the library does not save money. I forget to take the books back in TWO teensy weeks and they get all huffy and ask for cash. Easier to buy used books at the local store.
cousins may not volunteer. I am quite ready to tell them all to go to you-know-where. I have come to terms with this, I think and here are the facts.
1. my mom did not love me ever
2. their mom loved them
3. my mom was kind to them when theirs died so they feel bonded to her
4. when she is gone, they are prepared to take her place as the person who tells me I do nothing right
5. my mother has always been well cared for (not by me but I have no guilt for she has had excellent care) and this horrible thing that's happening will be the last thing that I do that, no matter what I do, will be wrong.
Besides that Hospice has social workers and I have help from one of them in areas where I need not to be the person to make decisions.
Ah, there you are. I sympathize with you on those cousins. Nothing you can do about them (except try not to let them get you down). You know you're doing the right thing, the heck with them.
Ah, Peaches. I'm sorry that these cousin people think they know anything at all about you or your mom or your relationship to her. I can really relate because I kind of have the same thing going with my dad right now. I'm sure lots of ppl think I'm a terrible ungrateful daughter. I know differently. You know differently. Let ppl think what they will. You're a good, loving mom. You know the difference.
THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH PEACHERS!!!--- you are the one who KNOWS what is true---as if you would be in this position if it had not been caused by your mother!!!----anyone can see what kind of mother you are to ds...just like lushie said---when this is finally finished you will be free to be yourself and who cares what the cousins say or think---------------WHAT A DRAG!!!!
Woohoo!! Watermelon margaritas! That sounds great!
I just finished a bag of Flavor Twist Fritos. Bad bad Kiwi. Well, at least it wasn't the big bag.
I have to show you all this picture. I think it is adorable, but it requires a little explanation. To the left are the 3 teenaged girls, sunning themselves near the dunes. At the right is my absolutely adorable niece Audrey, who spotted them and thought she'd toddle on over and see what they were doing. There is a very wide stretch of sand between the shoreline and the dunes, and she never made it all the way over there, she got distracted and came back. I thought it made a classic pic. I did have to blur out the girl on the left because when I zoomed in it looked like she was undoing her top! DD is the bikini bottom on the right.
Yes yes and yes! I am a brat and I was directly on the best beach anywhere... And I want a Florida watermelon.
My parents used to take us to that same beach when we were kids. Back then there weren't so many cottages and we could rent one cheap across the street from the beach. They were pretty pleased when they came up with this house a few years ago, not break-the-bank expensive, but big enough for 3 families and smack dab in the dunes. And they are paying for half of it, my sis and I split the rest.
My Dear Little Daughter is taking her driving test tomorrow morning. Wish her luck; she will need it. We spent half the morning practicing parallel parking.
Later, cowies. gotta get ready for another party. We had our Flawridder friends over last night; going back to the Oregonians' camp tonight for a big bash. This is the most socializing I have done all year, I'm not sure if I can get through it all...
Kiweeee! you know what this means ---- you will have no reason to change out of your jammies all winter. No more hours chauffering.
Yippee skippee. It's friday. And my DD is cleaning my house for me today. I'm paying her for it. Now that she has an apartment she needs extra $$$$$'s. The difference is, now that she doesn't live with me, she doesn't just ask me for it, she asks if she can earn some. Yesterday I had her fill in for me at work, so I actually got an extra day off. I took my mom out to lunch for her birthday (74!!!) and went shopping and generally goofed off. That was the first vacation day I took for as long as I can remember. I think since last August. Unless you want to count surgery recovery as vacation, like my DH does.
