It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine..............really
I survived the holidays and my Mom's 80th birthday. I only had one nervous breakdown including very innapropriate language in front of the children. My poor family gets the brunt of it.
Why am I having a nervous breakdown at all, you may ask (or not)? My Mom. My sister and I and our families have been her primary caregivers since she's been in AZ for 2 1/2 months, and it feels like 100 times that long, if that is any indication how it is going. I won't go into anything here since I bitch and moan to my family every day about it and I am tired of the sound of my own voice at this point. She is going back to Utah--and probably assisted living--in May and then life may be a little more like normal.
Anyway, here are a few things that are making me happy lately, since all I have been dwelling on is my Mom and I don't want to think about her right now.
In no order whatsoever, and some of these may make you all groan and heave with disgust, but shut it.
*New episodes of:
LOST (2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Friday Night Lights
Paranormal State (again, shut it)
Ghost Hunters International (ditto)
Supernatural (2 weeks--why in hell does it have to be up against Lost?????)
American Idol--crazies coming out of the woodwork for their 15 minutes of fame. So depressing, yet entertaining.
*My niece's wedding and hearing about all her plans and painstaking selection of shoes sans flowers on them. Going with her to pick out her dress was the highlight of my year. So far. :) I'm sure the wedding will top all expectations. RELAX, Caca.
*My older kids are actually getting along lately. I think it's because they don't dare risk another nervous breakdown by their Mom. They are getting straight A's (or close) and both may be Golden Scholars this year. My babies are growing up, continually, right under my nose.
*Camille. Just being her. She says "sickem" for ice cream and "bookaboo" for peekaboo and a billion other cute things and she LOVED the Christmas lights and brings me no end of joy. Now if we can get her potty trained, my joy will be one-hundred-fold.
*Mike's bonus in a week. Lordy, FINALLY.
I can't think of anything else right now. I am sorry for slacking on the updates. Really I have enjoyed all of your blogs immensely. I have to go pick up Abby at a church thingy, and I am late.
XOXOX
