Everything is going South.... and not to NC


I don't want to brag or make anybody jealous,
but I can still fit into the earrings
I wore in high school.
Hi Sisters! Just a quick note to let you know that I was repulsed by the person looking back at me in that big mirror this morning as I exited from the shower. It reminded me of Mom and one of the times I was there with someone - maybe Diane - and we were cleaning her up and helping her 'flip' over from one side to the other and her boobs and belly fat just kind of swooshed around with her - sort of mid-flip, I think! She wasn't even fat at that point but all that stuff that had gone south - when it was full of fat but now just skin - was almost a weapon to be used against her children. That is what's happening to me!
I can't chat longer right now - good for you, right? It's been a crazy wild week and one with drama from difficult people I have to work with - just like high school. I really am ready for a weekend.
Can other people really read this? I was shocked when I noticed at the top of the main blog page there is a button that says 'next' and you can read all kinds of blogs. Yikes, now that's scary - someone please figure that out because I think we could all be committed (at least me) for all the crazy things we say. And, I bet they don't allow you to have a computer in the 'institution' either.
I love you girls and I so wish the 4 of us could just sit down and talk about lots of different things.

  1. going south??? well, not much here to go south, maybe they will just go away all together.

    I remember helping mom clean up when I had her for a visit from the nursing home and I asked her if she would please help me hold those bad boys up... she just giggled and said, they always did get in the way.

    Busy crazy here too. Megan stayed at the lake with us a few days and then we are going to take them to Mammoth Caves on Monday - Thursday. Then back home for a long 4th of July weekend at the lake if anyone wants to join in, come on down!

  2. OMG If that woman in the picture had short spiky hair it could be me. My boobs hang lower and lower each year - and my body bag, like Mom's, has stretched. Why did I inherit her bad boys? I have never appreciated them, but maybe at some point in our married life Earl did. Someday when one of you will be turning me over to change my diaper my boobs, tummy and thigh looseness will slap you so hard it will leave marks of my nipples on you so turn me gently.

    It is hot as hell here in NC. Day #15 I believe of temps over 90. Yesterday our heat index was 114 or something like that. No relief in sight.

    Gotta go...waiting for a ride to go to Pinehurst for an overnight Church thingy.
