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.
JeanetteB.......oh do I ever know what you're saying there....it never fails when I am my most exhausted ...those are the exact times Mama gets in to one of her off moods....she doesn't have them often...but seems she always chooses the times I am beyond wore out when she is her most fractious.... :)
this seems trivial but my new used saw gave me some guff today . i traded it for something new . about all im makin out of wood cutting is firewood for myself and upgraded equiptment . a used saw is not an upgrade . wont fall for that again ..
My interviewing of a part time CG is ....depressing at most.. She called and cancelled tonight's meet n greet... why? Her charge fell... really? Someday's it's just too much.
You are a dear soul hope
I'd rather give away all I have than barter with people over it. It's just easier.
hope, honey.... you'veo got me googleing gowns... for ME and Mom!!
Shhhh............she finally went to bed and so far isn't worried those people are going to kill her.... I LOVE those nut rolls!! My fave candy bar is the Payday ya know! Salty n sweet..... mmmm
I tell you what you can find all kinds of gowns on the internet...the hospital ones I got Mama are perfect! They are very pretty prints and kind of a seersucker fabric so much more comfortable than the "hospital" gowns...I still use her pretty soft knit ones too but after all the yammering by the bath aids and knowing it is harder and they don't have the time I just gave in and found a buy five get one free deal and so far I am loving those little boogers...very easy care too. I guess I'll be packing them for her "spa" visit...I told her that my brother and I had to go and get all my pretty things to use here and so as we wanted to make sure she was well looked after we were letting her go for a little spa vacation but that she would be back before she knew it. I know there will be some confusion but hopefully not too much and I will make sure she is tucked in Monday and they assured me they would call me and let me know how she is doing on Tuesday..the day of the big move...also if there were any changes in her health I would be notified. I know she will be ok...it's just the worry wart nature of me..
yep...payday is my favorite....I was excited when I found those nut rolls in a bag for a dollar until I realized there were only five little ones in the bag..heck I could have gotten the enormous bar for 65 cents ..heck...oh well....we must be sisters Jeanette.... :)
cindyoh..Mama is sleeping more these days it seems...it scares me sometimes, but when she wakes she seems to feel good so I guess that is the goal...she seems to fare better to let her live on her terms, as long as her needs are met and she is clean and well fed, I am trying to let her "do her own thing" and be here when she needs (or wants) me...
at worst i could be the most innovative , boozemaking sob who ever lived under the white river bridge . this elder is the second most priority in my life after my mother . i have sons , g kids , they need this lesson .
F**K MONEY ..
i know its a necessity but itll come closer to bringing you misery than happiness ..
my sons are watching me more closely than you think ..
BUT i have a 4th load of firewood .. always with the looking ahead ..
mostly when my sons pizz me off .
hymmmmn,
hymmmmn,
F - hymmmn .
lol
I am 100% with you on the money thing. I do know that you need to pay bills and such, but the love of money can cause more trouble in this world than anything else. While my brother was visiting he once again brought up the house, how maybe it would sell (hasn't in almost three years so not holding breath on that one) but it is almost funny to me now that "I" am the one who is losing the house...why is it bothering him so much????? hymmmmmm......there you go cap.....
I think people think I am lying when I say how much I hate focusing on money...that has probably been my biggest downfall in the eyes of "normal" society folk....I don't label success by my bank account balance and that doesn't seem to fly in my circle...so I am not in that circle or any circle now. I kind of live in my own little world...and if someone needs me, I'll be there...but then I'm coming back to my little world....because I don't like all the clutter and drama that lives in the other one...I have always been kind of a loner and the past three years have shown me I am even more so than even I knew...but the way I am is also the reason I am here doing what I am doing, so instead of folks being so critical, they need to just be glad I am the way I am...I'll figure it out as i go along.....I ask nothing of anyone...but I'm here if they need me.,,,unless they have proven to be a selfish "a"...then I may be there depending on who else may be involved or in need......why is it that seemingly knowing what you want and need out of life makes people avoid you like the plague
