Easy? surely I jest

This isn't Joe and it isn't the Little Red River in Heber Springs, Arkansas... but it sure as heck looks like it.... except Joe has a skinny butt... ;)

In my latest rant post I related how Joe didn't want to talk about the RV. He comes in this morning… his route puts him home every other day and all weekend… grabs some tools and leaves.

I call him and ask … what? He said he was going to stop by the RV on his way to Waco. (his route)

hooray! finally!

He did and the report is that it is still a very pretty RV. The tires are ok and the battery burst? from the cold but he thinks he can charge it enough to put the slides in. Everything else seemed to be okay. The carpet which is an aqua kind of color is not. I wanted to replace that anyway … with wood as I want to do with this house.

Saw his Mother and her live-in boyfriend... chuckle ... He likes neither of them .... especially him. They met at a LOWS get together almost 20 years ago! They loved to camp but they did so within a few hundred mile radius.

NOW … he wants to bring the RV here. Her boyfriend's truck is having computer problems… big ol thing that pulls big ol fifth wheels and such. His health is not good and his Mother's is not good. They don't go any where any longer. The truck has been sitting there for a year. He will sell it to us for $1500. I say… you've got to be kidding.

So we had a phone and texting screaming thing… lol

He wants to move it up to the Little Red River - which is a beautiful place. I went up there not long ago and wrote about it with pictures. I like it there. We went there many times when Yates was little. Joe likes to fly fish. Great trout river.

Now… y'see? He just had over 8 days of vacation…. I wrote about what all he did… went out four times - the rest of the time? played computer games. I know that he will not do this. I will still be here waiting for him to move the RV.

He says the motorhome will be too expensive. I said… over selling the RV and buying and fixing that gas guzzler truck??? Plus having to depend on you to move it every 14 or 15 days??? … I forget what it is at a Corps park or state park … There is no private park we would be interested in plus the fee ---don't know how that would solve anything.

I would live there until he decided to come up? I don't want to live in Heber Springs... it's a tee tiny resort town... he knows that! so.... he's going to go up there --- waaaaay outta route when he's here every other day and weekends??? his route is North Little Rock to Waco, Texas .... South!  Heber is a little over an hour north! what? right

Makes sooooo much sense. He still just doesn't 'get it'. Regardless, I will have to check the code for our house if we can even park the RV here… I don't think we can. But a small motor home like I want, we can. The RV would have to extend into the back yard …. too big... we share a freakin driveway! this is the city... sigh sigh sigh and sigh

Regardless, he won't do it. I've been married to him for almost 28 years. I know him. I just go insane trying to reason and talk with him.

I would have loved for him to have gone fly fishing again … anything… something… he hasn't in years! He goes and buys all the whammo bammo stuff … from waders to rods to vests to a zillion lures or flies --- whatever the things are you catch the little guys with… unbelievable.

It's simply that he doesn't want to cooperate…. he's going to be difficult… did I really think it was going to be easy? really?

Sooooo I'll figure something out … I'll find a way to live in Homer. I would prefer to be able to stand up and have a little motorhome but... it looks as though it ain't gonna fly without energy that I just don't have right now.

My baby is coming the 16th ... I could just go away and come back when we get the baby.  JeeeeezI wish it weren't too cold to stay in Homer within a couple hundred miles! Beautiful stuff around here but too cold to sleep without heat! No fun sitting in Homer at night watching a movie freezing... nope doesn't seem fun to me.

The worst part is waking up ... I got caught a little too late in Door County Wisconsin before heading back south a few years back and slept in Homer --- it was 17° ... I had two sets of sweats on --- three pair of socks ... a comforter and my very warm throw ... I thought I would be fine --- didn't know it was going to get THAT low that night... too cold for this ol southern gal.... so it was motels for a couple of nights heading to warmth! 

I like St. Louis, a lot... as well as Memphis ... or even here at Lake Maumelle... but no heat!? .... electric at Lake Maumelle... could I get a little ceramic heater and it would be ok inside Homer? I would have to have the window down a bit. hmmmmm

I'll fix it--- I'll go buy one and he'll never know... he hasn't a clue about our finances... I've always handled them ... but then I'm an honest kid and I couldn't steal from us... but I might borrow... :D

Sigh... what the hell happened... how did it all go so wrong ... listen to this song with caution... not for the weak
