Speaking of cats, mom has a favorite cat that she often thinks is real. She talks with it and sleeps with it and pets and loves it. This item was a gift from my former husband to me. Upon receiving it, I had to tell him that I really didn't want him to buy me any more gifts that were made of real fur (in this case, probably rabbit or skunk), but thanked him just the same. Mom pulled it out of former's house when my brother bought the property and was clearing it out. Now this kitty lives and sleeps with her. I've been noticing lately that mom is really tired. Yesterday she was still in bed when Tom got there at 9:15. I arrived at 10:30 to find her still asleep and very reluctant to wake. Much cajoling finally got her out of bed, face washed, pill taken, tea and toast for breakfast. When her date arrived at 12:30, she was finally showing some signs of life. And mom isn't the only one who is tired. Tom has been sick, Mike is back in town and sick too. That leaves the bulk of care to me this week, and I'm tired too. I have trouble believing that this could actually go on for another 20 years, but it could. I won't last that long though.
Well, time to gird my loins, get in the car, and go do a double shift. I will have to squeeze the rubber chicken especially hard, I think, to get some laughter started. Till next time friends!
Well finally I find something new here :). I'm sorry that you're having to take the brunt of all the work while others are sick. I hope you can keep healthy! Maybe when your brothers are back on their feet you could take a 2-3 day getaway? You certainly do deserve it. I'll be thinking of you, I often do. Get some rest between those double shifts.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I would have eaten the chocolate chips!!!

Kath,
ReplyDeleteWell, first, in reading Sandy's comment, I wholeheartedly agree with her...the chocolate chips would have either been taken care of then and there, or saved for some chocolate chip cookies.
Still, it's kind of frightening to know that your mom is doing this. I'm sorry to hear about her fatigue, YOUR fatigue, and your brothers illness. You can only do so much for so long before it catches up with you.
Hoping and praying that you get some rest. You need it and, as Sandy said, deserve it.
It's good to see you back, although busy as you've been, it's probably hard to sort things out to even know where to begin to post.
Love and hugs and, as always, prayers.
Sue
pimples are really annoying, you can kill them using benzoyl peroxide but it will also make your skin red.
