Painful, but a lot of hope…
Sometimes in our lives, we all deal with painful situations. Sometimes, we try to divert the pain into other channels. Me, I always try to think positive. Sometimes, I try to mask pain. Sometimes, I talk about anything and everything EXCEPT what pains me. Well…this is not going to be a post about what pains [...]
Domestic Saturday…
Today dawned with the promise of another day, and the promise of it being HOT. I had my agenda all ready. I’m having guests come over for the rest of the weekend, so my plan, was to shape up my house and do all those Domestic Goddess things, that I do at the Farmer’s, to [...]
Friday in my life….
Today is Friday, and while all of the working world is going WOOHOO, they have a 3 day weekend. Well, I do not. But it’s ok. I arrived this morning at the Farmer’s house, and he was having some computer problems. I checked in on Momma and she was softly snoring, so I knew she [...]
Meltdown is over…..
I have decided in the wake of my last meltdown, I am taking myself and my situation far to seriously. Although, I tend to have meltdowns, they don’t happen very often, well…ok, not as much as they used to. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own day-to-day living that we tend to forget [...]
Snark Attack…
I don’t do it very often, and I probably should not do it now, but I am seriously “snarky”, and I’m not even sure that is the right word. I’m mad, nothing in particular but everything in general. I’m mad that Parkinson’s has robbed my Momma, of dignity, the ability to do things for herself. [...]
It’s been a Sleepy Monday….
While I am extremely tired for some unknown reason today, I am kinda happy. This morning dawned, and we had some rain last night and it was a little crisp. The shorts I had laid out got replaced by a pair of jeans. I drank my coffee, and got ready to roll. On the drive [...]
Busted….oops….
If you can’t tell by the title, the Electrician and I got busted today. You see, we have a “kiddie” pool in the backyard, and we REALLY did buy it for the grandkids. However, all summer last year, I would lay on a float in the kiddie pool, when it was hot and I wanted [...]
Say Hello to my little friend….
The Electrician and I decided we would grill out burgers today. Folks, it’s hot here in Central Illinois, today we reached 91′. WOOHOO. While it is only May, and it might mean we are going to have a scorching summer, the yard will burn up and the garden might flounder, I’m sorry, I’m a warm [...]
Caregiving….what it means to me.
Quite a few people have asked me, “Why do you take care of your Mother, instead of putting her into a Nursing Home? Then, there was the other question, “Why did you take your Momma OUT of the Nursing home?” Then the other question “You must be a Saint or a hero or something to do [...]
A week of changes..
This week has been all about changes. My schedule has drastically changed and now I have to find another routine to get into. Wednesday was the last day to “officially” babysit the Grandbaby. So, now I don’t get to see him on a day-to-day basis. That kinda sucks. But, we have made arrangements that I will [...]
