Here I am again, was going to write about prayer but feel God stopped me because I get excited and write before I have all the facts. My internet died for about six hours today, so spent time studying. Has any one else moved home with their mom or dad to help care for them. Wow can I say big adjustment. I can't remember the last time I got step by step instructions for each and every move I make. Don't get me wrong I love my mother very much"bless her heart" but we are going to have to learn to ease up a little on the demands. I'm learning the true meanings of different questions. If you're asked to just help set up the quilt stands , that doesn't mean a one minute proceedure erecting the quilt stand , no that means three to four hours of relentless sewing , cutting , and knotting , that way its almost finished, when the specially invited guests come and cut and knot a couple strings and receive the atta boys, slaps on the back, and gasps of delight for all their hard work. Or just a mention of some sort of dirt or smudge on the floor doesn't mean that you walk by and are noticeably upset with the filth on the floor. Nope thats not what it means, that means get a bucket of water that is at least 180 degrees to where it blisters the skin quickly and add lots of soap, the one that is suitiable for the floor of course, then with the specially chosen rag you get down on all fours and wash the floor. OOhh I have another one, if you receive a plate or bowel of some sort of food product , and are told its reallllllly goooood . Might be good to beware. I can honestly say it was really good I was close to the toilet. Not sure what it was but its possible it tried to crawl back out on its own.
I've been taking notice also that my mom and I have quite a lot in common. By the time I hit 70 clear the way , afraid things might not be real pretty.
I really do love my mom and she does get harrassed a lot. I believe that it's my job. : ) She always seems to have a way of getting back at me though. Tuesday is her birthday and my sis and I are throwing her a little tea party . So we'll be busy making all kinds of little gourmet bites . Sweets and savory things. And tea of course. Anyone know a really goood tea I could serve ? I don't know teas very well.
This is what happens when my brain is in neutral to long. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to write something worthwhile. Hope your week is full
This post was so funny! I stayed with my mom about 25 years ago to help her after Dad died and my younger brother went to college. I had to tell her to not do so much for me. I guess I was spoiled. She even got up and fixed my lunch every morning before I went to work.
