So far this morning , this day doesn't look like it's going to be any better than yesterday. :0(
Hubby woke a number of times to use his urinal. Sometime around four he couldn't get his legs up on the bed, so I got up and assisted him. Five thirty finds him on his POT and somehow he got piss on his pants leg. I took them off and he got back into bed telling me he was going to have to use the POT again and just leave it there. Half hour later he does. He decided he would stay up, so I made his coffee and that's where I am now.................he's sitting up in bed drinking coffee and eating his Lorna Doone cookies.
As I'm emptying out the porta potty pail and deoderizing it I thought back to the other times I have emptied this very same pail. 1986 for my mother. 1997 for my dad .
Before that I emptied the family pail in the winter months when the weather was too cold and weather conditions made travel to our outhouse out of the question. :0( That would have been the years 1946 through 1950. Hip hip hooray............we moved to California and had a working toilet. :0)
Moving on up....to the big time !!!!!!
Randy came yesterday and calked around the A/C he put in. Expected me to just jump up and go get my vegetable plants when he was ready. Physical therapist was here working with hubby and that could not be done. He paced and paced which made me edgy. Noon I threw my purse over my shoulder and we took off to the closest nursery. Once back home I noticed that the Burpless cuke plants I chose from the section that advertized them ....were pickling cukes. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I should have looked at those name tags stuck in the dirt. Won't be the first time, nor the last that I do that.
The rain we are expecting wasn't suppose to be until tonight. Guess what....we have already had showers this morning. I have MUCH TO DO before I can get anything planted. :0( Weed paper isn't down yet.
Maybe I'll feel different when these plants bear fruit, but right now I am thinking store bought this year would have been fine. sigh!
Tracie was already at her parents house at noon. She was cleaning out her mother's car that she has piled to the rooftop with her junk/possessions/treasures ???? Asked me if she could have a cold water to drink. Stopped long enough to hand her one on my way out to the nursery. She was making room in the car for someone to get behind the wheel so she could have it towed to a local garage to see if it is saleable.
Last I looked before dark, it was still there.
Once the sun wasn't as hot I went out to gather what I will need to get this garden planted from the shed .
Guess who shows up again. sigh! Begins to try to help me pull weeds here and there and deadhead flowers. sigh! Mosquitos were beginning to bite and still she hung around. Even with me making waves about not wanting to be mosquito bait. sigh! Only had $5 to eat with. I didn't bite. Loaned her $20 Saturday and have treated her more than once to a meal since I have been back home. She asked me what time today did i want to go to Kohls. With no hesitation I said, 5 ...I want to watch the trial on TV. ( oopsie, forgot it is a short court day. It ends at noon. Oh well.... Five is good. ) Now lets see what time she is at my door. She mentioned she visited someone else ( they have lived here over 50 years ) after she left here the evening before. GOOD! Sorry if I don't sound grateful for her ferrying my arse around. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hubby just questioned me of the time we have to be out of here today. HUH!!! Last night I AGAIN told him it was Friday that he would be seeing his primary doctor.
My train of thought...went POOF! Let me regroup my thoughts.....................................
Tick, tick, tick. I'll be back. This isn't working out. :0(
Moments after trying to collect my thoughts, Jill tells me that the pair of mallards were mating on the pool. They have been coming back every day and some days more than once. We need to change our pool sign to No peeing in the pool to no peeing and no sex in the pool. ;0)
This is the first year that mallards have made it a habit of returning to our pool. Maybe once or twice and never to be seen the rest of the summer.
Today is the last day of school. half a day. Kenny stayed over last night and he and Logan went to school this morning together. At ten p.m. I had to knock on Logan's door and tell them it was time for bed. Jill came out of her room shortly after that and enforced it! :0)
WB came here right around supper time. Jill was cooking for Kenny and Logan. She tells me his parting remark to her was, " call me when you have time for me." She claims it will be a cold day in Hell.
Showers and rain are forecast for the rest of this week. Sunday we will see sunshine. Don't look forward to working in the mud....so I won't. Plants are sitting in Logan's wagon from his little boy's years and will be just fine there.
Hmmmmmmmmmm hubby just managed to make his way into the bathroom on his own. Is that a good sign ??????????
I've eaten my oatmeal with blueberries. Just looking around at my surroundings is depressing. Too much shit! Too much clutter! Every room in my house could use a pantry. I shit you not!
Now hubby is asking for REAL OATMEAL . Argument is ensuing. I shit you not!
Now he's on the mac n cheese I make him being instant too. He likes REAL FOOD and the real stuff that Kraft puts out. You boil the water and cook the elbow macaroni, then add the cheese package. No vitamins in the stuff I feed him, no fiber , blah, blah, blah. No wonder he can't shit. blah,blah,blah He isn't through yet. :0( I'm not giving in either! I shit you not!
He has my B/P up ...... If he keeps it up, I will get in my car and get the Hell out of Dodge! I have just about had his shit.
I need to get an air card??? whatever the heck those things are called that you can use your laptop/ipad anywhere you go ie: car. Find a quiet spot to park and just read/type whatever, without confusion and upsets.
Am I a dreamer .....or what ???????? YEPPER!!!!
That's All Folks!
The ramblings of a mom of 9 by her KIDS that are STILL making her climb walls ,even as adults. Said I DO 3xs and I WANT OUT 2 xs. Have learned there is no such thing as a Rose Garden. My motto is Life Is Too Short To Be Miserable. When the bad outweighs the good it is time to shit can em. Laugh with me or at me, welcome to my world.
I AM WOMAN! Hear me ROAR! February 2012
WARNING !! Not for those with a short attention span. ; 0 )
well maybe running away for a short time isn't such a bad idea...if anybody needs a mental break you be it ♥
ReplyDeleteGentle hugs,
ReplyDelete~♥~
Sounds like you need a hug today, my dear friend. (((Hugs))))

After all you do for him I can't believe he's complaining about food!
ReplyDeleteI think running away for a while is an entirely sensible idea. Have done it many times over the years and over much less than what you are having to put up with.
Hugs from me too.
