thoughts...usually with attitude...
Aw man Libby....family huh?!
I'm sorry that stuff is getting crazy there. I thought about your mom today...GOD bless her.
Now that is a breakfast of champions. 'Cept you need some cake to go with that. YUM!
Your mom might find a little more peace and joy either alone or in more supportive company.
I must confess that I am a little confused about your father's condition. As inflexible and manipulating as people can be sometimes, I find it difficult that he could be that insensitive to your mom's situation unless he were either suffering from dementia, or is withdrawing into a profound denial of things. Sounds to me that they are both ailing.
And so are you.
By the way, if you eat a quart of Nestle's French Vanilla for breakfast, you have to follow it up with a quart of chocolate ice cream. Otherwise, you won't have a balanced meal.
kimmy, mom's really looking forward to assisted living for her, theyy're chkng it out
x, it gets way worse...i think it's been coming for a long timne, mom just never told anyone...
Hey Libby! I have missed you SO much!!! Sorry I have been gone so long. Unlike you, when I have down days I tend to go into seclusion. Between that, being busy with 2 jobs and a husband that gets pissed every time I get on the computer....I haven't had a whole lot of time.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Actually reading it gave me something to think about and I know I don't want to be in a relationship like that in years to come. Something to think about. I backed up and read some of your recent posts. Love the ones about the rickshaw! Those were a real hoot!
I hope your doing well. If I ever dissappear again feel free to email me. Your one of the blog friends I really hate losing touch with. Keep your head up and I'll try and do the same. Would still love to meet up sometime. We're not that far from each other. Take care!!
Your father is the way he is because that's how he decided to handle the stresses of life. It's too bad for him and for others around him. I think you are doing the best you can given the situation.
That ice cream sounds like a great idea. Maybe with one cornflake on top to make it seem more traditional. 
Dang! Reckon ya give the idea that the icecream helps, but, I'll betcha it don't much....
Dementia is an odd thing, I'll bet. Don't know what the dickens is happenning, but, don't care too much cause yer not with the idea too long to recognize that you were looking for something just a moment ago...
On the other hand, my ol' Ma had cancer back in the late fifties, and it was breast cancer and you know what they did. She did finally completely go remission on it, but, that was the early eighties.
Then, a bum ticker got her into the hospital, a successful operation later, one dinner, and then three months of internal virus caused coma.....
saddest time of m'life.
I can really feel for ya, gal, and if'n ya need anything I can help with, just ask....
Every family has at least one. Mine is my oldest sister. Hope your Mom keeps getting better.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, gal.
By the way, isn't that one of the paintings that were stolen? I keep thinking about painting it and trying to sell it as "stolen" ....
dang! I'm such a desperate lil dumdass, sometimes.
Happy Mother's Day Libby!!!
gary-not a cornflake, but i'd sprinkle grapenuts over it!!
berry-i pray i don't end up like that, it's so much more painful for your family than for you....
aza-no WAY!! i never thought any other family had someone like this! (maybe we should hook 'em up on a blind date!)
thanks, kimmy! you too!!
That was a tough read - stage 4. Damn. And the situation with your Dad is not any better. I am sorry you are going through this.
Happy late Mother's Day, Libby.
You have my prayers.
Stay strong.
There are a lot of people that care about you and yours.
