Just a bit of catch up:

My house burned down in January of 2017. My Aunt and Uncle who lived just down the street took us in immediately. I was totally grateful.

Then my Mom let me know what she had hidden from me my entire life: My aunt, my mom's younger sister, is INSANE. My mom just never filled me in on most of their (her family's) antics and, you know, most people are not that involved with their aunt's lives. 

So they took us in and promptly hid us in the master bedroom. It was a given that really, during most of the day, we weren't supposed to come out. In the winter. With no heat back there and we had no money except for bills that were coming in (we had no home insurance because of the rural location and lack of nearby fire hydrants or some such). 

Okay that's all for now...gotta start my work day...but I am going to vent it all out here, with pictures and videos. :D
