It's Friday!!!!!!! Yeah, Don't have to get the teens up and going tomorrow, but my "toddler" is never changing. The week has been crazy, the girls are adjusting well I guess. They do great in school when she is here, they all hide out in their rooms. Haven't had to many run in with her yet. She has mostly been sleeping, and complaining, about not being able to more. While watching the "Taste" last night she wanted to know what a personal chef is. B replies that it is a person that comes in and cooks for the family or an event. She replies "WOW, I wish I had one of those!" I say "That's funny isn't that what I am?" The funnies part of her being here is her little comments. Some, that if don't have to live with her or care for her probably are hard to understand! It's the little things, like saying I sit on my butt all day watching Soaps! Or she ate the last piece of bread, and not just saying can you put bread on the shopping list, she says "maybe you could find in your heart to buy some bread". Then the next day she says she needs to go to the store and could I remind her to buy bread for her lunch. Mind you this is as she is watching me make bread. The same thing I've done for sometime now. She lived here for over 18 months the last time, and I have a very strict food routine. There are 5 now 6 of us in the house, I shop every other Saturday (PAY DAY BABY) and stay under 3 hundred dollars! For a "toddle" that is a hard thing to understand, and for my "70 year old toddler" that has never lived within a routine it is VERY hard. I have 1 diabetic (now), 1 vegetarian, 1 carnivore, and 3 that just would like to east good food!
When she wants to comment on something she doesn't like, she pulls in the girls. "I am aware that you two hid out in your room for awhile (maybe 5 minutes), are the girls having problems?" Sadly she would love the girls to have problems. It would show that our commitment to keep me at home to raise the kids with our morals and do our best to have amazing adults, would be for nothing. But really she just wanted us to know that she sees every thing we do. Next week it will be that we are hiding talking about her..... And so it starts!
This week is mostly getting use to life with a "sick" person, trying to be positive for my family, and hoping she would act like a normal person. I have never been around people that are "sick". I come from a family of go-getters, workers, positive, happy people. It does make me wonder what my husband would be like if he was not raised by 2 mentally ill women.
