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.
One day my Dad's knee was quite swollen, for him it turned out the socks he was wearing to bed were just too tight. After buying him loose fitting at the top socks, he never had the problem again.
I fear she is going to be a huge problem with her stubborness, and worry about my husband's heart condition. I'm worried too after all I have been through in the past with my Mom's long bedridden decline until she passed away 2 years ago. At least my Mom was a good patient and did what was needed. MIL does agree she needs to call doctor today that she saw for the shot last time. She was supposed to return 6 months after the first shot of cortisone and get another but SIL was supposed to handle things and she died of misadventure. Now the test of her getting down those 3 stairs with the 2 of us to help. The trouble with MIL too is we cannot tell how much the pain is real and how much is drama....Another weird thing...she said a week ago that she needed a broom for her garage so I brought one, the garden helper accidently took it so I need to bring another until he can return it....then I go into her basement and see 4 brooms by the bottom of the stairs!!!
Why????
For the grandchildren who are trying to go to college or are married and have very young children, it just doesn't seem right, unless this is a family tradition/culture. Then I worry that when their own parents become older, they are right back doing caregiving.
My old cleaner/ friend was expecting a greatgrandbaby who also has a 2 year old brother waiting. The brother has just turned two and is extremely bright and advanced for his age.
Mom's sonogram revealed the baby was to be female and her name would be Grayson. The older brother kept touching Mom's belly and saying "That's my brother Bacon in there" he was corrected many times but still insisted it was his brother.
Well surprise surprise the baby was a boy!!!!!!
Greatgrandmother is very psychic so it seems elder brother is too.
Edit: Found a video clip of the issue. That didn't last all that long, with the one white horse with rider getting skittish during procession. Was there something else or was that it? Looks like the rider handled the horse very well, I can't imagine reigning in a big horse like that one.
I think it's true to say that nowadays comparatively few cavalrymen (and women) arrive in the army already knowing how to ride. As they say, "if you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined," and what happens if you join a cavalry regiment is that you get given your horse and you are expected to get on with it. And it isn't until you see these horses up close that you appreciate quite how big they are. But you don't last long if you don't get good pretty quickly.
P.S... I chuckled with the image of Viking and what was done to celebrate/honor the Royal wedding.
After being quoted $1,100 to have the stolen moulding replaced on my car, I ordered pancakes eggs and bacon to go to have breakfast with the Viking
Never had such a belly laugh when I enter the dining room aka the crown room to see mom sitting in a rhinestone hat with the royal wedding streaming on you tube
Left in time to run a couple of errands and get home in time to watch the Preakness - what a race in the fog - I hit all my exotic bets and won $1,100!
Don't know if we will have a triple crown in 3 weeks, but I'll be rooting for the hometown boys
As a side note, I was trying to google about that naughty horse everyone's talking about. Here I was thinking it was the rider. I wanted to re-watch it again.... Did you know that Meghan forgot to curtsy to the Queen in the chapel? I didn't realize it.... So I'm re-watching Prince William's wedding to see if Kate Middleton curtsied to the Queen when she walked down the aisle towards William.
The star was the naughty horse.
I was hoping to hear the music used in Masterpiece Theater "Victoria" inside the church. When Prince Albert walked down the aisle a male singer sang out, and when Queen Victoria walked down the aisle, a female singer sang out.
Thought the twin boys carrying the bride's train from her dress were so darling. And it looked like Prince William & Kate's two children were behind the twins. The son was holding hands with his sister and another young girl his sister's age :))
Tear started to come when Prince Harry had Megan by his side, and he was wiping away tears.
After the wedding, the Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, only 19 years old, played beautifully !!
Saw the white horse who wasn't happy with the noise from the crowd. He almost went backwards into a fence. He was one of the two white horses in front of the horses pulling the carriage. Looking from the front, he was the horse on the right.
Then I had to race to get ready for my volunteer work. People were talking about the wedding there, too.
It was soooo nice to see positive news for a change :)
I don’t know enough about horses to know which one was naughty.... Thanks for the tidbits about the horses colors... From the back view, the rider on the left white horse was swaying too much left and right. He looked like he was going to fall off. He was the same rider who was really bouncing the hardest. If his horse is the one you’re talking about... he,he,he.. made his rider look like a newbie.
Sorry CM brings out the British in me.
The Windsor Greys pulling the Ascot Landau carriage were: Milford Haven, Sir Basil, Tyrone, and Storm. The outriders, including the one who had taken a dislike to his rider and kept trying to bolt, were Plymouth and Londonderry. So either Mr Plymouth or Mr Londonderry will not be getting any festively decorated sugar lumps this evening, that's for certain.
The black horses all belong to the Household Cavalry and are more used to the very large crowds.
The ceremonial horse I shall always love best was the white charger who led the Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst. He was so blasé about the whole thing that he was practically yawning and filing his hooves. At the end of the parade the horse has to walk up the steps of the building into the College, and you could almost hear him saying "oh no! - not this again, do I have to..?"
OMG! Just changed the channel. Looks like it is re airing on E! Channel 236 on DIRECTV! Bride is on the way to the Chapel! My schedule for yardwork just came to a halt!
