ME TOO STORMY!
I always thought I was odd, because I loved scary movies all my life. But, I noticed that as I get older I cannot take the "gore" like SAW either. My Mom is still living with me, and her severe dementia does not even allow her to watch TV. So, treasure your moments and memories with your Mom hiding her eyes from the scary stuff. I just wish my Mom could interact with me or watch TV with me. She was my best friend my entire life, and I feel such a loss even though she is still alive.

Let's all remember that tomorrow is the BIG DAY.........and everyone watch for "breaking news" out of Texas...........

Hubby had a rough morning.......had to get up early and get the puppies to the vet for shots. After everything was done, he went to the car while I paid the bill. I found him sitting in the seat looking at papers from the breeder, and he says to me,"The puppies weren't born in May, they were whelped!"...........whatever......guess that is his new word for the day.............

Next wk is my birthday and 12 yr wedding anniversary but a very busy wk. I have to walk to the school to drop off paper work to get my son enrolled for either prek or kindergarten. My daughter is in split class they merged the first and second grade students together. I am also very tired and still have to find paperwork from insurance to pay off loans and then they are sending my husband a hospital bed. TG someone understood my concern when i Mentioned his seizures btw its freaky now somewhat; he is seizures bd enough to be called status epiluticus which is very bad. He loves to argue with me about seeing a neuro...somehow I got it to make it work with a new job and the kids& looking after his needs& getting him to his appts etc. I am just plum tired and wore out. I now have to start waking up at 6:30 am and going to bed much earlier than I use to but not really lol...its gonna be an interesting year.

Seeme...i think i "whelped" on my kids for many years....it's not a bad thing...LOL..

I have, yet another dog story for all of u...except it isn't about Lily....Do i hear sighs of relief from the cyber crowd????

Ok...well i am the proud "grandma" to my kids dogs...lol...they r pure bred Lhasa Opso's n , i do admit...proud or not...i refer to them as "lotsa ass-holes..." Sometimes, they jst deserve it... My son's dog is a male, named Gus....He has the most unique n beautiful sapphire blue eyes, n his personality it the best...My son called to tell me that Gus had a very bad eye infection, but didnt kno wen he would b able to get him to the vet. So...grandma to the rescue...i took Gus to the vet this morning, with his eye completely red n oozing...disgusting.......n the Dr. enters the room to start the exam. He started off by putting drops in his eye that made it numb so he could get a good look at it.....As he's examining him..he suddenly notices something sticking out of his tear duct..He proceeds to grab at it, n it was about 1/2 inch long FOX TAIL lodged in the duct. I couldnt believe it....n the dr. said in all his years as a vet, he's never seen a fox tail work its way into such a tiny hole....i felt so bad for the lil ass-hole...i mean....Gus....anyway...he cleaned out his eye really well n sent me home with eyedrops, n the appt cost $100.22!!!! WTF.....Well...i'm keeping my grandson here with me tonite, bcuz he n Lily r having a great time together....On top of that...i have dad here with me bcuz my mom had a serious meltdown this morning n wanted dad away from her....i feel so bad for my dad...he feels so ashamed of himself...but i've been hanging out with him, talking politics, n feeding his sweet face...Wat a day! I'm not sure if mom will let him come home today, so he might b staying the nite, too...oh well....the more, the merrier!!

I'm starting to feel the earth rumble over here in CA....COWBOY'S in for a caregiver's ass-whoopin, n he's still got to sell that vacuum...on sale!!!

Ladee...wear shoes that match this trip.....u can kick ass better wen ur feet r balanced...lol.....hug all

Well shoot, I lost my post. I shall persevere:

Stormy: Happy Birthday to you. You are such a good person and I hope your BD is a happy one.

Seeme: I love everyone of your puppy stories, every single one. I am so happy that you and your husband can share the laughter and love your new fur babies have brought into your lives. My husband and I do the same thing every day with our 2 dogs.

Beck: You crack me up!!!! I am so grateful to you for taking the little ass hole, eh, I mean Gus, to the vet. Oh my gosh, that must have been so painful for him. I'm sure he is so appreciative of his GM coming to his rescue. So am I!!!!

Cowboy: The clock is ticking and your time is running out. Your destiny hangs in the balance of those remaining hours between now and the next sunset. You poor sucker, you have no clue that so many are perched at their computers, waiting to see what door you choose. Will it be Door #1 Ladee gets a new vacuum cleaner. Door #2 No new vacuums arrive so you sell Ladee the floor model at a discount. Door #3 Bad choice. Your misfortune brings Hoover into a new product line.

Peach, maybe u have watched too many Chuckie movies. : ) I am not a security blanket person, but I'm more like Austin, the cat talker except they r my younging n yes they probable think I am crazy, oh well. I like watching scary movies but those Freddie Kreuger movies got to me where now when I go to bed I have to have my feet at least covered up so he don't crab them with those steel looking creepy fingernails when I fall asleep. ; 0
Bookworm, I am glad your nephew took care of the doll situation for that was to do that for you to give u some peace of mind.
Brandy, I have my small Bible too but had to get me a teenager bible to understand it n it has colorful pictures. Hey, if it works it works.
Yes, i got my beatens by my mom when I was young n it was with a belt or peach switch n that damn thing hurt n left wept marks n she didn't know how to stop once she got started. Tore my legs up n I have had a boot throwed at me n busted my nose because I didn't make the baby formula bottle correctly for one of my younger sibs for her. I guess she may have been drunk?
Anyway, like Ladydee mention, "Here we are... loving, living, honoring, and being present for each other... so guess they didn't beat the "good" out of us." I like that saying for it is soooooooooooooooooo true.

Sounds like there's a sleep over at Beck's - too bad you couldn't keep poor Gus for the night too so he could get more GM sympathy! Sorry to hear your parents had a rough day, but love your attitude :) Hugs.
I have a visual of these two dogs (Lilly and Dyna) wearing cowboy boots and hats and backing up our Ladee on Tuesday. Even without the dogs, the salesman is in for it if he doesn't produce that vacuum. I'm not sure Texas will be big enough for him to hide if he doesn't!
Stormy - Happy, Happy Birthday! He's what I think about the Kick *ss attitude. It comes from my own experience and I'm about the same age as you. I rarely if ever used it growing up. So when I did, it was like a volcano errupting. And it scared me - how could I be like that? So mad and just thinking about myself and how I felt. Then I was afraid to errupt again. But now I've come to realize that I have to use it or truely loose it. And the first few times, I made a sorry fool of myself. But you know what? I got over it. Mostly. I may never get to where Ladee is, but every once in awhile, I can Kick *ss. And so can you. The worst that will happen is that someone may not like you for awhile - so what! So next time you need to KA, I'll be right there with you in your head, cheering you on all the way. That's my Birthday present to you. Hugs.
Thanks to all of you for the kind words and encouragement for my friend right now. The funeral is next week Monday/Tuesday. The third load of filthy curtains is in my dryer. And the house looks a hell of alot better than it did before this weekend. We had a cleaning brigade yesterday and many hands made light work. His Dad told me he loved all of us for helping. Almost made me cry.
And I am never leaving the house again without checking both my shoes!
Goodnight, and better tomorrows.

Newscast Monday night at 10pm. Texas Wall Mart.

Well, it sounds like the crowd is chanting Door #3. Yes, as the back story of this event has been filled in, viewers have become disenchanted with Cowboy and his pathetic need to follow store policy. Americans have had it with policy and they want an ass kicking.

The cries have become particularly loud from the many Wall Mart shoppers who have been held up to world wide ridicule for continuous fashion indiscretions The fact that this pissed off care giver was wearing two different shoes and had to listen to the ineffective Cowboy bring it to her attention has sent a call for solidarity across the nation.

A crowd of cross dressers together with a contingency of blood thirsty onlookers have started to fill the Wall Mart parking lot in anticipation of tomorrow's drama. Among the blood thirsty was a woman who was yelling, "Just kick his ass now, even if you get the vacuum." She was holding a little dog with a patch over it's eye. By her side was a snarling Golden Retriever wearing a weave. This woman was also seen lying down in the parking lot, playing dead.

Not one to miss an opportunity to capitalize on this national revenge saga is a mobile T-Shirt company who has set up business in the parking lot. The "Fuck you, I'm a Caregiver" shirts are selling like hotcakes.

One group in the crowd was wearing spring loaded tennis shoes, blue tights and tuna cans. They called themselves the Kick Ass Girls and yelled that it is about fucking time that care givers, even those who dress badly, get the respect they deserve. The leader of the KAG's was demonstrating the pounce of the tree ninja while a fellow sister demonstrated the Falcon Punch.

The Hoover company has called for their Research and Development team to be on site for tomorrows showdown.

Yes, I couldn't want to be Cowboy. One way or another, there's a can of Woop Ass with his name on it.

Well, that's the latest from this Texas Wall Mart parking lot. Tune in for further updates and uninterrupted coverage beginning tomorrow at 8 AM.

Ladee, when you get ready to kick some ass you'll think of us and laugh til you pee in your pants. If cowboy is stupid enough to advise you where the depends isle is, however, you'll be right back on track. We stand behind you in spirit, armour on, shields up, swords raised! Kick some cowboy ass!

Cat, when you get home, can you write this all up into an article? I think NY TIMES would publish. They recently ran a great piece on caregiving "Raising Children and Bringing Down Parents". If not NYT, somebody would grab this one up! You're a great writer! Hugs to all! Kimbee
