D D My yesterday

as of 3 p.m. , Saturday June 12th
Rained off and on .....
Housework done.....................zilch, nadda!
Did do a little ironing. Hubby said he thought all clothing now was wrinkle free....NOT!
Got caught up in reading blogs, blogs and more blogs.
Had to force myself to get out...I shit you not!  Or was that guilt? lol
One..ish hubby made a little noise about being hungry.
Rose up off my arse and made him and I hash browns from scratch, bacon and eggs.
We don't eat fried eggs, bacon and hash browns very often................did before we knew or listened to our concience that fried foods were not good for the heart and arteries....oh..and  the extra pounds gained.
Don't care for the grating of potatoes, even less for the fine grating of potato pancakes ( Platski's) as my dad called them.
Figured what the hey..........little waves from hubby deserved  appreciation.
pat,pat,pat. 

   Remembered also that I didn't give credit where credit was due to my daughter Jill.
She handled Logan's down in the dumps  ( no March 15th birthday cell phone from dad as promised)Thursday evening admirably.
Told him that he must know that his dad likes to jerk people around a little and he probably will surprise him when he gets home Friday.  Told him not to wear his heart on his sleeve.......don't let him know it bothers you. Told him that's why she tells him no instead of making promises to him that she can't keep...
All in a nice calm voice.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr what I was wanting to say, but held my tongue, but my mind was working.
He has money for airfares, he has money for fancy hotels and 10 days in Mexico, he has money for etc., etc., etc.
When Logan said his brother had a nice cell phone when he was little.............wanted to tell him he wasn't his dad's favorite child.   At age 5 he voiced this to us....
Being the adults, we all keep our mouths shut as should be the case. 
The one person reading this that knows the puke and his family will agree with me. He's a puke and so are his parents .  Gil lll is his favorite...The first born son.
Jill was not even allowed to correct this child when they lived together as a married couple.
How well I remember the hissy fits he threw when she wouldn't give him his way as a 2 year old...
I hate you, I hate you he would scream.
Now he is close to his mother.  Wonder what kind of child he would have become if they didn't divorce.
No I don't.  I shit you not!

   Barring no more ( before I forgets) I will step away until tomorrow.

Sunday, June 13, 2010

   The rain continued...........and I was in and out of blogs all new to moi.
Joined Ravelry...it's free.    Just what I need is more patterns....lol..NOT!
These things make my heart go pitter-pat.   I shit you not!
So many talented, creative people.
  Jill came home with soaked sneakers and socks , sporting a blister.........changed her clothes and left...sigh!
From what I gleaned from her, the hosts of these cook outs had awnings/tents, but there was nothing to get under while unloading and loading the truck she drove there.
Don't think that where she was headed to after work she would need to be on her feet.
.Just needed to be able to bend her elbow.  sigh!
   Around 8 p.m. I called my friend Nancy in AK... Was 4 there, so I thought I'd catch her before she began making her evening meal.  More and more I am finding out that our husbands are very much alike. sigh!
Since his stroke he has become more and more demanding of her......and UGLY.
Mind you, he is not a complete invalid. Can use one arm and walk with a walker. Showering she has to help him with. Was told not to drive, but he is sneaking..
He wanted his lunch earlier yesterday and she was out working in their vegetable garden. Nancy has a BIG garden. She cans and freezes vegetables to last them through the winter months.
If I haven't said it before.........we are so unlike each other...........her the pioneer type woman and moi takes that as far as camping. lol  She has no interests ....such as knitting,crocheting. Never learned anything about a computer.  sigh! That's a BIG SIGH!  We could chat away and do emails as often as we liked.
She has raised a cow and helped to cut the meats off it.   Not even on my best day would I do that.
Has shot and killed big game and cut the thing up to put food on the table for her kids.........I'm not squeemish...I just can't kill. Then again, I haven't had to make a choice,,,,,feed my kids or............
Told me wild rabbits are getting in her garden....shot off a b b gun at them and they just stood there.
Got her 22 out and fired it...they just kept chomping away...next will be the shot gun.
Told her as long as I don't see it...do what you gotta do.
She has promised me if I ever get to visit her in AK she won't shoot anything while I am there.
That's what friends are for.....   : 0 )
Hubby's care takers while he was hospitalized told her that hubby could do more than he let on and not to fall victim to his demands. 
She found her voice and told him that he was perfectly able to put the chopped meat on crackers that he wanted for lunch.                  She has since got the silent treatment.  Been there many times in the past myself. Even to being locked out of our bedroom for a night.
They have had seperate bedrooms for years, so he can't pull that stunt on her at least.
What she can do, that I know nothing about is take part in building a house. She is familiar with all tools and how to use them. When she was a janitor at a school in AK she could work an industrial floor buffer as well as a man could.    Oh...at first the men gave her the wrong info and jerked her around on how to operate it, but quickly saw she was determined to learn after a few bad starts from the wrong info they gave her.
Guess our skills compliment each other. Both skills go hand in hand. 
If I could live my life over.the one thing I would want to do is go back to the year we both were in the same school for at least part of the school year. We may even have been in the same class room together.
I nneded a best friend then..was boarded out in her hometown of Middleton,MA with the brother one year younger than moi while my parents were busy working  and looking for a place big enough for the 6 of us.
As I sit here thinking.................. we both chose the same type of men.   UGH!
Would like to call her more often...........could.......all long distance calls in my Comcast package are free to anywhere in the USA,.but knowing her hubby's temperment....I do not want him bitching about my calls and moi putting her up against a wall and a hard place.
    Speaking of a certain someone..........Tracie called me at 8:30 p.m. right after I hung up from talking to Nancy.
"I have a strange request", says she...." I just got a roast beef sandwich at the BeefMaster and they are closing, so I can't eat it here. My brother cleaned my mothers attic out and there is no place to sit and eat it. Can I come to your house to eat it. I won't stay long."
What do you say to that?????  Sure, come on.....sigh!
True to her word she didn't stay much longer after she ate her sandwich........but still kicking myself that I put the phone back on the hook after the AK call.    All p.m. I left it off the hook....I do that alot....especially when I want to nap. Then I plain forget to put it back on the hook or just don't care to hang it up. LOL
Did get a nap in........a rather long one..........both of us did............both of us decided at 12:30 a.m.it was time to call it a night. A certain someone was not in her bedroom.    I shit you not!
    It's Sunday..........OutBack day.  No sun shining.  Dreary, damp and overcast.  Turned the heat on last night.   Low, but ON.  Have had these damp, cool June's in the past where we needed to turn the heat on.
Especially when my parents lived here...........now it's hubby's turn to be cold.  When he was young and in good health he growled about having to turn the heat on in June......looks like it's bit him in the ass now.
He has been in alot of pain....left leg and foot .  Is lying back on his pillow with a wedge under his legs as I type.  He is talking to the tv....someone talks about a subject and he gives his opinion to them.
if I am in another room, I think he is talking to moi and either call out " are you talking to me" or come into the room and ask that question... " No, I wasn't talking", is his usual response with a look on his face like I was hearing things.
Yeah, right!
It's presently 9:13 a.m.    Hope by 1 p.m. he feels up to going out......................if not, I have decided that Chinese take- out will be a good second choice. lol     I shit you not!
That's All Folks!
