My mother is angry at me, as in not speaking civily to me. Why???? Because I told her I was too tired to take her shopping tonight.
Honestly, Folks, I just don't have the energy to do a 5 hour (trust me, only slightly exaggerated) WalMart and Kroger trip!!!!
I, also, just don't have the energy to waste arguing with her. And I feel guilty feeling that way. (Like I WANT to argue!)
Why am I ranting to you???? Because the majority of you I don't ever have to look in the face, and those that I do have to face will be merciful.
I'm T.I.R.E.D!!!!! I'm going to bed. I hope this has all blown over by morning. But if it hasn't--???

Shoot. I didn't have the energy to take myself Walmarting. I sent Chris and ~K~ while I worked. We've been eating out all week.
Theresa ~ I'm sorry you're going through a rough time right now. "This too shall pass" and yes, tomorrow will be a new day. Take care of yourself and get the rest you need. Sometimes moms just don't understand why their little darlings can't keep up =)
*sigh* I've been where you are, dear friend, and at times like these, we just have to take care of "us" and turn a deaf ear to mom and kind of shut off our emotions for awhile, as difficult as it is to do, and crash. I'm praying for you, Theresa.
I remember telling myself, when Mom would try and get me do something for her when I knew I just couldn't do anymore...."she won't suffer any lasting emotional or physical trauma if I just say no and stick to my guns." Take care of you!
5 hours at Walmart and Kroger just about puts me in bed with a high fever. Honestly!! Hope you are in bed sleeping. :)
Five minutes at Walmart can nearly kill me.
Lucky you that your mom (probably) doesn't read your blog. How I wish I had a place I could rant freely to strangers! I'm thinking about starting one called Parent(inlaw)rants.com. ;)
I know I've already commented here, but I just returned from a weekend with my grandparents where all seven of their children were "arguing" (there were quite a few snickers in the very serious conversation)over whose turn it was to take Grandma to the grocery store. They finally decided it was the grand-daughters' turn! How I wish things didn't get so hard when your loved ones get older.
