Susan in TN Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Junie needs to test for quality control. She also needs to test it with milk, coffee, root beer, water, smoothie, and various other accompaniments like ice cream. Just to make sure it is suitable. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 No no. Paige needs to be wilting in the bed, unable to stand. Unable to do anything, and likely to drool or vomit into any comestibles she is attempting to prepare for anyone. She needs to complain of aches all over, and crushing fatigue. Obviously someone this bad off needs her Mommy to be a Mommy again. Mommies clean up the mess their sick daughter makes. Mommies deal with the drool and snot and vomit and sweaty towels and bedding and laundry. Mommies bring cool drinks of water, and crushed ice, and make and bring good soup. Mommies will listen unendingly to the pitiful whine and cries of their besieged offspring, or go insane from having to hear it all and leave (so as not to add to the burden). But why would her Mommy come and stay so long and then refuse to take care of poor Paige when Paige is in such sorry shape? Paige could have a bell to ring whenever she needs her Mommy to come fetch the tissue that fell on the floor just out of reach, or adjust the blinds so there's just enough light in the room but not too much because her head hurts, or bring her books or the remote, or turn on the ceiling fan because she's hot or turn it off again two minutes later because now she's cold. Perhaps when Mommy is asleep Paige might muster just enough strength to go wake Mommy up by breathing heavily in Mommy's face and shaking her. Paige, after all, would be trying to get needed help but not want to wake anyone else. Sorry Daddy, didn't mean to jostle Mommy so much and bump you. Mommy's going to listen to me a while an come help me. Sorry, other visitors, didn't mean to fall against your doors with such loud thumps. Guess Paige is still woozy and weak. Oh, look. Paige just dropped a bunch of loud, rackety dishes and silverware, trying to take care of everyone else while there are there. Wow. If that is from experience, you have some really needy sick people in your life! #knockthemoutwithmeds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I had a wrong number 20 minute shut off notice. :( How glorious it would have been to whip out my debit card and pay it off.

Susan in TN Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Oh dear. Dh just got off the phone with his brother who told him that FIL's leg veins were so bad they couldn't even do an angiogram so they just went in to do some kind of surgery and will see tomorrow if his circulation is any better (he had two blockages). Worst case scenario is they have to amputate his leg below the knee. Sure wish they would move off the mountain but apparently it has been FIL refusing to leave. This might possibly force his hand and he and MIL can move to Indianapolis with BIL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I am working on the ghostly forest background behind the mighty masked horse. :laugh: So far, so good. I keep tinkering with it, though. At some point I'm going to have to call it good, do the pasture, and then spray it all so that I can work on the horse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I only wrote about 1000 words today. The morning started off in an awkward way and I don't think I ever recovered.

Paige Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'm guessing they would come anyway. And expect Paige to take care of them. :glare: Yes, that was last year. I warned them that I had gotten a very nasty virus and was miserable. They came anyway. Luckily, we had already planned not to cook (which is why brother wants to do better this year) so there was little to do. I kept telling them I did not want to touch the food at all (to prepare) but ended up doing some and every single one of them got my virus either before they went home or within days of leaving. If I do the same thing every day, the kids whine they're bored. If I try something new, they whine that they want the stuff they're bored with. :banghead: #whydoibother? #nothingmatters Okay. Dd’s blood is on its way. I feel like I missed something. Oh dear.

Paige Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 What is wrong with people?? MIL asked DDa what her favorite subject was. She said it was band. MIL said, no, a real subject. DD was :huh: . Then she said her next favorite would be math. MIL said, "Girls aren't supposed to like math!" Way to encourage her interests, Grandma! Maybe she should work really hard and be Don Draper's secretary. DD was offended but came to me and said she was proud of herself for being able to nod and smile. It was DD's best choice- we don't engage when people are nuts. #whatimdealingwith 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 My kids have been prepared that grandma is not a supporter of women's rights (and other things) the way we think of them so DD was not really upset, but more astonished about how right I was. I have coached them to nod and smile (pass the bean dip) but even I am surprised about what she said. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
