My mom is nearing retirement age and the closer it gets the more she talks about moving in with us.  We've joked around about it for years, like how I'll keep her in a high turrett where her grandchildren can throw food up to her through the window. 

My mom claims she will be very cranky and a pain to live with because she will be old, tired, and in pain.  She'll be angry that she can't do all the things she wants to do. In one way I can understand that but in another I keep telling her she's just going to have to accept it.  It's a fact of life and I don't know why she has to make all of us miserable to boot.

While Dear Man likes my mom he wonders if he might lose his sanity living with someone who chooses to be a grump. He decided we would be a little house on wheels so when my mom is good we'll park her house next to ours and when she is being a pain we'll park her in the back forty.*

Actually my mom will need to have a house on the ground floor so a two or three story house with ground floor apartment would be best. We could also go with a house that has a ground floor mother-in-law house on the property.  Either of these could be hard to find in our price range and in our neck of the woods. 

So we've been looking to see what kind of houses are out there that we could add to our property. Here are some possibilites.  Some are just fun, some are ugly, and some you just  have to look at because its there.

Tumbleweed Houses - It's a house, it's on wheels, it's cute!
Eco-Pod House - For the bee in your family
Micro Compact Home - It's ugly and one might be called in to social services if you actually housed your mother in it.   
Just a house pod - Might work if we lived in the arctic.
Shell house - Since my mother says she'll be a crab...
Simon's Eco-house - My mom would actually like this even though she doesn't have hairy feet.
ICOSA pods - You could always hope Han Solo might stop by.
A Yurt - You want a reindeer with that?
Loft Cubes - I'd be worried that an alien ship might mistake it for a spare part.**
Pumpkin House - To prevent it from decaying would you have to shellac it?

* I hope you know we are just kidding and that we would take good care of my mom. Maybe.
** I don't believe in aliens but that's what it makes me think of.

Hey people! I know your shocked another post! And its not even been a week! LoL! Anyways.. mmm.. O yeah quick update on my mom. We`re moving. yeah... Actually we`ve been trying to sell our house for a while but not like.. really really tried. But now we have too. The doctor told my mo that the reason she felt so bad when she was at home was because of some chicken houses down the road (and they are quit a ways down the road) that they used some kinda chemical that my mom is allergic to. They told her we have to move or it will end up killing her. Wasn`t that encouraging. Sooo if you would please pray that our house will sell.. fast! We`re moveing about 15 minutes down the road to were we actually used to live next to my grandparents house. But we`re going to rebuild the house or something. Its to small and we`re going to build on.. or maybe we`re just going to start over idk.. So yeppers be praying for that.

Okay let me see.... what else is going on. O yeah! I`m actually sitting here trying to decide if I`m going to go upstairs and pack. See there's this youth thing in Tn tomorrow and the girlz are going up there tomorrow and spending the night. Idk if I`m going to go.. I`m.. well I`ve got some stuff going on and I don`t know if I really feel up to it or not. So anyways.. Here I am trying to decide. LoL! Actually I don`t think my mom really wants me to go because I`ve been.. *cough* a bit weepy *cough* *cough* Okay that's a lie. I`ve cried over EVERYTHING this week! its been terrible! I even cried when I watched Sisterhood Of the Traveling Pants. Talk about stupid. But I did.. So yeah. LoL! Me and my emotions.. don`t know if I wanna take them to Tn with me or not. So other then that......hummmm.. O yeah. I`m still addicted to these christian/romance novels about cowboys. What can I say? Who don`t want a tall, dark and gorgeous guy to come riding in on a horse and take you away to paradise. LoL! Okay maybe I`m just being my normal hopelessly romantic dreaming self. But hey.. whats life without dreams ;) hehehe so anyways.. thats about it. No more burned pop-tarts. O but I did almost set the clothes dryer on fire. I didn`t realize that the timer had messed up so it was like on extreme heat for over 4 hours. The clothes kinda had a slightly.. toasted smell to them but nothing was ruined :) So yeah.. Keep me away from hot stuff ;) LoL! Love you lots  ♥
