Hey girls...that's right isn't it? There doesn't seem to be any testosterone around here lately!
I'm having a rough day.

Funny y'all were talking about old people.My mother lives with us,she'll be 84 in Jan...she was 40 when she had me.Anyway she has Alzheimers.She can still dress herself and go to the bathroom herself,make toast and warm coffee in the microwave and that's about it.

Some days are more than I can handle and today was one.I think Joe being gone made me feel even worse.He eases some of the tension and pain for me.She drives me nuts most of the time.The woman who was my Mom is gone.When she talks about stuff it's from when she was a kid until about when she was in college..it's like me and my childhood never existed...it's so frustrating.I'm not sure she knows who Erich is all the time anymore either.One night last week she had a picture and asked Erich to find Aunt Tis (her nickname)...Erich said You're my GRANDMA
not my Aunt.

I know I need to find myself a support group here in town but I never think of it until I've settled down after some incident.Her Dr. told me I needed to take care of myself,because Alzheimer care givers go through so much, that they suffer so much stress from the sitiutaion,the Alzheimer person doesn't because they haven't a clue.siiiiiiiiigh Thanks for letting me b*itch!
Now on to fun stuff!
Brendita..Congrats on the raise and bonus!
Tammi...your shirts look great! Like the little Mickeys scattered around!
Kate...cool beans a bonus in your house too!

I hate taxes on bonuses and prize money.I don't think "extra" stuff should be taxed.10% tax across the board for
EVERYONE IMHO!
Can't wait to see Julia in her Belle dress! Make sure you get Nick on video.I have a couple of Erich talking that crack us up still!
I LOVE your MM wreath!
MinnieMouseMom...I love your Christmas card!!!
bengalbelle..I'm with Rosiejo I want to see the picture Kate fixed up too!
OMG I just read about you DS!!

TG he's okay.I'd keep him in hand from now on.You said he shrugged it off...it might be too late ,I'm not sure he'd understand but I believe I'd punish him,meaning take away something he likes for a day or two.When he keeps asking why tell him it's because he was doing somthing he wasn't suppose to do.

for you Mom!
Rosiejo...I love reading your posts...
my two are only stealing baubles I picture your tree dripping with diamonds!!!

tinknme and Glynis...a Mom at Erich's school just told about box cake cookies last week.She told me chocolate taste really great,that you follow the box directions but leave out the water.She said sometimes she'll roll them in powdered sugar before putting them on the pan.I'm going to try these this weekeend for Erich's Christmas party on Mon because they sound sooooo easy!
