I filled bird feeders and cleaned out the bird bath and watered my sunflowers and tomato plants this afternoon. It was nice to escape from the horror on television and to listen to the tweeting of birds. I wandered around the yard, enjoying my flowers and following a happy butterfly, with the cool grass underneath my toes and a nice breeze keeping things cool. This may be one of our last cooler days until late Autumn ... we've got 90+ in our 10-day forecasts.

I talked to mom tonight. The realtor called and wants to come over tomorrow at 1 PM. Fancy that. Realtor told me this state has a special POA for real estate and it has to be filed at the courthouse. DS is insistent that she be the POA. I told her I will be the POA. Last text said ask if we can both be POAs. She wants to be in total charge of this. Mom has a cold and should have gone to doctor today. She did say her chest does not hurt when she coughs today. I plan to leave here around 8 AM since we have so much planned. When I mentioned bringing some boxes to bring home stuff, she didn't know if she was up to that, but would I please return the box fan that DS brought up here. They need it in case they get rain in the basement. It's in my car.

Oh Salmon patties, yummy. I really need to make those again soon.
I have an interview late afternoon for a new job. I have not had an interview in over 30 years, this should be interesting.

I think I survived. It was a day full of drama--too much for my liking. Dad thought I came to do what my DS did a couple of weeks ago and was very defense from the get go. I asked a simple question about the house and he said gruffly "I am not moving until the house sells." That wasn't even the topic. I decided not to bring up anything about house until realtor arrived. Apparently mom answered phone when realtor called yesterday to schedule appointment. She just said okay and didn't ask what he wanted. Dad wanted to know what he wanted. I did not let on that I knew. Realtor and his partner show up. First, he calls me by name and mom says how do you know her? He covered well, saying I know you have two daughters and her name is easier to remember than the other one I met. Say house has been on market for 91 days and it's time to do something to get the house sold. Shows them the same 12 listings I have been watching and says 2 of the 12 are under contract. Turns out one of those is a house where my Grandma used to live! The other is a listing in their office where the owner insisted a year ago that the house was worth $100,000. After no showings in 6 months, took off market. Listed for $78,900 now and had offer in a week. Realtor asks mom and dad if they want to play the negotiating game or do they want a quick sale. Mom says quick sale. I could tell dad hadn't heard a word of any of this so I asked if he had been listening. He said no. I gave realtor the I told you dad doesn't listen look. He spoke directly to dad and then asked him if he understood. He said yes and gave realtor a number. It was to take it down from $85000 to $80000. Realtors suggest $79900. Can we go a little higher. Settled on $79999. It's already online at the new price. Then dad says we will be able to close in about 2 weeks after offer. No, in about 2 months but once inspection has happened and realtor feels financing will go through, realtor feels they could move. We shall see how this happens. Then I take mom to the doctor. She is all worried she has pneumonia. Well, she didn't call the doctor yesterday. Take us back to the room and nurse says "you're here for your six month check up". Mom says I don't know why I'm here, he just told me to come. Nurse kept straight face. Mom says I have this cold so I would like him to check that out while I'm here. I really like this doctor. He is very thorough. He started with the regular check up he had planned on doing. Then he starts on her obvious respiratory illness. Listens to her chest, etc. and orders xray and blood work. At that point, she seemed to be doing fine. When we got back to the room, we were told xrays were ready, but blood work would talk a bit longer and doctor would be in then. I was watching mom get sicker before my eyes with a panic attack. Her breathing totally changed and she said she had to get out of there. Finally doctor came and took us out to look at xrays. Lungs are clear. She does not have pneumonia. She has bacterial bronchitis and he prescribes an antibiotic for 10 days with one refill and gives her a lecture about coming in when she gets sick rather than waiting. He does tell her once she's over this, she's a healthy 89 year old. Don't think she likes that part. No sympathy there. While we were waiting, she asks me if he will hospitalize her if she has pneumonia. I said I'm sure he will. Well she can't go to hospital without going home first. I don't know what she needed but said I don't think that is the way it will happen. We go to car. She can't breathe. Panic attack. I ask her if she wants home or the ER. She says home. I did convince her to start the oxygen immediately upon getting home. As I'm parking the car, my aunt called. Her car is in the driveway. Dad is in a state of panic because Walmart has called twice about prescriptions being ready and he doesn't know what is going on or how to get a hold of me. My phone number is in the phone, but mom says he doesn't know how to use it. So aunt called me. When I got mom calmed down, dad had left for Walmart all in a huff because supper would be late. Mom's medicine needs to be taken with food and she wanted to start tonight. I drive home and got sick. Too much family drama for me.

((( Theo ))) I got stressed just reading that ... and you had to endure it. Oh my gosh. Well, I am praying earnestly that their home sells quickly and without hassles for the asking price.
Not much to report here ... just doing some decluttering and puttering and muttering these days. Grocery shopped, but was rather uninspired by what we saw. Grabbed stuff for a few nights of dinners and will probably need to do some better planning by the weekend ... or at least once he leaves on Sunday morning. Then I will get into a routine.
We also bought bird seed today, and one kind of cat food. Will need to go to a different pet store for the other kind.

THEO: I'm sorry life has been rough on you these days. Try not to get so upset with your elderly parents. Their behavior is rather common for their ages. They so need an understanding daughter. I would suggest you not take their behavior into your heart. Difficult to do for a loving daughter. But you are a strong woman and can figure out how to do it. Humor can go a long way. They take cues from us, too. The saying. 'Once an adult, twice a child', is so true. They want to be treated like an adult, (respect) but act like a child. It's so difficult to know you have contributed to society, then little by little, you can't. Independence is important to older folks, too. Good luck and I will pray for you.
I had a great day yesterday as DD3 picked me up and we went to the park with the kiddos. Even the baby was in a swing, falling asleep! Then she took me to a garden store and I found a humming bird feeder for half off. I also got a picture for the kitchen, half off.
Today a landscaper is coming by to see what can be done with my little back yard. I'm thinking hard scape so I don't have to mow. A few planters for my veggies and a couple flowers. We'll see.
Stay safe.

It was such a difficult day. I have talked to my favorite aunt today. She is the one who was there when we got back from the doctors. She said dad was so upset because he didn't want mom to be in the hospital. It was also nice to hear her perspective on dad as she is around him much more than I am. She said he rarely talks when she is around and that started last summer. She said yesterday he was totally wound up and talking a mile a minute.
I didn't get much sleep. It's raining and I'm probably going back to bed. I have called the realtor's office and asked them not to show the house until the weekend. Yes, we need a quick and painless sale from here on it.
I'm doing my best to be strong. I had no idea it was going to be this difficult to parent my parents. Somebody at my sister's church told her to just put them in the car and move them. She told them that they still have their minds and dignity and there is no way we will do that to them. I'm glad she said that because they do. I did tell them yesterday that if they had the kind of dementia dad's sister has and is living alone in her home because that is where she wants to be, we would move them for their own safety. However, that is not the case here.

I tackled three categories of things in my closet today: (1) pants; (2) shorts/capris; and (3) shoes. I am proud to announce that I now have a very large pile of things heading to the Thrift Shop .... yay! I decided that if I hadn't worn the shoes in the last 3 years (and they weren't something specific like snow boots or ocean shoes), off they went, especially if I didn't "really" like them. Pants were a bit harder to sort through as I rarely wear pants, preferring shorts year round even when it's freezing outside ... but I did keep a number of basic pants and capris, mostly in black and navy and dark purple. Still, I got rid some and pared down my shorts, too. ( We have a large cupboard in a our walk-in closet and one shelf in there is mine for shorts ... my wonderful DH has the other 2 shelves and the 3 drawers .... and now my "shorts shelf" is much easier to manage and see what I've got!) One of the added bonuses, I suppose, of decluttering and organizing is that it's easier to see what I already have more than enough of. NOTE TO SELF: stop buying turquoise t-shirts, LOL! And purple pants! I only have two pair of lime green capris and 3 pair of hot pink shorts, but I think I'll stop with those, too. What can I say? I think I like color! I did my laundry yesterday (and put it away), so I should be good for a week or so unless my wonderful DH requests help with his laundry. (He's weirdly particular about his laundry so usually does his own.) I noticed he's got several laundry baskets' worth on his side of the closet, so I will offer when he gets home. I didn't make it out front today to fill bird feeders (yes, the birds go through 5 feeders' worth of sunflower hearts a day in the springtime), but will be sure and do that tomorrow ~ the painters will be here to paint our gables and this will let me watch them without being so obvious that I am watching them. I may also use the chance to put tomato cages around my rapidly growing tomato plants. I did sweep the front porch and pavers today ... we've been really windy and that seems to be a collection area for wayward leaves and small branches. Flylady would be half proud of me today ~ scrubbed the sink in the kitchen (but did it barefoot!)

Hello all. It's been a rough week around here. I've been home sick all week with a stomach virus that is refusing to let up. I'm actually feeling better today, but have made numerous runs to the bathroom. Not sure I'll be able to go to work tomorrow either. I didn't hear about the Boston bombings until that night since I was going through the worst of the virus that day. How horrible. I hope they are on to who did it soon. DS' best friend at school was kicked out yesterday. As you all know, he attends a military school, and the rules there are beyond ridiculous. His instructor had given him permission to miss a class last semester to get to his drill weekend, but apparently the instructor doesn't have that authority. One of their brother rats turned him in. Then somehow, he was participating in a juditsu competition and the instructor told him to be there at 7 but his permit said 8, and he got in trouble for that. Absolutely ridiculous. Needless to say, we are very discouraged with alot of the things that go on there. And of course, if you are someone special (an athlete is one example) the rules don't apply to you. I know of several instances, but that's all I'm going to say about that. And DD is leaving for her deployment soon. So, I've had better weeks. At least it's been nice outside. Theo, sorry to hear about all the drama. I know how hard family drama is. We go through that with my stepdad's family. My own family has had it's own struggles at times. Hopefully with the lower price, the house will sell now. Maybe you can point out to your dad that if they lived closer to you and DS, none of the drama of the last few days would have happened. You could have had your mom at the doctor's before she got to the point of possible hospitalization. I'll definitely keep you all in my prayers. Going to close for now. Not really anything else to report. Stay healthy

Mother I am sorry to hear about your DS's friend. It seems like the kids who always try hard to follow all the rules are the ones who get tripped up by them. Hopefully your son can make it through his last year without incident. You take it easy and hope your stomach virus lets up soon.

Once mom is feeling better, we do intend to discuss with them that we cannot handle all the drama of illnesses from a distance.
I called her at about 1 PM. Asked how she was doing. She replied terrible and said the antibiotic made her throat close up and she couldn't breathe. She said she had been up since midnight. She did call dr. She asked if she could just stop the antibiotic and get well. He told her no, but did switch her to another one.
I told her I had called realtor's office and asked for no showings until at least the weekend. Shouldn't have told her that. She said she might never be well enough for a showing.
Until she is feeling better, there will be no offers on the house.

Molly I pulled 3 items from my closet Wed too but mine are so shot they are being trashed. Shoes I am not getting rid of because I can finally wear the ones I got that were my Mom's since I am not working.
Not sure if theotherme got the storm(s) we are having. it has been pounding rain here since at least midnight w/ regular lightning & THUNDER. It is going back & forth between pouring and deluge.
Glug. Glug. Glug.
I can just about swim in my street. Water is over our 4 inch (?) curbs. I will need boots to get my newspaper. I can swim in my alley. Rear yard is flooded about 8 feet in - no trash out today.
The good news: Got nearly all my shopping/errands don Wed. Took an old friend (from my grade school days) of my parents out to lunch. Have enough of my own leftovers for lunch today. Rear stairwell did not flood. Sump Pump is working GREAT (nearly constantly).

SHARON: I tried to like your post, but the button is wonky this morning.
MOLLY: You seem to be quite a color kitty. I have one daughter that loves color. That's what we call her. She also likes sparkle, so we call her the crow.
THEO: God bless you this day!
Most likely I will be heading over to DD3's house today to enjoy the weather and the kiddos.
The landscaper was over yesterday and we came up with a plan. Just a patch of grass left for Marley to 'enjoy'. The rest will be hard scaped with high gardens so I can take care of my veggies. So I'm excited, with reservation. When it's completed, I'll be really excited.
Stay safe.

Molly as the color kitty, I like that. There is actually a children's book called "The Color Kittens" and they were making all the colors in the world but couldn't make green. It was one of my DD's favorite books as a small child. Rain is coming in tonight but I was able to get the lawn mowed after work today. I probably should have done more yard work but I am tired and there is no law that says I have to work 24 hours a day.

Holly, yes we have been getting the rain you have been getting with no end in sight. I've been able to relax about the basement flooding because so far it has stayed dry.
Mom said around noon that she is doing better today after 3 doses of her new antibiotic and a good night's sleep. She also said realtor had stopped by and they talked about this and that. That is all she would tell me. Hope he didn't out me.

Rained about 12 hours here. Total as reported for towns near me was nearly 6 inches.
Well I did get some water after all. Not the basement - sump just ran nearly constantly. Not under the door to the laundry room (family room level). Came UP the sewer pipe in the laundry room. Did not damage anything.
Did not even venture outside for my newspaper Thur. Will grab both today.

Glad the water that came in the laundry room did not damage anything.
We were very cold today. The coldest high temperature ever. It's done a combination of drizzle/sleet off and on all day. On April 19! I am so ready for spring.
Mom and dad had a showing today and have another one scheduled for tomorrow. Fingers crossed for an offer and soon.
Mom sounded better but said she isn't sleeping very well. Basement is all dried out.

My nephew that has been in Afghanistan will be coming into town tomorrow. He is home for 10 days. DD will be coming home for the weekend to see her cousin. The family is all meeting tomorrow night for pizza. That was his request. Actually nephew set up the whole pizza thing via the internet. He set the time and place and contacted everyone.

So glad to see the Boston terror looks to be over. Bless all the folks that worked on this effort. My heart sure goes out to all those in Boston and Texas. Too much craziness these days. Sharon, I know you all have to be super excited to see your nephew. DD made it safely to her destination. Imagine my surprise when I got a text from her around 5 this morning tellin me she loves me . I didn't think I'd hear from her for a few more days at least. She actually was able to do facetime this morning for a few minutes. She looked tired. Said they were at it for 39 hours. Whew! Only for the young! We had a terrible storm here this evening, but it didn't last long. My ex MIL lives outside of my neighborhood and she called saying 2 fire trucks had turned into our subdivision, so she was calling to check on me. We had a nice chat. I went to work today after being home sick all week. I was a little weak in the morning, but did ok. Ran some errands after work.My bathroom light has been on 24/7 all week long, and lo and behold, it burned out this evening. Thank you Lord that didn't happen during the week . Molly, we are supposed to go down to the 40's tonight and high around 62 tomorrow. Personally, I'd rather have our temps. DD said it's in the 90's where she is and should be starting to get even hotter. Don't think I could handle that. At least you have your pool! I would be a big prune if it were me!

I am envious of all the posters talking about their gardening plans/chores. Our trees have not even budded out yet. I do believe this is VERY late.
Plans for today (re-scheduled twin grands bday party) are OFF. Granddaughter is running a fever. Not sure what I will end up doing instead but definatly have a taste going for pizza since that was the dinner plan at DD1's.

It looks like SHARON and I have the same weather. We had a rain storm last night that brought cooler air. I always feel sorry for MOLLY when summer hits. Continual 90s and 100s would make me go mad. We get that high, but there always a break every few days.
My garden will be started on May 6th. And completed on May 6th. I was surprised and am getting a bit more excited. I have to say it was difficult handing over the down payment check. I guess I still have a hard time parting with money. I don't know why I'm surprised. I have always been that way. I just accept it for food and the like.
I came across an article this morning that actually headlined that it was 'dunb' to pay off your mortgage. I really couldn't read it. Since when is it smart to pay interest on anything. It's fine if you can't or don't want to, but to recycle such garbage advice to the younger generation is not a good thing. And to say it's dumb, is-well- dumb.
Going out with a friend today to a craft show. It should be a good time.
Stay safe.

I just accept it for food and the like. I came across an article this morning that actually headlined that it was 'dunb' to pay off your mortgage. I really couldn't read it. Since when is it smart to pay interest on anything. It's fine if you can't or don't want to, but to recycle such garbage advice to the younger generation is not a good thing. And to say it's dumb, is-well- dumb. Going out with a friend today to a craft show. It should be a good time. Stay safe. I agree with that article being dumb. I couldn't begin to describe the freedom I've found by not having a mortgage payment. The best part about it is now no one else has any say so or control over what I do.

My nephew made it into town just fine and we had a great family get together at a local pizza place. That was his choice. There was 16 of us there tonight. We were just missing one niece and her husband. She lives is California and wasn't able to come up. She had been to Florida and saw her brother before he deployed so they have seen each other fairly recently.
