To all of my fans, whether it be of this story or others, you all need to realize something VERY IMPORTANT.

I am a wife with a husband who works on an oil rig, I work (on average) 32-40 hours a week at my job, AND I'm the mother of three children, all under the age of ten, with only two of them being school aged.

Which means that, by default, this site is not- nor will it EVER be- my number one priority in my life.

It's not even in the top 5.

1. Kids

2. Hubby

3. Job

4. Home

5. Me

So periodically, my home/personal life will take over, and I'll have to step back for a bit.

7/10 times writers block occurs around the time life stops being so hectic.

Neither of which I can control.

If you have a problem with any of this: Unfollow me/this story.

Because I'm at the point that, while I'm appreciative of those who have patiently waited, I don't give a damn about those who haven't.

I've decided that after this chapter, there will be a 3 or so year time skip.

Hopefully that will help with my writers block. Because the majority of my ideas are after Lisa enters high school.

And another thing- you guys really need to get over the fact that I killed off Dick.

It's been YEARS since I posted that chapter and I'm still getting whiny butt hurt anons giving me death threats over it.

Don't believe me? Here's the review I got about it on 7/19/18.

"From: Fuck ofg (Guest)

-

F*** ofg:F*** you you need to bring dick back somehow or I swear to God I will bury u alive when I find you I hate you sooo Oooo F*** MUCH"

This... lovely example of proper grammar is one of the newer reviews on the story, if you don't believe it to be true.

And until you see the "Complet" symbol on this story, or see the words "Discontinued/Up For Adoption" then I highly suggest you all quit assuming I'm never gonna finish this story because it can, has, and will take a back seat to the things in my life that actually matter.

FYI: New chapter is about 70% done. Assuming that no catastrophes happen in my personal life like they have in the past, it'll be posted BEFORE the end of August.

Have a wonderfully blessed day :)
