D day has come and gone. Mom arrived yesterday after much ridiculousness. They would have been here around 6pm except my brothers kept getting themselves lost and having to call Nichole's husband for directions. lol So they didn't arrive until near 10pm. omg Next fun thing......... Mom was...

Mom's house sold. She finalizes the sale on the 31st. My brothers will be moving her here saturday the 2nd. She will say at my aunts the 31st and the 1st cuz brothers can't move her until the weekend due to work. She has run the gambit between stable and unstable........and I do mean one...

Rufus turned a year old March 15th. I've had him since he was 5-6 wks old. As I watched Rufus grow up I began to notice odd symptoms. Under 6 months the symptoms were not present. I know because we do all the same things with him now that we did then, we just have to severely modify it now...

PCs sister in law's mother was blind, she acquired a very rapidly growing cancer a couple of months ago. There was no real treatment and no cure. Not long ago.......and I'll use her name because for this it really doesn't matter......Beth posted on fb for help with the upcoming funeral expenses...

My mother is 77 yrs old. She is declining rapidly both health wise and mentally. I am her POA, her medical POA, and the executor of her estate / will. (oh lucky me) This was done to protect her from my siblings whims, one in particular. Mom is barely holding her own. Her house is on the market...

Rufus, as healthy as he seems to be, has a tendency to collapse after his walks, no matter the weather or how long or short the walks. He also has excessive heavy prolonged panting.....to the point of foaming at the mouth. Has been known to vomit. Travis and I both came home and started...

Maggie is 2 yrs old. (wow that was fast!) She is her own "person" but so like Molly that I often accidentally call her the wrong name. She seems to understand and forgive me for it. She is my simply amazing girl. She plays soccer, ball, loves to play frisbee and if she perfects some of her...

I know I don't post much these days. But work consumes much of my life.......both home and actual work......and it doesn't leave me much time for anything else. I realize that Katie is never going to change. I do. Most of the time I am fully detached and can handle it just fine. She is who she...

Over the years I have had many many children in my home since I was usually the only stay at home Mom in the area. My kids friends, difficult child and easy child alike, hung out and slept over. Some more so than others........some it seemed never really wanted to go home. When they were here they followed the same...

I don't know how many of you remember me posting about my co worker who was being sexually "harassed" by the temp boss. Well.......not a couple weeks after that post and co worker did an abrupt about face. She decided to be "friends" with temp boss. Now at one point I considered this co worker...

I was looking forward to March. (damn is it march already???) But winter is not done with us yet........even though we're teetering on breaking the record for snow fall in a single season. New storm is due to hit I believe tomorrow at some point. They keep changing it and each time they...

To be honest, I was planning to wait awhile longer until I'd worked in more areas of the plant. The way jobs are applied or "bid" for in this company is downright weird. There are no general production jobs, they don't hire full time employees for general labor anymore. Those are temp jobs...

I have a fabulous wardrobe of really nice top name brand clothes. The problem? They are now several sizes too large for me and if I attempt to wear them........I look ridiculous. A while back I bought a few tops and jeans. I staggered the jeans sizes down to a size 10. I was losing weight at a...

This storm was supposed to be nothing special....... Forecast started out as "a dusting" to perhaps an inch. Then progressed to 3-5 inches. Then later to 4-6 inches. I think they just threw up their hands at that point. There is a good 7 inches on the ground and while the heavy snow seems to...

My mom calls me last night and informs me that she has been in hospital since thursday. It took nearly a half hour to get her to stop talking in circles and tell me that she fell, did a face plant on the front sidewalk because she was scared to try to catch herself with her hands due to breaking...

Can't say that I like it one bit. It says a lot that I was counted among the final temp employees to be laid off. Company laid off more than 200 temp workers total last week. (both shifts) I was one of the maybe 25 or so left on 3rd shift. That I made it 6 months and just now got laid off...

Katie will always be Katie. I've accepted that, I've made my peace with that. But that doesn't mean that there aren't times when her behavior, her warped way of thinking or whatever it is, gets to me. M has been out of work since probably November. Of course Katie only admitted this after a...

Just got to love these ever rising prices, especially food and utility prices. Not. Due to my ridiculously low income, I don't shop "normal". I also have to say the way I changed my shopping some approximately 3 yrs ago has literally saved my backside. But even many of these practices have...

I arranged to have Katie's birthday dinner on sunday. It's not a big deal, just soft tacos......easy to clean up/easy to make. As much an excuse to get everyone together as anything. I don't usually give adult kids gifts for bdays, but I do try to acknowledge the day this way. Know what I mean?? Now Katie...

My "surprise" for this xmas season......and today. Good thing easy child let the cat out of the bag and warned me, or else I'd have not been a happy camper. Nichole came early to help me get ready for it too. Only one not here was Oliver due to getting his 2 yr molars and teething pain. He stayed home...
