Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
This cold weather will give me time to search for new clothes. Good grief, I hate this weight gain [thanks menopause AND caregiving]. And I hate clothes shopping. Hate it with a passion.
Forget catalog shopping as sizes don't match up... there is no more standard for a certain size. Even with dragging out the old tape measure to be sure. I can find a perfect fit in S, M, L.... go figure.
If you don't get it....please, no questions here.
That would be behaving VERY badly!
I may have a bit of a self-destructive streak going on, a never may care attitude, that only a few will understand. That happens sometimes when I am stretched beyond my capacity.
Thankfully, it passes quickly so I just wait about 3 days, eat chocolate.
One of my favorites was reading: "Turn me over, I'm done!"....
Or the Willie Nelson song: "on the road again, I just can't wait to get back on the road again"....
Or, "just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan Sam, just get yourself free!" (how about Jacqueline and Samantha?)--they count too, ya know?
Lol.
Putting on my shorts now, going outside. Cwillie, did you have something to say? I don't even own snow boots-what are those anyway-do they come in white with fur? Go ahead, you can be mean, but only once!
"You gotta know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold them"....
"When I get all steamed up,then I shout,
Tip me over,Pour me out"
And this is the woman who is supposed to be responsible for mom while I am gone. lol ;)
(was it bad that I teased her about it?)
Do you think saying nothing at all, having her go around thinking she hates Kiwi her whole life would have been badder?
Or, later, offering her a 7-up, would you like some lime with that? Lol.
It may be about time to add to your caregiving team, in case of emergency.
Be sure to have a lot of lime and kiwi on hand, for instructiinal purposes!
Luckylu, What is the number to call so "they" can take me away" Do they wear the white coats, or do I get one too? Then, if everyone is wearing white coats, I can blend in, plan my escape if I change my mind. Lol.
Lucky, Send has a birthday this month? Spill the date please!
I read this book once, where the main character, and wife and Mother of teens, left her family. They were on vacation, had rented a cabin in a seaside resort, and everybody was whining, so she got up from her sand chair, took nothing but her beach bag, and walked away down the beach and out of her families life.
She caught a bus that took her as far as her money in her pocket would take her, and started a whole new life! It was many months if not a year, before they caught up to her, and I can't remember if she went back or not, but the point is that she DID IT!!
Doesn't everybody dream of just doing that at some point in their lives? I know that I have!
I hope it's only your birthday that's bugging you, and not that you are unhappy with your life...to that point anyways! I would just as soon not celebrate birthdays anymore, even though I has a pretty good birthday month, last month!
I hope March came in like a Lamb, and goes out like a Lion for you Sendhelptome!
I Love You girl!
Today Bootsie's kittens turned 3 weeks old.All their eyes are open now and they are beginning to walk.We made a "cat house" but Bootsie hates it so the kittens are loose.
We ran out of expired popcorn but I didn't say a word when dH ate the mints the ants had crawled all over.
Dh won't be interested in it until it has been expired for 6 months or more.
Then, I will be upset that he is going to eat it, and will throw it away, walking down to the dumpsters so he won't retrieve it from our trash can. This is just a symptom of real issues, building, getting worse when I try to make changes while he tries to keep everything the same.
Ha ha ha, I've got this!
Here are just a few things my boy got into.... took my sig other's eyeglasses and burying them in the litter box. If you left out a credit card, he would grab it and put it in his toy box. He would bring his toys and leave them in his dry food. He learned to fly off the upstair's loft down onto the sofa.
All the telephone books had major teeth marks. Teeth marks in the toilet paper, too. He would get under the window blinds to slap at a fly. He found a way to get on the neighbor's roofs to chase crows. And to look in the neighbor's windows. Now the girls were well behaved, most of the time, one of them did push "Charlie" into the swimming pool, probably getting even with him on something :)
It is called Caregiver's Cats behaving badly.
Go there and list your pet's peeves.
