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.
If your brother is working two jobs, then he doesn’t have time to take mom.
If you find it is becoming too much for you to continually run around with your mom, tell your brother and your mom this.
Your mom can hire someone as a companion. I know a woman who did companion work for an older woman. It worked out well.
She took her to doctor appointments, hair appointments, grocery shopping, out to lunch or dinner, etc.
My youngest daughter is terrified of spiders. Several years back, a spider got into her car when she was leaving our home.
She noticed the spider when she was driving on the interstate and freaked out.
So, she pulls off and drives into a gas station and begs the employee to please get a spider out of her car. LOL 😆
Thankfully, the guy working at the gas station got the spider out of her car.
She called us before she pulled over to the gas station and was having a full blown panic attack.
Gershun,
I am with you. The flies are a pain if they come inside.
ITRR,
Interesting, about the pennies. I wonder why it works.
Golden,
I hope the rest of your day goes well.
Nacy,
I hope your mom feels better soon. Is your brother retired or still working?
In our area, Council on Aging provides shuttle buses to and from doctor appointments.
I always took Mom to the doctor because she couldn’t hear well and I needed to be there. She had one ear that she wasn’t able to get a hearing aid for. The other ear could only be helped slightly with a hearing aid.
Another thing that really works is to put a few bright, shiny pennies in a ziploc bag and hang it by the door. Keeps them out of the house great.
Moths and cedar spray really does work. I keep it on the door frames of the closets and they don't, so far, get into the closets.
Just some ideas from a person that doesn't do bugs in my space and will do just about anything to keep them away.
Good luck being rid of the pests.
Golden, one of those days! Hugs!
My bright spot was the groceries were delivered on time this afternoon and for the most part were what I wanted.
I am enjoying the brightness of having no blinds. The plants will love it!🌿🌱☘.
We've tried DE and recently started spraying cedar oil cause I've heard it will deter them from entering your domain. Before anyone says anything I know there are those who think it's useless but I'll try anything at this point.
There are so many flies this year too. Outside on our patio. I have to do a bug check every time I open the door. Summer sucks in a lot of ways. :P
Outside on the front porch, many spider webs, I had to duck to get back in.
Told dH about it, he was oblivious, standing in the web.
I am realizing that I can no longer task my dH with a lot of things, both of us needing a break.
What that "break" looks like at my house, is me doing what he was doing so he can have a break.
Outside temps are in 3 digits now.
Instead of sweeping spiders, maybe decorating early for halloween with more spider webs. That way, no one will come up to my door, lol. I am just sick.
Hint...I'm not one of them.
Thats sad about the little boy
Thanks . He wasn’t going very fast . He made the right turn off our block and alittle ways down the deer just ran out , hit the front right passenger corner . It’s a big heavy sedan but still dented the hood , broke the bumper , lights. , dented the quarter panel and bounced off the front passenger door , denting it and left literal sh*t on the door .
We love that car because it’s big and heavy and safe with a lot of trunk space .
Our other car is a small SUV . Which is handy for taller items that can’t fit in the trunk .
We keep ours a long time . My son just sold my 20 year old car that he bought from us 10 years ago . He used that most of the time and kept his little sports car in his garage. But now he has his wife’s ( newer) old car , she got a brand new one . He works from home anyway . He’s not putting a lot of miles on his cars .
I never envied the girls with big boobs. I had a friend who had them and I'm sure no guy if asked could have told you what color her eyes were. Just saying.😶
😂😂😂.
Black Cherries are back already. I recommend them for dropping a few pounds directly into the toilet! I cannot resist almost any fruit at this point, but mangos and cherries? Well, add a glass of keifer to that and you are set free.
As one who had one breast removed 35 years ago, and a good deal of the other just a couple of months ago, I feel I have little to contribute here other than that my daughter -- after years of pain--had a reduction two decades ago and is thankful to this day she did so. I, as an RN who saw all the ones that "went wrong" voted against, but as with so much in life, my vote just didn't count. Happily for her, for it all went really beautifully, figuratively and literally.
She went ahead iwith it at the age of 17. She became quite an athlete and was a happier person. It made a huge difference to her life. I was a nervous wreck about giving permission and second guessed myself a lot before the surgery but it turned out for the best.
I’m assuming the cousin on lay -a-way didn’t get one done at a time . 😂😂😂😂
Two cousins got boob jobs - one paid on lay-a-way!
Good luck Bundle and anyone else trying to stop stress-eating!
That’s funny!
My first bra was a 28 triple A! I begged my mom for it! LOL 😝
I remember that some of the girls stuffed their bras with tissue or socks under their school uniforms. I hated our Catholic school uniforms!
I took my allowance to buy blush and lipstick at the drugstore and my dad made me wash my face! I am sure that I looked like a clown because I hadn’t applied makeup before.
The worst thing though is when I asked mom to let me shave my legs. She said no. I went into the bathroom and I didn’t know to use soap and water. I took my dad’s razor to my dry leg and sliced it from my ankle to my knee!
Mom was furious with me but said, “Let me show you how to do it the right way.” Blood was dripping everywhere. She had to bandage my leg. I think she got the message that I really wanted to shave my legs.
She wasn’t strict about my clothes. I had the micro mini skirts because Goldie Hawn wore them on Laugh In! LOL 😝
We didn’t do the pink, purple or blue hair like our kids wanted. My youngest did pink for a while. My oldest had the blue!
