they were kind of keeping me up. My Grandma has a house keeper that comes two times a month... Been using her for about ten years now. Besides I am not able to keep house to grandmas Standards. So Thursdays are OMG Clean up days before the house keeper comes.
So I was doing last minute things.

Then Yesterday was moms day before that. Mom had Cataract surgeries one around Chirstmas and one just last month. Yesterday she went in to have her eye glasss prescription filled. With mom its never "Just One thing" to do. even though that was all that was planned. So I was expecting a half day of Oh I have to get this I have to get that... I am hungry .... and on ... but when she comes out of the office. The car wont start.

I swear I only listened to the radio for about ten minutes. But it wont start at all. And when Tripple A comes out they say the battery is charged but has gone bad. So they sold me a car battery. I was ready to pay for it because I felt it was my fault... But mom said no she would pay for it and grandma would pay her back.

So after that mom says.... "Im Hungry." So I take her to the Omlette Factory. Weve known the people there since the 70s. Greek family so they treat all their customers like they are part of the family.

After lunch I called Grandma when I left her that morning it was nine thirty. And my son wasnt up yet. But I had told him I was leaving early... "***uming" that he would fix her lunch before he left for school. Well that would be an UM NOPE. By now it was 2:00. Grandmas who are 98 have to have their meals on time... And this grandma has been regumentated for very much longer than that. and she was saying "Oh no dont worry about me I can fix myself something"

I said no we will bring you something.

So we went and grabbed an in and out Burger... Probably her favorite lunch because shes asked for it for a good five years now.... Aside from a sandwich of some sort. Brought it home and since I had been in the car since 9:30 am with the exception of Lunch I needed to do some Bathroom time. And by now My legs were swollen up from sitting. So Mom takes grandma her lunch by now its 2:00.

I tell them I need to lay down for a short nap before I take mom home. What I do is lay down get my legs up and watch a dvd. I cant lay on the couch because i cant get back up and there is no chair except my office chair that fits me... So I go to bed set the timer and conk out.

WHen the timer goes off an hour later Grandma is writing mom a check... I am walking through and grandma says ... "Why didnt you use the credit card..." I just said I didnt remember to and that I WAS going to pay cash but mom sayd shed pay for it.

I go in the other room just to open email and my son was sitting there doing homework. I asked him why he didnt fix grandma lunch before he left for school... flat answer "I didnt know I was supposed to..." After he just two days ago told me he was totally capable of caring for her if I wanted to do a two day weekend.

Sigh it probably was my fault by not being specific when i said I needed to leave early...

So my email forgotten Mom has her money so the first thing... Go to the bank. off we go. Go to the Grocery store.... to get her magazines.... and her Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls shes been having for breakfast now for four years or so... The off to Wallgreens to get that thing she swears she can only get there... and I know Walmart has em cheaper but I have given up trying to convince her of that....

Sigh Shes going to be 81 on Monday and if her glasses are good shes going to start driving for her little odd errands.... HOPEFULLY....

Her parting shot yesterday on the way home was "Dean is such a thoughtful person" I just said "yeah I wonder where he got that from"

I who didnt get a card or a present from him for my birthday.... and who have to remind him to AT LEAST get the Grandmas a Birthday Card for their birthdays... He does do all his own laundry as well as grandmas... been doing that since he was fifteen. That IS a really big help., So hes thoughtful in the important ways.

I Have to say this though hes been going through a lot of stuff this year.

So here I sit with just a few things left for pre-house keeper cleanup left to do.

edited to add the question I was supposed to answer in the first place... I was up cleaning for today.... and up thinking about mom and her on coming birthday...

My Iris is blooming here

I should be seeing crocuses in bloom and daffodils growing. Instead there's another 10" of snow added to the foot and a half on the ground. I really need spring.

Sorry to hear about your puppy I too have had a looong day as I was informed that my mother is dying and has a few days max. without a belief and trust in God I don't know how people handle these kinds of situations.

x2 about belief, and so sorry about your mom.
