A friends asked me to watch 2 of her for a few hours this afternoon and for some IDIOTIC reason I said yes. SO, I spent the afternoon with an 8 month old & a 3 year old.... Christ do I feel old.... The 3 year old calls me Gramma Linda and LOVES to spend time here but since she was last here, she's gotten SASSY and snotty..... LORD, she was lucky to spend ANY time off the time out step.....And that's one of the reasons I'm WAY too old to have .....

Well, my boy has been gone nearly a week and the house is SO very quiet without him...... I miss his smile but DO NOT miss his temper, anger, swearing and crappy moods..... He called this afternoon in a crappy mood because he had to have a TB skin test, had someone take his favorite hat away for wearing it inside the buildings (which is against the rules) and the AODA counselor told him she didn't think he'd pass his urine drug screen..... Well, no suprise there as #2 didn't figure he'd pass either.... But go ahead, call me and bitch at me because you know I'll be a doormat and take it..... Grrrrrrrrrrr

Drove to Joliet to drop my boy off at school there and didn't shed a single tear....I was VERY, VERY greatful for the support of my HoneyBunny as I don't know if I would have gotten through the day without him..... I'm sure then next few days will be interesting and difficult but he is where he needs to be to do what he wants to do with his life.... I think I need a drink....

Well, my #2 som leaves tomorrow for school and had called his Dad last week Friday to let him know that. The Dad says "OK, I'll block off Tuesday so I can take you". We got the final details today, called the Dad unit to let him know the details and the Dad says "Sorry, I can't take you, I have other plans".....So the looks at me and mouths "Can you take me?" And I said "Of Course"..... How can a parent be so...non-caring?? Make promises he has no intention of keeping?? I don't get it..... Am I really off base here??

Well,I can certainly tell spring is here and the flowers, trees and grasses are blooming....My allergies are driving me NUTS!!!Sneeze, blow my nose, sneeze some more, blow my nose, sneeze, sneeze,sneeze....
The fact that I take two different allergy medications is making NO difference at all and is really pissing me off....Think it's time to bump up one of the allergy medications from once a day to twice....

There are times I think I have completely unrealistic expectations of a romantic relationship.... I consider myself a romantic and enjoy expressing my feelings in a variety of ways...Send a cute card....a sexy email....make plans to do something I think my HoneyBunny would enjoy...I do desire those things in return and that's the part I feel may be unrealistic.... I've told my HoneyBunny, several times, that I'd appreciate romantic gestures on dates other than the traditional...birthday, Valentine's Day, anniversary, etc....And regardless of what I say or how I express myself, it ain't happening....Couple that with the fact that I'm significantly more demonstrative than he is, it irks me. I'm big on holding hands, walking arm in arm, etc and he's strictly 'hands off'...I understand differing expectations and differing styles but is there a point where I've expressed my desires and either I quit expecting anything or continue beating my head against the brick wall???

Well, Dad was discharged from hospital today but his Persantine stress test was abnormal and will need to go back Tuesday for a cardiac cath to see if there are any blockages.....Let's jump back on the roller coaster....
On a better note, #2 was accepted to Job Corps which is a program that provides education, interview skills and resume skills to 16-24. So, within the next 4 weeks, he'll be leaving for Joliet, IL to attend the culinary arts program there. He will live in a dorm like setting and go to school every day for 12-24 months. For the first 30 days, he's not allowed home visits as they want him to adjust to living away from home and being in that setting.... He's THRILLED as we all are. As his Mom, I'll miss him but will have to send care pacakges... Luckily, I have family members who live in that area and are willing to drag him away for a weekend once in a while....

In the continuing saga of my Dad, he's doing a little better. They changed some of his medications yesterday, increased the duiretic because he wasn't getting rid of enough fluid fast enough.... His heart rate is hanging in the 110's which is better than it had been but not in the 80's like the cardiologist would like it. I hate to say it but this is one of those times that being a nurse is NOT a plus because I KNOW all of the "bad" things that could happen and will worry about them. Sometimes ignorance would be bliss ut then I wouldn't know the questions to ask...Double edged sword....
When I talked to Dad yesterday AM, he sounded really depressed and told me he was ready to die. After the cardiologist was in to see him, his spirits were a bit better because the Dr. said these were very livable conditions and Dad should plan on living a long and happy life as long as he takes care of himself.... NOT that's he's out of the woods quite yet but he's getting there.
I'm still debating about hopping a plane tomorrow AM and flying to Nashville for the weekend....THAT'D really piss my Dad off...But, DEAL!!! Guess I'll have to make my decision after I talk to my Mom today...

So I'm going to Monroe for an appointment today and when I'm in the medical office, I shut off my cell phone. So after the appointment, I get in my car, turn on my phone and have a message from my brother. He saya "If you haven't talked to your mother today, call her and then call me". So, I immediately go to the "worst case" as my parents were supposed to leave their house in TN this AM to drive to my brothers new place in GA....Someone got in an accident or something.... Well, nope, my Mom tells me that my Dad is in hospital with atrial fibrillation & congestive heart failure...Well, shit on a stick....THe nurse in me kicks in and wants to know what meds he's on, what his labs are, what his EKG & ECHO look like, what his oxygen sats are, etc,etc.... Mom, of course, has NO idea so has to ask and call me back....As I'm driving home from Monroe....Ready to have a fissy fit... The long & short is we'll know more tomorrow....

OK, so my last blog posting was bitching about my ...And so this one will be, also.... #3 wanted to ride his bike to school today and he had told me yesterday when I picked him up from school that this was his plan. He just needed to use the tire pump to add some air to his tires as they had lost some air over the winter. Well, there WAS a bicycle pump in the garage last fall so I assumed (I KNOW!!!) it'd still be there now..... *ehhhhhh* Wrong answer... #2 had "loaned" it to a friend and had to go pick it up....Well, the short of it is the friend no longer could find the freaking thing so I ended up taking the bike, putting it in the trunk and taking it to a gas station to fill the tires....WHAT a pain in the arse....Please, let me be a little more annoyed that things that I purchase grow feet and walk away. AND, when I ask where said posessions are, NO ONE knows.....If I took something of theirs and loaned it out only to have it lost forever, I'd be dead meat....

I'm in a quandry about my . There is a part of me that feels they should be able to be more personally responsible for themselves and not depend on "Mom" for everything. (Except the 13 year old) I've spent the entire weekend doing laundry, cleaning, folding wash and cooking. I feel really taken advantge of, especially by #1 (nearly 21, & #2- 19). When do I cut the apron strings and have them fend for themselves? I could live without doing laundry for 2 days solid after just having completed daily laundry for a week.....I'm fed up with cleaning up after they make messes and having no gratitude for me at all.....Let's not even go into the whole "antiquing" thing of over a month ago that I'm still finding flour from....
I wish I had someone who would do all of my laundry, cooking, cleaning and give me money when I ask for it....I'm feeling really resentful and taken advantage of.
When I broach the subject with them, they PROMISE to do better, help out more, etc and it happens for a couple of days but them...*pffffftttttt* They space it off and I'mstuck doing crap I've asked them to do....
OR, if I ask them to DO something, they take it as, "Will you do XXXX sometime before Hell freezes" when in fact, I mean "Will you DO XXXX, today, before you go to bed"
*sigh*
But, hey...Mom, I need a new matress for my futon, so let's go spend $350 on that...Oh, and I need gas money and cigarette money and clothes for this big interview I have coming up.....
