trying to make it so that she has a place to store her clothes etc. Wish us luck

I have been MIA the last couple of weeks to prepare for my mom coming to live with me. My mom has been disabled for several years now, even though she is young (in her 50′s) she suffers from very bad back problems made worse from a surgery and several strokes. She has a lot of trouble getting around and has not been able to work since her surgery. No work and a small disability check led to her house being foreclosed on recently.

A few weeks ago we made plans for her to come up in after Alex started school. Last weekend we moved it up and she was going to follow me home after my annual summer visit in two weeks. Yesterday the Sheriff’s department knocked on her door and told her she only has until Thursday at 8 AM to get her stuff and get out.

We already have a small house and have been working toward making a space for her, but only being given 3 days and me being 6 hours away presents tons of problems. Nevertheless I am leaving in the morning with my brother in law to help her pack what we can and move her in with us. We spent the day cleaning out part of our garage (very large house sized 3 room detached one). The biggest room has been left for Brent to do after work by himself, he couldn’t get off work all 3 district managers were already working others routes. Goodness help me my mother is also a clean freak and my house is dirty!

So why am I writing this? One because it explains my lack of designing over the last 2 weeks (and possibly the next week). Two because I am sad and disgusted over the policies etc of big businesses and mortgage companies. My mom who is government recognized as disabled, uses a walker and has had multiple strokes is only given 3 days to pack her whole house and move! I understand you don’t pay your bills and bad stuff happens. I also think disabled people should be given more time especially when they call and just ask for 48 more hours (I tried to call myself and ended up on hold for almost an hour without reaching anyone). She happens to live near Gulf Shores that is being affecting by the oil spill so it is very unlikely anyone will even want the house period and no one is going to need it in 48 hours.

Ok so I got my rant out and I hope to be back to normal working hours next week. Cross your fingers I may have something new out by next Friday. Thank you so much for being loyal, patient friends and customers!
