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.
She has been chewing my leg all day. Tonight I ask her if she realizes how much I do for her. She said I was supposed to, and that women are supposed to do things for the men when they come in.
No point in trying to reason with it. It's hard to wear all the hats in a house and hear nothing but criticism from a bitter person. I am so grateful that the preacher talked about eternal life today. I stop and think about how h3llish the last 6.5 years have been, but then realize it is just a speck of time. As much as many people hear adore and miss their mother, I feel a bit ashamed that I ask God to please not let my mother be waiting for me on the other side. ACK! AUGH! Let me up. I've had enough. Choke.
Wonderful poster boards all around the room, detailing his life in photos and newsprint.....YESSS....this guy, at 6' 4" was a friggin' "submariner" ...2x....including Korean War....and featured in newspapers
Any way! !,
We all start a new week and hopefully we will survive it!
Yes, we will.
I liked the idea of the songs........ makes sense! Fits just right.
My only cousin said in yesterday's email that she has been in a lot of pain and that we need to Skype Tuesday. She has "something to tell me". Making me a bit edgy. I think it is bad news about her health.
Deep breath.

Mulata,I hope you don't receive bad news.
My whine today is that I look like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.I just washed my face like always and all the skin just came off my nose...What the heck??????
I am married to my FIL!!!!!!!!!!
My SIL confirmed that as she says she is too.
Child, demented, self centered, all the above but to me he is the centre of my world as I am of his.
"Adulting Sucks".
ahhh, the Hors D'oeuvres were magnificent! All that EXPENSIVE champagne, my goodness, they are so so so generous and giving a "happy care giver day", you are just beside yourself.
Just cannot think of how to RETURN the FAVOR!!!
hahahahahahaha
(it really happened, they just forgot)............................... ; ^)

Do weeeee ooooo. Welcome to the twilight zone. She said she wants to cut down our big crepe myrtle so the ground under it will dry. I just planted Begonia and Coleus under it because it gave shade. I asked her please don't call anyone to cut it. I am not in the real world. Beam me up, Scottie.
Very nice that 2 young guys who were reading the same newspaper story about J as a submariner told me, when I questioned how he, at his height, could stand to be in such a cramped space (yet alone, undersea) told me, "Oh, J said, "Very simple....I met my Commanding Officer and I had to look UP at him...he was even taller than me!"....lol...
Such a great guy....I really miss him....
I can't stand him when he is sick because he is such a baby and whines about how I couldn't possibly understand the pain he is in! Really!!! Does he live with me? The last 5 years where has he been?
Any way I couldn't imagine him with dementia! Yikes!
Two of my nieces have already told me that they would care for me if I needed it, but my hope is that I just go quickly quietly in my sleep at a respectable age before I need help. Isn't that what everyone wants?
Boy morbid post, lol. I saw the almost full moon out there.
Any way she finally started responding to me today so hopefully we will see her this week.
Why is it she can call and call incessantly when she doesn't need anything, but she didn't call at all when she really needed help? (Mind you, if she had I might have ignored her, but she didn't) At least she wasn't able to get to the edge of the bed or I might have found her on the floor.
There is a poster on here whose mom is in terrible pain from prolonged illness and a recent fall and broken bones. The family is in disagreement about keeping her doped up on morphine and dilaudin (sic). I refrained from commenting to her post because my initial response would be they haven't given her nearly enough yet :(
It sounds like the tissue was still on the rolls. That's a good thing. I wonder if she was trying to fill the gap between the sofa and wall for some reason. Sometimes my mother stuffs blankets in spaces. I've wondered if it is to keep imaginary drafts and evil spirits penned in.
Thanks for the comments! Maybe mom was trying to hide the toilet paper. She hides random things because the thinks people are stealing them. No matter how many times I tell her that no one is breaking in to steal the paper towels she still persists in this notion. She also thought that someone broke in and left a teapot on her stove. LOL.
