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.
Told Dad to try the Chex gluten-free cereals, got him honey nut rice and he really likes that. And told him not to have toast after his cereal, apparently my parents would eat both at breakfast. Of course Mom doesn't like any change in her cooking, she thinks a little bit of anything one is allergic to won't bother them.... [sigh]. Dad is also dairy intolerant, he does like the Lactaid milk. Mom can't understand why Dad gets an upset stomach after eating ice cream.... hello, it's diary. Again with "well, a little bit won't hurt him"..... [banging head against wall].
Found at the grocery store some wheat-free Oreo type cookies, made by Glutino, that tasted like the real thing.... now Dad won't be tempted to get into Mom's stash of Little Debbie products :)
I am off my sleeping tabs nearly 3 weeks was doing well until last night so at 5am i took one of mums?
Yeh i know the feeling of doing ALOT and nothing has been done!!!!
personally i dont agree with anti-depressants for me i think excercise and a good diet work better for me but thats me if you think they made you feel better then go back on them.
I hesitated again today to ring my doc and ask for more sleeping tabs but i want to hold off another while i really dont want to get dependant on them?
Mum went to bed earlier now shes in the kitchen making scones??????? its 1am here im off all wheat and i can smell that lovely baking smell?? is she doing this to annoy me?
Yep shes diabetic has taken her sleeping pill about an hour ago and is up baking cakes? as long as she gets up the stairs ok thats all i can do?
I just have to let it all go over my head and HOPE tomorrow i achieve SOMETHING!!
Hugs hope life will get better GULP!!!!!!!!!
Hope.... honey, you've got to get back on the meds. I tried to stop them months ago. I had a full blown breakdown within the week. It's not fair on you or mom . I found it only compounded even the smallest of stress. Please take care of yourself first so you can come out of this feeling accomplished. So sorry you are dealing with all of this.... not easy by far.
Yep it is legal as all h*ll in several states. After reading several articles on medical marijuana and Alzheimer's I am seriously considering talking to her Dr. Transformed them from combative agitated people to happy smiling people. Lots of studies from reputable places back it up. I'd love to turn her frown upside down!!
Mums gone to bed shes bored! yipee some meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee time! can watch "americas Dark secrets" now in peace!!
Will google that now also!
A couple of elder men I know both smoke it. They're in their mid to late 60's and swear by it. They are brothers. They both caregived for their mother whom passed a year ago. They are so fun loving, kind, great cooks and make you laugh. Mom loves them cuz they dance with her. Hmmm..... yep, I must admit I have thought about it. I would ask her doc about it first though...plus her appetite is dwindling and having munchies wouldn't be a bad thing for her!! LOL
Well sallie once all this crap in my life is over im gonna die happy preferably while im having sex now thats the ultimate way to go!! "if you wake up feeling youve had it...........be grateful" LOL
