Silver Lining?

So either god hates me or I just have some bad juju following me around..(anyone know someone who can get rid of that?)..but we`ve had a rough go of it the past few weeks. While the baby is recovering from surgery quite well, Tony`s been out of work.  Luckily he just landed a job that should help us meet the rent at least.
  Turns out our landlord just up and left a few months ago..explains why no one`s come by for the rent in 2 months. Well he left some of his houses in the care of his wife, and the others belong to his brother..guess which we fell under. The brother wants to sell the house, and already has a buyer who isn`t interested in renting it out. We were pretty much told to either come up with 58k to buy the shit hole or get out. So as much as I don`t like it, we`re moving. BUT as luck would have it that same night, after applying to every single house for rent on craigslist, at 8:42pm a duplex in lehigh came up! We called the number right away even though it was 9:15 at night lol.
   We went and looked at it already, and though it is small, I`ll finally have my own bathroom and dishwasher. Oh and water is included! Its 50$ cheaper a month and we dont have the water bill anymore. Problem is my dad isnt very happy its in lehigh. But we have checked it against the county records to make sure it is legit, and the owner has taken it off the market. The girl in it now is gonna be out on the 15th and we are trying to come up with as much as possible to get in. But we def. have a place.
   The biggest issue with finding a place is our animals. As you know most of them are rescues and their behaviour would get them put down. Sassy has separation anxiety and Kingsley is as aloof as a cat but as needy as a child. Not something anyone really wants around.

Drake`s head surgery

We just got home from St. Pete Hospital on friday. Drake was admitted for surgery on Tuesday the 9th. It was really scary to have to sit in the waiting room not knowing what was happening for a whole hour. The only thing worse I could imagine was either getting a bad phone call or having to sit there for more than one hour.
  Drake needed to have his spinal entry into his head made bigger. They said his hole in the bottom of his head was so small it was pinching his spine and causing issues. His neurosurgeon was Dr. Carey. She is a very friendly woman who tells you in blunt terms what needs to be done, what she wants to do, and how she will do it. She was very reassuring and confident.

  He came through just fine. It is still painful to see the row of stitches running up the back of his head but he is sitting up again and cruising just fine. Somehow though I`ve become more distant from him and it makes me feel guilty and pained. Right now he is awake in his crib babbling and I want to go in there and play with him, but it is an hour past his bedtime and I don`t want him to get used to being up at 9pm, also every time I try to play with him he pushes me away and gets fussy.
  We came home not even 5 days later and he has made a perfect recovery. I would recommend this surgery to anyone with a child who has Achondroplaisa. The name of the surgery was a Spinal Decompression of the Foamen Magnum. Meaning, she shaved away some bone from the base of his skull in order to make the hole bigger so his spine was able to get more fluid flow. At no time was his head control compromised.

 We`ve always had this kind of relationship. Whenever Tony or Josh are around he laughs and plays but with me he just gets fussy and/or hits. Maybe I should just accept that this is my role.
