Christmas 2025

 Not sure why I suddenly got depressed today? I usually find this whole season depressing.  

The day got better. Not wonderful but not bad. A general good feeling 🙂. I took Nett and the boys the things we had for them.  I think they were all good with what we could do this year. These kids have grown up a lot and they are all pretty awesome humans!! I gave Jess the shirt Jazz helped me decide on for her,  "You guys must be exhausted watching me do everything!" 🤣 Jess is a little worried Jami might not find it as funny (and true!) as the rest of us but she accepted it well.  Like the color,  too 🫠. I also gave her a set of wireless ear buds like almost everyone else has.  She likes to listen to her shows,  especially "Passions"! while she slaves in the kitchen.  I should have got Jeanette one,  too, for over there but it might not be as well received there.  Jazz replaced my hair dryer that Shy borrowed right after I got it.  I found a pink ice scraper for Kira's car. Little things.  Maybe try to save to fix the gas leak!! And pay the back taxes!!

I'm putting off seriously talking to Jess about Nett moving in.  For real now.  We HAVE to do it for either of us to make it in this world.   Robby will be the main issue.  I know Jess is scared of both of the boys and the damage they might do as well as the stress level they cause around them.  Robby should get out on his own ASAP. I really think Jeanette and I can handle Riley. BUT this is going to be VERY HARD  on Jess,  especially at first.  She hates change.  I don't so much but I have seen this as an upcoming reality all along.  This house is for my daughters.  Jeanette has NO issue with Jess running the household - she even intends to help me pay Jess for all she does.  I give her $100 to $200 to spend every month but it is very hard to get her to spend any of it on herself.  Jeanette will be better than I am at getting Jess whatever she needs. It IS still the dream to have 1 to 4 tiny homes!!! I think Jess would LOVE  having her own little place in a plot of land with us having a few homes.  I'd want Jess to get a fancy one like what Elon Musk sells!!

I have a lot of ideas to sell Jess but first I have to help her accept the combining of our households.
