Out of the blue without any words between us or prompting.....
Jill spent the entire day from early this morning until 6:30 p.m. cleaning the house.
Put the new rug shampooer together. Cleaned the stove top. vacuumed floors and washed the diningroom and kitchen floors. The three rooms she worked in haven't looked this good in a long time. Needs more TLC, but Rome wasn't built in a day. She left awhile ago to go pick up Tracie at the train station and take her to her apartment in Bedford ( Home Of The Minuteman ). Lots of History in that town.
Don't know if Jill plans on returning home right after or not. Time will tell. sigh!
Tracie went to ME for her great nieces 2nd birthday party yesterday and Jill.W.B.Gil and his girlfriend Emily went out on W.B.'s boat fishing and took Cash with them. From noon until after 9 p.m. I worked my tushhie off doing laundry, doing housework and grocery shopping, but not before I took Logan and Kenny with me to Walmart and Game Stop. Wait ! It's coming back to me...left the house at 12:30 and got back at 3. Then I began doing chores. Before they left to go fishing I had asked Jill to ask someone ( Gil, W.B. ) to put together a floor stand fan and it was forgotten. Sooooooooooo I said to myself....why should you be the only one upset about this and I called her cell phone. Just to let her know she forgot to do that...of course. ;0) Who am I shitting...IT WAS A DIG! Excuse.....she forgot in trying to get everything together for the boat excursion. She told us later that Cash did not like the boat AT ALL. Green was the word she used and he spent most of the time under a dampened towel on the floor and in her arms shivering with fright when the boat went at a good clip for speed.
Dog out from under my feet, I was able to move about this house to get THINGS ACCOMPLISHED without the fear of stepping on him or falling over him.
Hubby has been peeing ALOT! I think he is over whatever ailed him with that . :0) Also that fungal rash is cleared up too. Now to get his sinus' under control. He even took a short stroll in the backyard yesterday.
Mary a long time ago friend, but more of an aquaintance stopped by yesterday. I had asked her daughter Robin that lives in back of me ( it was Mary's home once ) how her mother was. Mom is Mom ,she said. One minute she hates everyone, another she doesn't. Agreed with me that she sees Alzheimers. sigh! I walked her out to her car. OMG! Another Tracie....with the hoarding only her car looked sort of organized. Stuffed toys piled. She drives around going through peoples trash...just like Tracie. Noticed new damage on her Mercury. A retired cop hit her, but she is getting the blame. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm who was really at fault I will not know, nor is it my concern.
She always was an agressive driver.
Thankfully she knows not to wear her welcome out . :0) It was a short break for me and then back to cleaning. She again told me that she only has narrow paths from room to room in her house. Boxes floor to ceiling and DEEP!
My Cheryl, her husband Dana, Trevor, Shayla and her new boyfriend John came and visited for a little over an hour today. We adults sat out in the back yard while Jill continued to do whatever chore she was doing at the time. A few times Cher got aggitated over some of my suggestions and most any comment that her husband made about her son from her first marriage ,Danny. I saw her bristle at anything that Dana spoke of.
While she did admit that he is an alcoholic she was quick to tell how loving, etc. he was. Danny suffers a seizure when he tries to cut drinking cold turkey and again when I mentioned med's for that I got slammed that drugs were poisoning people. She was taking Traminol for her arm pain and experience odd things such as her body shaking where her brain told her to get down on the floor before she went DOWN. Quit that med three weeks ago and has had nausea off and on ,day and night ever since. I dared to mention POT that I know she uses. All huffy, huffy she got. Doesn't know of anyone that has died from POT and...it's her DRUG OF CHOICE. Without it she would have slit her throat years ago......her words....NOT MINE!
So what do you say to that...without getting her going off on a tangent. I didn't. I didn't need IT!
Sombay called me this evening too to ask if I was having a cookout. She and my son Larry would have come if I was. Nope, not this year. Just relaxing. No plans. Feel some GUILT, but not enough to matter. ;0)
To end my evening Tracie came and hung around over an hour to tell me how her weekend went. As soon as I heard her voice I thought ....Holy EFF. NOoooooooooooooooooo. Jill had taken her home and she got into her car and came almost right behind her. sigh!
Jill had come home, showered and put pj's on. Yeah, I thought for sure she would get dressed and go out too. Glad I was wrong. This day has been a nice change.
Logan went to dads house earlier. Young Gil and his girlfriend came to pick him and his friend Kenny up.
Dad's flight got in tonight at 7:30 p.m. from Korea and his step mom 's flight arrives at 11p.m. tonight.
Dad's been gone a month in Korea and wants to play " Family Man ".
Young Gil told his mother that Julie's mom said the house looked like a pig pen. He let her know that each time she comes to visit from FL that they have to clean the house pretty much 24 hours straight before her arrival. Phew! I thought mine was bad. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Food for thought here.
I shit you not! Once again their house was infested with fleas and he had to spend $40 of his own money to set off bug bombs to get rid of them before Julie's mom came back from her sons in CT this week.
Scratch, itchy, itchy. Hope they made it up that flight of stairs to the Master bedroom. ;0) I'm not shitting you...EITHER !!!!
Listening to fireworks going off all over the neighborhood and I'm yawning.
Looking forward to tomorrow, especially if it was like today. A day above ground is better than one below in my book. Maybe together Jill and I can clean the center of my bedroom rug where the dogs stop to pee on their way out to pee OR just pee for The Mell Of It. . Oh and lest I forget...hubby's side of the bed where he has been accident prone as of late.
From my casa to your casa ....have a great and safe 4th.
I may not write tomorrow. Depends.
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
