Top it off her memory is REALLY going. and I am wondering when Grandpa is dead is she my next care giving task? I wouldn't mind as much but I can see where this will go from all the denial and abuse BS in my family...
Glad to see Marissa checked in.I'm going to write down no. 1 ordinance in my town and I would apprecate ya'lls interpatation of it.[It shall be unlawful for the owner of record of any real property within the cooperate limits to create or allow to be created,or to maitain or permit to be maintained on such property the growth of trees,vines,grass,and underbrush and or the accumulation of debris,trash,litter,or garbage,or any combination of the preceding elements so as to endanger the health,safety and welfare of other citizens or to encourage the infestation of rats and other harmful animals.] When you read this -what do you see...It took a week to get this thing.
rosellamex, I don't think so, as I am here often when cg is here, but Mother is always more herself when I am with her. As you know, only superman can do this 24/7, and I am not it. I have even counted the seroquel and ambien on odd days. I am naive about drugs, except marijuana in the old days. haha However, this morning, I noticed tonight's meds are not in case: seroquel and zolpidem tartrate (amb). This I will address as soon as she gets here. I think the problem is more her 'arguing' with what my Mother perceives. I tell her to please make positive statements only and no arguing. She is one of those that does not let you finish your sentence, whatever you are talking about, and says, "I know". She knows everything. I need to talk to her, but not when she p's me off. Now she is having the "Itching". I got a call from doctor and she will call back with more ideas. We have tried everything for that. So, night was good, morning is hard. It all seems to even out!

Hi Miz, I so know how you are feeling. Although we are in different points of the same situation, I so so know how you feel. It takes all of my energy just to try to get up in the morning. I just feel so disconnected all of a sudden. I am usually the upbeat and positve one, on top of everything and this past week, I just feel disconnected from everything. Is it 5 yet lol Maybe a martini will help. I did finally wash the dishes that have been in my sink now for 3 days.lol Last night my daughter was trying to talk to me about her next steps in her goal to be a nurse and i was sitting there, not even listening, what an awful mother lol I am usually right there with the in and outs and what to expect etc.... and last night i sat as she spoke and was like " omg please just be quiet" lol lol lol. Which is so out of character for me. So tomorrow will be another day, and i think now i will try to make a small list and work on that tomorrow. Today I just want to stay disconnected. Thank you Miz for your hug. Much appreciated and a huge huge one to you. I will getting off of the computer for a bit, i will check back in a bit. HUGS TO ALL.
The BM duty is over for now. Going to bundle up and take a ride to the store. Now I am feeling bad for making fun of "community service" . If the police weren't so lienient when I was in my 20's, I would probably be out there too.
tennessee I take that to mean that tree limbs are kept trimmed back, vines kept within your yard trimmed neatly and not overgrown, grass mowed, underbrush cleaned out and no litter in your yard. So if you own the property it has to be kept in tip-top shape or they will fine you. That's why my hubby and i moved to the country. The town we lived in went so far as to tell people they could not make a larger driveway(lay down gravel) to park an extra car on, if there was a tear in a window screen, if your grass was taller than they thought it should be they would fine you. The city codes dept sent my son a letter blasting him for old tires (lying there over a yr they said) in his yard that interfered with the meter reader. He had just bought the tires and meter is on the opposite side of the house with an opening in the gate on that side for access. He told them to go **** themselves.
I hate to do this to you, but... here's an anti-depressant:
While you're at work today. and have to SEE customers walk in,
Step One: the MOMENT you see them, you will visualize them with NO PANTS ON
Step Two: While you're dealing with them make sure you keep a straight face. There will be NO smirking, snorting or Chuckling of any kind. Smiling OK, but only as a professional. SERIOUS!!!
DUDE, some people I come across I visualize with more clothing on!!!
Miz I know from depression, let yourself feel it for a set amount of time then literally get up go outside and take some deep breaths. It doesn't fix anything or cure or change perspective even but it helps your body stay focused and keeps renewing energy. give your self some time to heal, this is so not over, pace yourself! Be kind to yourself. Get out of your environment for a few minutes everyday. especially if the sun is out. and remember we are thinking about you and love you and have you in our thoughts and prayers always...
See I got back, we stuck to side walks and I picked up every aluminum can I could reach in my booted position...only missed one three feet of ice between me and it forget that one! Did not care I was wearing a short skirt, I flashed the whole neighborhood!
Tenn, sounds like one of those blanket laws that cover everything so if they want to give you sh*t they can. I live in an "Historic" district and actually sat there and watched as the hysterical committee argued backed and forth about whether they had they right to tell people what kind of flowers they can plant in their window boxes.
made chili for supper yummie , anybody wanna come over and have a bowl ? maybe have a beer or 2 too ? daughter called , think we re going shopping together later in evening . pa s so full from big bfast and is not hungry for chili , will ask him again later , xoxo
Three sisters, ages 92, 94 and 96, live in a house together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, 'Was I getting in or out of the bath?'
The 94-year-old yells back, 'I don't know. I'll come up and see.' She starts up the stairs and pauses, 'Was I going up the stairs or down?
The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters, she shakes her head and says, 'I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood.' She then yells, 'I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door'
oh bobbie ! u made me laugh , took a nap and woke up on the wrong side of the couch , came to see what hubby s doing hes watching tv something never intersts me , gettin on my nerves so i go out and smoke and came back in grump and sat down and read ur jokes , made me giggle . thanks bobbie !!! xoxo
Mahatma Gamdhi as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) ... a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
lol Bobbie, just what i needed to read.. so warning.. my joke might GROSS people out
Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Marjorie notices something peculiar about Mabel's ear and says, '"Mabel, why on earth do you have a suppository in your left ear?"
Mabel, surprised, replies, "I have a suppository in my ear?" She pulls it out and stares at it for a moment. Blushing, she replies, "Marj, sweetheart, thanks for letting me know. Now I think I know where to find my missing hearing aid."
Hey Family! I've had a VERY difficult day today. It started out pretty good, but this morning, I was still in bed reading the thread, I heard Larry open the front door & start screaming, "You get outta here"! He was yelling at a bunch of dogs that were attacking our little kitten, El Tigre. A big black dog got her before Larry or I could get to her. Larry got her out of the black dog's mouth, but her back was broken. (The black dog turned on Larry...I was scared!) I got her up & held her close until she passed. She was in bad shape & never would have made it to the vet's office. It was over quick & she didn't seem to be in pain & she didn't die alone, as she was in my arms & bathed by my tears. Larry called the Sheriff's Dept. & Animal Control came out & went looking for the pack of dogs, but didn't find them. Larry, however had better luck dishing out justice when they came back through a little while ago snooping around...He had already loaded a shotgun with rat shot & loaded the black dog's butt up good!!! It won't kill it, but it'll think twice before coming back around here again! My hero avenged our baby!!! (It was amazing that he was able to do that with the PD...I think the adrendlin kicked in!)
Bobbie, I have requested your number from Rip & am just waiting for her to contact me back & then I can get in touch with you! I won't call you too late, OK. I'm anxious to see what you have up your sleeve! : )
