On the morning of 12-8-13 Matthew is packing to go to Mom's. I'm getting ready for a con meeting. Chris takes Matthew and his stuff to Mom's. I expected him back right away. Instead my phone blows up with text messages & a phone call. Art is at my Mom's house already! It must have been the shortest trip to jail ever! His wife is there to help ( Read more... )

Guess who got arrested at 9:00am this morning? Art the pesky neighbor! Hooray!!! For over 5 months odd & illegal things have been going on at my Mom's house. This included 3 visits from the fine fellows of the SDPD. As a result, I ended up going to my Mothers house almost every day & sometimes at night too. My work has definitely suffered. I've ( Read more... )

My Mom decided that she wanted to have dinner with the entire family on Friday evenings. We agreed to do it every other Friday and so far so fun! Every dinner with Mom has been a hoot. The last time we went out it was to the Red Lobster all you can eat shrimp dinner. Anastasia & Robin joined the five of us at a big round table. The place was packed ( Read more... )

Thursday (5-14) my Mom calls me in the evening & asks me to come over. She was in pain and needed help. Mr M & I head over around 7:00pm. We find her in bed at an odd angle. She says her arm is not working and that she cannot find a comfortable position. Before I went over I told her to take some pain medication. My Nana, Dad, Mom & I tended not to ( Read more... )

On Wed, (3-18) I offered to take the ladies out for clothes shopping. They were both very happy to go to JCPenney and putter around. My Mom forgot her cane, but even so she still moved faster than Aunt Mary. Not because she is quick, but because Aunt Mary has tunnel vision. The Fashion Valley JCP is huge. If you do not like anything on rack #12 go ( Read more... )

My Mom turned 85 on September 29th!! I ended up taking her out 3 days in a row. On day #2 My Mom gets in the car and immediately starts talking, "I had the weirdest dream. Do you ever dream about? No all your family is not dead yet." She finally takes a breath, looks over at me and sees the crazy but totally amused look on my face. I say, "Are you ( Read more... )

In case people do not remember, Mr. White and my Mom dated for years. He was always a good natured and very funny person (like my Mom). They only broke up because my Mom stated plainly that she did not wish to remarry after my Fathers death. A few short years ago Mr. White married another woman. Unfortunately she was a gold digger and her adult ( Read more... )

While Ned was visiting my Mom called. My receiver is set on high so everyone could hear her without much effort. She was watching Dancing with the Stars. One of the dancers pulled a muscle. At super speed my Mom says, "I had a muscle cramp. Is that the same? How do you pull a muscle? What were you doing the last time you pulled a muscle?"
