:0( Will those of us that didn't upgrade before then....be eradicated?
I ....for the life of me can't figure out why they are screwing with something that WORKS! I have never contacted them with a complaint about their format.
WE have No Choice .....NO VOICE!
.....so what's new! Decisions have been made for us from the moment we took our first breath of air and it will go on until we take our last breath. :0( That's JUST THE FACTS,mamm!
Tracie came last night sounding worst with her cold than she has been. Told me she didn't plan on going out as she was THAT SICK, but had to put $400 down on her storage units bill. The woman that operates the place was threatening to throw her stuff/shit out. NOW, I ask myself why she borrowed $50 from me the other day to fill her gas tank. It was on E. NO, I wasn't stupid enough to buy her another meal last night. I handed her the pan and spoon with hubby's leftover Kraft mac n cheese and once she drove off ( with 3 bottles of water to save her from having to go into a store )I drove the half mile ( straight shot ) to McD's and got myself one of those $1 specials ( Dbl something or other) and fries. Only missed the first dancers competing on Dancing With The Stars. YAY!
I will say....that at least 3xs Tracie has bought a 35 pack of water for this house in the last 3-4 years. Has drank more than that....but that's minor. I can see that money is going to be a problem. Surely saying NO to her should be easier than saying NO to my kids. SERIOUSLY...I have a mucking problem saying NO! sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Some of my own kids take advantage of me........take for instance, last night. Jill asked me if I had any more gift cards for Chinese food. I don't. She wanted Chinese fried rice, Logan wanted shrimp sauce and Crab Rangoon and I can't remember what Gil wanted. Had a $50 and handed it to her. Haven't seen the change from the $50 yet, but I can assure you that THERE WAS CHANGE! Furthermore...there is plenty of food stuff in this house. I shit you not! Why is it that I can make WAVES to you here and only Ripples to my kids ??? I'm a SICK PUPPY, I tell ya!
It will slowly BUILD and I will eventually BLOW STEAM....all for naught!
RIGHT ON, Maxine! RIGHT ON!
Woke minutes after four this a.m. :0( Stayed up an hour and THEN got myself another hour of sleep. :0)
Called my brother Larry last night around seven. Didn't care if I had company...or not! It's been months. We make it a point to talk to each other on our birthdays in March. I call him on the 8th and he calls me on the 21st. After that...we lose track of each other. :0( Emails went unanswered a few years back. Then he tells me he don't read them, to post stuff on his Facebook page. Now he tells me he doesn't do facebook anymore. WTF is a sister suppose to do! He's 70....we are not Spring Chickens anymore. You can TAKE THAT TO THE BANK! ;0)
His feet, calves and hands are doing the same cramping as mine. Must be in our genes ;0)
He's raising chickens...had to end our conversation to go lock them up for the night and I'm raising a pair of mallard ducks that think my pool is the greatest thing since they learned to fly. ;0)
They come every day.... at least three times.
Heard the rain a few times before I fully woke and it's raining still.
Butchie stopped in last night..... had more words to say to Jill, but the F word he threw out every so often didn't soften her. He got nowhere with her and LEFT!
Ya know what? I'm proud of myself! I stayed out of the stores yesterday. Yay me!
Let's see if I can REPEAT THAT.
Scale reads 172.7 this morning. Looks like I'm throwing my money out the window paying for Weight Watchers. While 172.7 might not sound like much to some people, I am 5 ft 7 in tall and while my pictures may not reflect my weight.... I'm OVER-WEIGHT! Oh sure.....I was the mother of seven children and weighed 130 at age 30 when I met hubby, but I'm not foolish enough to think that 130 would look anywhere NEAR as good on me, as it did in "the good old days." One hundred and fifty or one hundred fifty five is more sensible..... with flabby skin and wrinkles. ;0) I just like to fuss with myself when I eat....OVEREAT ...things that pack the pounds on. I've been doing a good job of that as of late. When I'm ready to get serious again........ I WILL. MAKE THAT...as soon as I have trouble fitting into my clothes. :0) Actually my scale has been kind to me ....I was 169 three weeks ago and I've been BAD for three weeks. Our leader at W.W.'s is having a loose a pound a week contest until July 4th. GUESS WHO is loosing that contest. Ask me...if I care! I mustn't cause I just grabbed a slice of banana bread to go with my morning coffee.
Think I'll break and check cabinet shelves for what I have to make meals and what I don't have. Maybe I'll feel domesticated and make a meal or two in the near future. Either way...the shelves need to be arranged.....not like it's pressing, but seems one of the easiest things to do. Cleaning the bathroom would rate at the highest level, but that takes more effort than I have to give. NO EXCUSES...It is what IT IS! I AM LAZY! There are TWO WOMEN in this house.....and it's always been ME that breaks down and does it. :0( Age 50 versus age 75. Something is VERY wrong with this picture. If you are reading this some day Jill, you know who I am referring to. sighhhhhhhhhhh
The V.A. never answered my calls. What a system! :0( I'll give it another go around today. Good thing hubby isn't out. You can bet they know that too or just don't care.
It will be a good time to grocery shop if they call to say I can pick the med up.
Reading over this post it seems like I've made it into a BITCH SESSION!
I need to put as much effort into cleaning my house as I do bitching, BUT ...I won't! Gray skies, rain.....I feel like I'm half awake. I'm not happy with myself, my situation and my personal life.... reflects it. :0(
I can sure pick these things out....can't I. Applying them is a horse of a different color. I shit you not!
(((hugs)))
That's All Folks!
when it rains, who wants to clean house..? rainy weather is for hot tea and a good book.
ReplyDeleteI don't get that on my blog, I wonder if I upgraded and don't know it, ha, ha. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteI remember that show. And yes, I get the same thing on my blog. Thought I'd hold onto the old for as long as I can. Now you got me thinking.
ReplyDeleteMary
can't say no either and your right, the more we do the more is expected. I personally think Jill should tackle the bathroom more....it's 3 of them and only you and hubby once in a while.
ReplyDeleteTry not to be so hard on yourself Pat, I know it's what we do as mothers but enough is enough. I think it's a bit low that Tracey is sponging off you now as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you your situation but I love your blog. It makes me realize I don't have anything important to piss and moan about.....I shit you not!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat last little "sign?" Oddly enough, that is what I talked about with my therapist today regarding my daughter. She said just do what you do with no expectations. That way you won't be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about what you blog about. This is our outlet. I know I need it for that very reason.
Now say some prayers that my laptop will start letting explorer open the web page.
I thought our blogs were for bitching. Their not? Well I've never been good at following rules anyway! Really Tracy spends 400.00 on her storage? Tell her to sell some of that junk and pay her own bills. That's crazy, how can anyone have that much junk?
ReplyDeleteI understand about not being able to say no to your kids, my older ones don't ask for money just me constantly doing things for them etc. Which I wouldn't mind but sometimes-like today I need to just be still. I need to say no to them more too.
