BAM BAM

Our grandson moved out earlier this year. Oh how I cried, and cried. You know this is the one we raised since he was a baby. He's 18 now and yes I know its time for him to be on his own. BUT he's not finished with school yet so I didn't want him to leave just yet. 

well, things were going along we were talking to him and every now and again we would have to either go get him and take him to work or pick him up from work and take him home. Now taking him to work wasnt so bad as that was usually early in the afternoon around 2pm. BUT going home at night was after 11pm and we were usually in bed by then.

One day he was visiting me and he goes he would like to come back home and Im like ok. and he was like but there will be a visitor. and Im like ok. and he said a dog. UT OH grandpa doesnt want any more animals! Period! So I said ok well your gonna have to talk to grandpa about that. Well we went to lunch and he went to the bathroom and I quickly call Mr Gab and I told him. and he hesitated. and I'm like but honey I want him home. We then hung up.

Grandson came out and he took my phone and he texted his grandpa and told him he wanted to come home but he had a dog that had to come too. Grandpa texted back and said "your welcome to come back at any time you want I love you and the dog can come too." and Grandson texted back "good to know Love you too" and with that grandson moved back home the very next day.

and with him he brought Bam Bam

A choc lab pit bull mix.

Bam thinks he is a lap dog. and Mr Gab is the lap he likes! Mr Gab is a softy for our grandson. and the dog. We don't like the fact he is a Pit Bull. but he seems to be a good dog....grandson rescued him from some abusive people so Bam is a little skittish and he gets a little over excited and pees but other wise he has moved in and joined the family with very little problems......well Ok Lucky and Waffles don't like him But what cats like dogs? Well they do after they get to know each other but so far they are still in the growling stage!

I..FOUND...IT

I have found the condo I want to buy in Florida. Now to get Mr Gab on board! Never mind that we will be leaving the grand kids I will get over it. Never mind I will be moving thousands of miles away from my family and friends There is face book and cell phones. I want warm weather and beaches I want this condo. 3 bedrooms 3 baths and all on a golf course. Ah hell that doesn't matter to me. I just like the 3 bd 3 bth part all for one low price of well wait there are 3 available 2 at $149,900 and 1 at $155,900. I don't know why the one is more than the other 2 when they are all in same building but I DON'T CARE I WANT ONE! And I better hurry cause they look like they are in a good spot! wonder if my realtor in SD has sold my farm yet?

I don't understand

I am just a little unhappy right now. and I guess pissed off. Mr Gab and I had gone out last year to buy a F150 pick-up truck and ended up with an F350 his dream truck. we paid it off this year so its all ours. Great I am happy. EXCEPT I'm still driving my Durango that is falling apart. I have to put in power steering fluid every day and oil ever week. The muffler is loud and we've already been pulled over for it. So today I started to look for a new car. I found something I like (well ok I seen something I might like because I've only seen it online) Its a 2006 Cadillac Escalade 4Dr AWD
and Right now its something I think I will like to drive. and it's cost is only $4,000. more that what we paid for Mr Gab's truck! But he's upset that I want that kinda car. He wants me to stick with something like another Dodge Durango. I like my Durango but good grief why can't I have something I want for a change? Last time I got the exact car I wanted it lasted 3 months because we hit a deer and totaled it. So yeah I want to get another what I want kinda car. Doesn't mean we are gonna hit another deer with it does it?

Not A lot yet at this end

That's new. Oh wait yes there is I got my hair cut today....AND the big news is ...............DRUM ROLL PLEASE.......................... THEY ARE MOVING OUT THE 28TH OF THIS MONTH! YAY!!! I can't wait to have my house back. (they being our oldest son his girlfriend and her two boys)
I've got  Tonya's two youngest boys over night tonight. She took a last minute job at Pizza Hut working till close. she thought that Shawn who usually comes to take the boys off my hands at a decent hour would be taking them but alas he worked tonight too. So grandma comes to the rescue again. I just had them this past weekend for the whole weekend too. Well Friday night and Saturday night then they went home about 11am on Sunday morning.
I wasn't suppose to even have them at all this past weekend But I opened my big mouth and started a fight with Jeremy's other grandma and the bitch that she is she then said fine you keep him then I never want him again! Well what the hell kind of grandma are you? So ok now I have Jeremy. Then around 4pm on Friday Tonya calls me and says Logan's dad is sick could I drop him off there? I'm like oh hell no Logan is staying with me. There is no reason to take Logan out to his dad's if his dad is sick!  So now I've both boys. REASON: It was Tonya's Birthday on Thursday and she went out to play bingo Friday night and then she "supposedly" went to work at PH Saturday and worked till 3 am Sunday morning so instead of getting boys so late she wanted to just leave them. so ok she did and I said now you owe me big time and I want a weekend off SOON! Yeah and here I am on a Tuesday babysitting again! and you know she is still dropping them off in the morning and I send them off to school and then they come here after school till she gets off work at 4:30pm. Monday through Friday and any day there is no school I have them ALL DAY LONG!
I am counting the days till June. April. maybe even May! I dont know which month it will be Mr Gab can't seem to make up his mind either but one of those months we are leaving.................and baby we aren't looking back

Secret

Hello....been awhile..........Well lets see I did all those tests the doctors wanted both the head doctor and the heart doctor. and all they could find wrong was in my left ear Ive got fluid in the middle ear. and they said yes that can make me fall down ...........A LOT! So told me to take Sudifed.

SO! OK
Now we are to this weekend. Yesterday was our daughter's birthday. She turned 37! she was pushing it by saying on facebook she was almost 40! HER OLDEST BROTHER WILL BE 40 THIS YEAR NOT HER! I said stop trying to push me into the grave!
And today and tomorrow I have her 2 youngest boys. Jeremy who is 11 and Logan who is 7. so far we have been doing computer stuff. Tomorrow I have outside stuff planned as well as possibly a movie! not sure what one yet but I will see whats out there in the morning.

NOW FOR THE SECRET:

On May 3rd we are heading home! yes HOME! To South Dakota. with no one but hubby and me. AND WHY IS IT A SECRET YOU ASK.
well remember last summer when hubby retired? and remember I announced it all over facebook and here? Yeah remember what happened next? We ended up with our granddaughter! Yeah so not telling anyone this time. Oh and dont worry about it being here. No one who is gonna wreak our trip will read this. they are on face book but NOT HERE! I'm safe! (I hope anyways)
and if things work out the way we hope we will also go home the first week of June and first week of July! Then we will decided from there what we will do. We have signed the papers for this house so hopefully we will save it. and if we do come June our daughter and her boys will move into this house and hubby and I will be on our way to well we arent sure yet.We keep fighting about this. To make a long story short even though I want to go to Florida where its warm I think we may end up staying here just buying a condo here (or one of those 55+ places and being next to our grand kids. They have been so much a part of our lives Im not sure we can leave them. But thats still up in the air. for now we are working on SD! and deciding what to do there!

I'm an old lady what the hell do you expect?

So I went to my neurologist today and he wanted to know why I was falling down a lot. I said I don't know but I was hoping he could tell me. He asked about my recent falls and I said well I knew why I fell about 2 weeks ago it was icy and I fell. Hit my head on the sidewalk. Then this week on Tuesday I was standing outside of my car when I next realized I was under my car on the ground. So he ordered some tests. He wants an x-ray on my left hip to make sure I didn't break anything. and he wants an MRI on my head for the fall 2 weeks ago. Then Im gonna get a 48 hour ambulatory EEG. when all that is done with I get to go and meet up with a Cardiologist. and get my heart checked out. When He asked me if I had a cardiologist and I said no he said well we are gonna get you one because your at that age where you will need one. SO now I've got a regular doctor, a rheumatologist, a neurologist  and now a cardiologist! 4 doctors just to keep me going.

I'm now officially OLD

are we stupid people?

So the other night I was cruising the internet, and this title caught my attention"people you are stupid"
So I stopped to read it.
It talked about we already have the cures for all major disease. And to give money to any of them is a waste of time and your money.
I was like WHAT? So of course I had to read on.......
The person who wrote this said think about this if you will, think of our president our congress well for that matter any government official do you ever hear about them getting sick with major disease?  NO YOU DON'T!!! This is because they already get the cure for anything they could Get sick with.  Now think about this why does our presidents need  secret service after they leave office......1) so they can keep reciving any medicines they may have gotten while in office to keep their health so no one ever finds out. And 2) so they never disclose that these cures exist. Then when they are up in age where it is more approperate for them to get sick n because of age die sooner then they no longer feel they are a threat.
Now this got me thinking....could this be true?
And so off went my thinking.....and trying to cruise to see if I could find anything to back it up. I found nothing plus I lost the artical which I read this.

OK now here is my news........today I got a tablet! I am having fun learning how to use it........BUT I should have gotten a keyboard!

Any time now Enough is Enough.

Below zero.....kids home from school.......bundle up so you don't freeze.....when the hell is it gonna end?
We don't have a lot of snow maybe about 3 feet. But it is so damn cold. colder than I can remember and I remember a lot!
I am NOT one of those people who go around saying I remember when I was a kid I had to walk 10 miles to school in 30 below and 8 feet of snow. LOL no that would be my dad. Now granted I don't know for sure if he ever had to do that, but he sure like to make that point a lot because I would ask him for a ride to school and my school was only 1 mile from our house and I could have walked or even taken the bus. Well except if you had ever been on our bus you'd know why 3/4 's of us walked! our bus driver was a manic. she would pull out in front of on coming cars and say well now they better stop because I'm bigger than they are and the bus will do more damage to their car than their car to the bus and crap like that! and then their was a guy who drove it before her and he would leave his pipe in the bus and she would toss it out the window and say stinky shit. so disrespectful! Plus she liked to see how fast she could get the bus going from one corner to the next then slam on the breaks!
So most of us walked rather than ride with her.
So asking dad for a ride in the winter got you a long winded story about how he had to walk to school in worse weather than what was going on that day!
He always gave me a ride but I always got a lecture too.
Dad had his rules:
Dont drink, Dont smoke, Dont swear, Dont have sex, Dont get pregaunt while in school. Funny thing was he was giving me "Bock" beer when I was 12 so dang there went that one! and the swearing well....I did but not around dad till I hit 15. The rest I did really well on I never did smoke and the sex waited till I was 18 same with getting pregaunt. I was 19.
I wonder what dad would be saying about all this cold weather? I know he would have some answer to why. He always had an answer. it might not be right but he had an answer!

I think every thing is going to hell

You know we see more and more about people going off the deep end and going out and shooting up places and killing innocent people. and everyone blames guns.
Then you see things like nurses who are stealing drugs to either support their own habit or to sell for big bucks. Who do they blame? the drugs and a lot of these nurses are put back into the system and are still working.
Now today I read something that turned my stomach so bad that I hope to hell that I NEVER EVER LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BE IN A NURSING HOME.
The nursing assistants are abusing the residents. WHAT?
I remember when I was a nursing assistant. I was there to care for those who could no longer care for themselves. I took pride in being able to do for them what they no longer could do. In fact I was embarrassed when I had to wash a man's private area. I would say something like "ok I'm going to wash your family jewels now ok? Some would laugh at me others were grateful I didn't just grab and start washing. like some of the other girls did. In fact I was requested more and more by the men and women there because I was careful and because I was embarrassed and because I RESPECTED THEM!
That was the big thing I RESPECTED THEM! at all times. it didn't matter how far into their dementia they were I still respected them. I would talk to them as if they were still with us.
My feeling were these older people were people who went before us. They knew of harder times than I will ever know. and sometimes when they had good days they told stories. it didn't matter to me that they thought I was their daughter or granddaughter I listened and sometimes cried.
I RESPECTED THEM I honored them.
So to know that there are people out there now who are abusing residents bothers the hell out of me. What are these people thinking? and for gods sakes what are they getting out of it?
I know the frustrations of changing an old persons diaper and being upset that it was icky. But it was part of my job and I knew that going into the job.
and I also knew about those with dementia being combative and can possibly hurt you but you know that going into the job as well. SO if you already know this and this is why you are now hurting them or abusing them then God help you! Because I knew and I accepted it and when something got to be to much I asked for a quick break and walked away because I cant blame them. They no longer know what they are doing. and those who do don't you think its an embarrassment for them to have a young person change their diaper? don't you think they would rather die than live like this? But they are still here because God hasn't called for them yet. And they have to rely now on you to take care of them and they don't like it any more than you do. But if you have compassion and respect for these folks you can make it through the job. But to Abuse them NO NO NO.
I hope I never ever have to live that way. I hope God takes me long before I need to live that way. I pray for that.

Our summer was our insight

I was out at the store yesterday shopping for a few groceries when I over heard a couple of guys talking.

1st guy) Yeah this summer was our insight to this winter.

2nd guy) What do ya mean?

1st guy) well hell our summer was so damn hot this year it had to follow that our winter would be so damn cold!

2nd guy) oh yeah that seems about right. Hey ya know I heard that it's gonna get cold again this week down below zero.

1st guy) see what did I tell ya. It's not gonna let up. We will end up having the coldest winter in history.

2nd guy) why didnt we take that offer to go over to Hawaii? this is BS!

I had to think on this one a bit. Was our hot summer an insight to our freezing winter? I know Mr Gab had seen all the beaver houses way out in the middle so he knew it wasn't going to be an easy winter.
But does our hot weather have anything to do with our cold freeze our asses off winter this year? I dont know but I tell ya what had I known that the hot weather was an insight to a freezing cold winter I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FLORIDA! THIS CRAP ISN'T FIT FOR MAN KIND!

AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN SICK AT LEAST ONCE! i THINK WE ARE ALL ON ROUND TWO RIGHT NOW AND HELL I AM SO SICK TO DEATH OF COUGHING AND COUGHING. WHEN THE HELL IS SPRING? AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME ITS GONNA BE DELAYED I DONT THINK I CAN HANDLE MORE BAD NEWS!

11 days in Whats new?

We are 11 days into our new year. Whats new?
Our oldest grandson is talking of moving out at the end of this month. I AM NOT HAPPY!
He is moving out mainly because Mr Gab has NOT kicked out our oldest son and his girlfriend and her two boys who were never to be here to begin with (the boys not the other two they were told they could stay 30 days well their 30 days expired 5 months ago but for some reason Mr Gab isnt doing a damn thing)
And speaking of THAT! I have threaten to move out myself. He says GOOD BYE
I dont think he believes I ever would.....well I would if the weather was better I would go home to South Dakota. I would live on the farm in my camper. I would figure out what to do by next winter if it went that far! BUT I WOULD DO IT!
Not just threaten because Im damn sick of this crap they dont help clean they cook but they make all the food so damn spicy I cant eat it. When I bitch and complain they "forget" the next time....and when they cook they dont clean up I have left dishes for 3 weeks (ISHY)
Finally I yelled at my oldest son You can never ever cook another meal in this house I dont give a damn if you f***en starve! He goes why. Mr Gab goes because your mother and I are the only one doing the damn dishes for more people than we need to be doing dishes for. He goes well gee all ya gotta do is ask. F**K do you know how many times I have asked? and asked? and asked? And he has never ever come out of his bedroom to do dishes!well that night he did dishes. then made spaghetti and didnt do the dishes afterwards! GOD I AM REALLY HATING THAT KID OF MINE!!!!
I told everyone that if they arent out of my house by the end of this month the sheriff will assist them out. and Im sticking to it.

I AM SO OVER THIS

I will be very busy next two days as I have been very sick. I've had phenomena.
And it wouldn't have been so bad had I just had Phenomena no no...I couldn't keep fluids down either, and so even though I had a script for a med THAT was to help me keep stuff down. my body rejected it. Yes Some days I really hate my body! it wont just let me be sick with a cold or Phenomena no no it has to take all the fun out of it so that why I am coughing my damn fool brains out, I'm also tossing "my cookies" as they say. Thing is there were no cookies involved just water and the more water I drank the more I tossed it!!! and of course in the dire need of being hanging over the porcelain throne wouldn't ya know it diarrhea!! I don't know how many times I missed due to the fact I couldn't turn over fast enough and I'm super PO"D at whom ever took the Bucket outta the bathroom so I wouldn't have these ghastly mistakes. Oh and let me tell you one more thing before I waddle my way back to bed! Imodium AD didn't help one damn bit! took 8 of those suckers in 4 days and still have a waterfall going! CHRISTMAS BAH HUM BUG!! phfffffffff


GOOD NIGHT ONE AND ALL AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

They just don't understand that no matter what I will embarrass them Sorry!

I'm afraid I've done it again.
I've gone and embarrassed one of my grand children!
I used that most embarrassing word.................
I called them baby

She is by no means a baby.
In fact

TODAY IS HER 12TH BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KELLEY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!
and many more!


But in the big picture I said Happy Birthday Baby girl. And she says "Grandma I'm not a baby I'm 12"
and I said "Honey no matter how old you get you will always be my baby girl."
She sighed and said "But grandma I'm 12"
And I said "Kelley darling look at TJ  he's 18 and I still call him baby! and I will call him baby as long as I live!"
She wasn't happy about it and she went to school but I'm sure she is telling all her little teeny bopper friends that she IS NOT A BABY!

getting old

I guess Im just getting old. I'm tired all the time....never mind that I gotta stay up till midnight Monday through Thursday. Then go to bed only to be woke up around well either 230 am or 330 am to go out and pick up sons girlfriend from work. Then if Im lucky and do get to go back to sleep Im back up again by 630am to get all the kids up for school.


WTH! ALL MY KIDS ARE GROWN AND GONE! PLUS OUR GRANDSON WHOM WE RAISED IS 18 AND CAN GET HIS ASS UP FOR HIS LAST YEAR OF SCHOOL BY HIMSELF(not!!)


now I have 3 other kids to get up and get ready for school. Then open the door for  2 more of our grandkids can come.
I am lucky sorta. Daughter does take the oldest plus 2 others to school. while I make sure the last 3 get off to school.
Then if Im lucky (and most of the time I am) I take a nap once all the kids are off to school.
Now that winter is here though I drive the youngest 3 to school instead of them taking the bus. Here in MN its too damn cold for those little ones to be waiting out there, since they made the bus stop so damn far from home. (well ok its a block away but when our kids were little the bus stopped right in front of our house at the end of the driveway so they could stay inside till it came, so a block away is too damn far!)

I'm just getting old. and one of these days I WILL GO TO FLORIDA TO LIVE!

I will never try that again

I TOOK 2 OF MY GRAND SONS TO THE MOVIES TODAY. WE WENT AND SEEN FROZEN. THE MOVIE WAS GREAT! IT THE WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE! I ACTUALLY GOT LOST IN THE MALL.

SO ROUND AND ROUND WE WENT AT THE MALL. AND WHEN WE GOT TO ONE POINT WHERE I WAS NEAR COLLAPSE I TOLD THE BOYS IF THIS ISN'T THE CORRECT DOOR WE ARE CALLING YOUR MOM TO COME FIND US AND DRIVE US TO THE CAR! IT WAS THAT BAD. WELL LUCKY ENOUGH IT WAS THE RIGHT DOOR. AND WE FOUND THE CAR AND BY THE TIME I GOT IN AND SETTLED I WAS SHAKING SO BADLY I WASN'T SURE IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE OR NOT. PLUS SOME HOW MY PURSE HAD GOTTEN TANGLED INTO MY SCARF AND I WAS CHOKING MYSELF AND COUGHING BECAUSE I HAD A POPCORN HULL IN MY THROAT AND OF COURSE I STILL WAS HAVING TROUBLE CATCHING MY BREATH! WHEN WE DID GET HOME AND I LAID DOWN THE ROOM STARTED TO SPIN SO I HAD TO SIT BACK UP EVEN THOUGH I WANTED TO LAY DOWN BADLY. BUT BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEEM TO GET AIR INTO MY LUNGS I COULDN'T LAY DOWN.
