OMG, Just when I thought I had everything handled.....
I swear, life throws curveballs my way with regularity. Some of you know the story that several months ago, I met my sister for the first time. We got along great, it was an experience of a lifetime. She had flown down a few times to get away from the family up in New York, her life story is full of twists and turns, some not too happy at that. 
As is turns out, she was diagnosed with Cancer. She is already a cancer survivor from years ago, so this is something she is familiar with. About the same time her now ex-boyfriend of many years beat the crap out of her for the second time, so that relationship is over and she made the decision to move down to Florida. We discussed quite a few things and we decided to pull together and split living expenses, she was moving in with us. She is bringing her 14 year old son, I get to meet my nephew for the first time too! This will be great for both of us as I've been raising my son by myself, I will actually get a little help with that. She adores my son, they get along great!
Now for the curveball...... She had surgery 2 weeks ago and the prognosis looks good.
The curveball is that she just found out that she is pregnant. 
With twins no less. There will be some hurdles that will have to be cleared, there is no certainty that everything is OK with them yet. She always wanted more kids so she is leaning toward having them. She was in a state of panic and asked if it was OK to still move down. Of course I said yes..... 
It's family! Now that I think about it, holy crap....... babies in the house! Ironically, that was something I didn't bargain for but ya know, I love kids. Sometimes I do wonder how I get into these situations. 
Oh well, life goes on.
