ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Today I realized enough is enough. I mean really...why is it that all the needy people in the world know my number and where I live? I have realized if I don't put up the Stop Sign, this will continue into eternity turning my life into a chaotic mess.
I was thinking here we are on a nice peaceful acre of land in the country, beautiful trees in the yard, wind blowing thru the house...but the only thing is, now my eighty year old mother is there, which by the way is okay, except for the fact that she is not in her right mind, she makes up these tremendous stories about me and the rest of the family and then pretends to be this innocent little gramma. I also have Joseph who is going to be 21 in September, who by the way, I never asked how long he planned to stay. Not that he is any trouble, he isn't. But my privacy has all disappeared. Then to top it all off, another 20 yr old by the name of Kyle wanted to move in, and then my bro calls me and asks if I will take in his 18 yr old stepson, Timothy. Then if that weren't all, my step daughter told us she was going to move in permanently. Oh No she isn't!!!! What do I look like? Rescue services or something. That is not all that is driving me nuts, I have boys calling me asking me questions that I have answered a thousand and one times. Then my friend Joe calls and try to open up five cans of guilt trip in one phone call, I wanted to SCREAM!!!! Why can't these people get a life???
So where do I go from here? What next? I first started unplugging my home phone at night. Then when I get home I turn off our cell phones at midnight, so we can at least get a good nights sleep. I am going to start muting my calls when I am with someone I want to spend time with, because my phone always rings right n the middle of my conversations.
I guess the next step is to say no to anyone else coming to live with us and find out how long Joseph plans to stay. As for my mother, God love her, I don't know what to do, but just take it one day at a time. If you are reading this and you are a praying person, please send one up for me, cause God is the only real peace that I have. I know He is all knowing and He never gives us more than we can handle, so for now I am saying enough is enough. I am cleaning the clutter from my life, meaning I am going to Confront, if they don't compromise, then I will Cut them off, or I might forget the Compromise and just go straight to the cutting.
