I could have blogged here goes nothing...but really, for me this is something. I haven't quite figured out if blogging is: political, hypothetical, religious, bitchy, creative, comedy, serious or something my brain hasn't quite picked up on....yet.
The reason I started this blog at this point of time in my life is due to bad craziness in my family. I am sure, unless you have no family, you have experienced those moments in your life when dealing with family that have left you wondering WTF. Well, today was one of 'those days' for me. I can honestly say, I just wanted to hit something or someone lol. My mother, who is 76 yrs has the first stages of Alzheimers. This is one disease that is making me shit house nuts crazy and I don't have it. I really think I could deal much better with it, if it wasn't for the fact that: a-) She lives over 375 miles away. b-) She is on a ton of meds c-) My brother who lives in the same town is a piece of shit with skin stretched over it and is NO help. He just likes to help himself to her money and meds whenever he can. d-) My sister, lives about 20 miles away and has a butt load of her own issues and suffers from OPM (other peoples money) on a regular basis and is going through a nasty divorce AND she is not well. When you add all this together and add bad blood between the siblings and throw in the fact that my father passed away many years ago and is not in the picture you can understand why I'm nuts! Why not start a blog...
My mom has been staying with our family for a little over 3 months so that I could evaluate how she is doing...which turns out, not to good. I let her take her own meds and that stopped real fast as she started taking her nigh time meds in the morning and knocking herself out and then wanting to take them again..'so I can get back on track' in the evening. Not going to happen.... I got that straightened out and she was doing great! Then she got the idea that her sister was worse off than she was and started to tell me she hoped she died before her sister...what can I say... SO, I took her back home to see how she would do. This is where it gets crazy. I call her after a couple of days and she is having a terrible time and tells me to come and get her. Okay, I have no problem with my mom coming back. The kids are excited, my husband is happy about it...(he really is) and I start making plans to go get her. My sister is aware that I am coming to get her and that I will be there towards the end of the week.... I then get a call from my mom. Why are you coming to get me??? Your sister just went off on me about going back with you......... I try to call my sister who is supposed to be home taking care of her sick boyfriend, NO ANSWER and her answering machine isn't on. The same answering machine she claimed she had no idea how to turn off. Yeah, I think I'll go to bed!
