I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Jeanette you should put agingcare as next of kin. We'll all come running if theres an emergency.
I don't think back fondly as you guys do to my childhood. There was always too much tension. My Dad died when I was four so my Mom worked fulltime. I had a schizophrenic brother who terrified me at the time so I spent a lot of time hiding in my bedroom. When my Dad died everyone seemed to scatter off into different directions, kind of like what animals do when they are wounded. Come to think of it thats what everyone did when my Mom died too. No need to bring out the violins, I'm not having a pity party. It was what it was. But when I hear you all talking fondly about the old days I can't really relate.
As far as high school reunions go. I would never go back. I was bullied all through school cause I was tall for my age and you know how kids are when someone is different. Merciless to say the least. I hope to never see any of them again.
Anyhow, went to movie. Ate a large bag of popcorn. A huge drink. The movie was meh.... but it was fun to go out just the same. Hubby bought me some new shoes.
All in all it was a good time.
So much focus on avatars, name changes, has been a distraction from those bills I need to pay, responsibly. Hoping that my frivolity has not driven all the good people away. Oh, that's right, they are away at church, this is still Sunday.
That is not to mean others that don't go to church can't be good too, or, the ones that do go to church can't be bad?
Just spent 15 minutes writing my post and POOF.... it's gone
Synopsis went like this;
Gersh, yes, that's my big pibble. Sydney. Love her more than anything! She'll let me hug n hold her while I cry...just gives me gentle kisses vs her BIG ones.
Stacey, did you go to the casino? If so, you weren't gone very long ;) BTW
HI THERE... lovely to meet you :)
Send me, there is not enough frivolity on here... keep on keep'n on!
Falcon, loved to read about how this all came about. So fitting. As far as resting while mom's in the hospital. Uhm, just ask Susan how much rest you get. NONE! Be thankful the hospital is dealing with mum's plumbing backing up... trust me, it is ZERO fun reaching in and depacting your own mother. Matter O fact, it is awful. No child should have to do that nor should any mother have to go through that. Implies to fathers and sons as well.
Now ... back to outdoor fun stuff before the sun starts waning away. Winter here is just too long.
Stacey, hey, you wanna take a winter trip somewhere WARM? I'm game.
Jude oh I am so sorry, no respite time, Really, after the last few weeks you've had, just not fair! I'm sure your Mum absolutely cannot fathom just how time consuming having her in hospital actually affects your day and your night, she sees you there, then when your not, you must be home with your feet up eating Bonbons! Just go anyways, what the worst they can do, put her out? No really, that's just crappy!
Sendhelp, thank you. I don't really like this avatar either as my face is all squashy, it's round anyways so, meh, I'll keep it for you Love! Your Sweet!
Gershun, I'm with you, I hated High School, so no reunions ever! I have a few FB high school friends, that's it! That next of kin thing was a good answer! Yes, we will come running for Jeanette!
JeanetteB. VACATION, hmmm, I would love too, totally, but I'll have to convince my hubby, let me work on him! It's not that I have to ask him or anything, but he and I have been trying to get away for such a long time, that I will try to do that little trip with him first, then, TOOWANDA, you and me Babe!
Mom came out for the evening to watch tv and read the Sunday comics. She even asked for scrambled eggs and toast for dinner. Things are getting better, but we still have to get to the bottom of this ( no pun intended, lol)
There is something called the tiny house news letter that come in the e mail every day and shows wonderful tiny houses you can build buy or even covert an old bus
Stace, you are not squishy! Just be nice to yourself...you look lovely, so did Charlie. Hey....My rescue cat is named Charleigh... heh, she's a snotty girl!
High School ..... nope, the brother whom is 13 months older than I, well, he made it all miserable. For years I was nothing but his fat little sister...funny how he married a fried whom was very large.
Time to put the burgers on, the fries in, and freshly picked tomatoes into the olive oil n basil. Life Goes On.
VERONICA, have you seen yourself on " And the Caregiver of the Day Is." ?
That was started by Glad, who is now a flying cow. (Unless she changed again).
You and falcon are both there. Tiny House Movement? I am living it, try 395 square ft. For two. Small here, but at least we do have air conditioning. My hope is to someday have a cleared walkway so I can stop tripping.
Because they are just as likely to answer as my husband would, and as he would be formulating his answer, the caller would hang up.
uuhhh, why did my friend ask me that? Should I be worried?
After my MIL passed she left my husband a decent amount of money and we both owned homes when we married. The land was an abandoned orange grove that was over run with Brazillian Pepper trees. We had a lot of work but we truly feel it was a gift from God. People think we have $$$$, but I laugh because when you have that much land there is always work which costs $$$. I always say we are land rich but cash poor. Maybe one day we will sell the whole lot but I doubt it.
Most of the time the Sun downer stuff doesn't bother me- but tonight... was tough. Dad yelled ...accusing me of taking his mail and I'm good for nothin ...been stealing from him for 10 years and so on. I know it's the disease but it still hurts...My sisters- who I Love and are amazing - are precious in his eyes... ...just sad.. thanks for listening.
Gersh n Send, plus everyone else... I love you guys, truly I do. I had told Lisa ( moms former carer) that if anything ever happened to me, she must get on this website and let others know. We all have enough to worry about in our home life much less someone we care for who disappears on here. SCARY!
Shar, as long as the retirement camp has a pool. I'm down!
Thank you for being so special... you girls mean the world to me.
