<---Is LOL about Amelia's post...<---'ll have what you are having this morning :)
<---ETA...glad Shelley is staying home :)
<---Is not having a great week now...out of arrow speak
When I got home last night, DH's mother left a weird message on the phone. I told DH to call her back. She told him that Obama had been arrested by President Bush and that Bush brought all the troops home from Iraq. We both have noticed a little forgetfulness, etc., with MIL but nothing this strange. We are both worried especially since DH's father is constantly driving the semi truck on long hauls (3-4 days at a time) and leaving her at home alone without letting us know or setting up care for her. Her health has been declining, but now we are worried for her safety. It is a long story but we have decided to lay the law down with FIL and insist that he stay home or find her live in help while he is gone. I truly believe her oxygen saturation is poor and that is causing the weird thought patterns. So, I guess we are in for a long journey with MIL but we have resolved that FIL must step up and take some responsiblity first. I am sure you guys understand...
<---Sorry to be so depressing but it feels good to get it off my chest
<---Appreciates you guys...
<---Needs some coffee today...BBL
 
<--- assures Melissa that <--- made the executive decision to stay home
<--- is so sorry to hear about Melissa's MIL - knows that must be so difficult but thinks she and DH are doing the right thing making FIL take some responsibility
<--- is always too scared to cut her own hair for fear of scolding by the hairdresser!
 
<--Pops in to say a quick hi
<--Has to finish house cleaning and start baking today
<--Feels like crap today
<--Hopes Shelley and Sophie get to enjoy a nice snowday
<--Didn't get any snow, but weatherguy says maybe Friday morning...
<--keeping fingers crossed
<--Tells Amelia that <--also likes the Beastie Boys (well, their old stuff)
<--Says we used to listen to them while putting the newspaper to bed in college.
<--Hopes Robin has fun on her errandmax workout today
<--Tells her not to worry about her bangs, just slightly tilt her head when she looks at people, and they'll never know
<--Always has crooked bangs
<--Sends Lorie "happyworkday" vibes
<--Is sorry that Cathy is feeling spacey today
<--says "Welcome to my world."
<--Waves at Melissa and sends her hugs
<--Is sorry that her MIL is having some problems.
<--Thinks that Melissa is a good DIL
<--Must go dust upstairs and get Oliver ready for the bus
<--Hopes you all have a great day!
 
<---waves feebly Howdy to all the lovely OALers
<---has trouble waving with these limp arms... <--- did GS BSB this morning
<---will be feeling it tomorrow for sure!
<---can see that Cathy is losing her mind ;)
<---hopes she finds it
<---hopes Shelley gets a snow day!
<---is singing the Humpty Dance with y'all this morning
<---sings the Humpty Dance every Wednesday... just ask Shelley ;)
<---tells Lorie <--- doesn't recognize today's lyric either
<---is LOL at Robin's "off-balance" bangs ;)
<---is LOL at Amelia's nuttiness ;)
<---sends hugs to Melissa and her MIL... <---hopes she gets the care she needs
<---is glad to see Shelley did decide to take a snow day :D
<---is sorry Stephanie isn't feeling well today :(
<---has a book fair today at work... will be spending too much money, probably :p
<---is off to do something semi-productive... bbl!
 
<---Thanks Shelley and Steph and Emily
<---Did a search on the internet this morning for DH and cannot find her symptom under senility, dementia nor Alzheimer's
<---Says DH is very upset this a.m. about it but is more frustrated with his father
<---Says DH promised to never treat me that way...wants to give him many kisses and hugs
 
<--Pops back in with more hugs for Melissa
<--Asks her if it's possible if her MIL has experienced a mini-stroke?
<--Would ask her physician to refer her to a neurologist or vascular specialist.
<--Knows Melissa is frustrated with her FIL, but <--thinks that men (especially older men) go through denial when they see their spouse decline. They refuse to admit that the caregiver now needs care.
<--Is proud of Melissa for jumping in to help.
<--Thinks the worst part about getting older is seeing our parents' health decline.

ETA:
<--Waves at Evily and hopes she has fun at the book sale!!!
<--Tells her to tell us what she buys!
 
<---Tells Steph that we thought about that but she is lucid on many other subjects and is not slurring, etc.
<---Thinks it is very strange and agrees she needs a visit to the doc
<---Also thinks that physical problems are easier to deal with...emotional/mental changes...not so much
<---Thanks you
 
<---waves good morning to all her favorite OAL-ers - which is all of you of course!
<---is sorry to hear about Shelley's weather!
<---says we have a lot of flooding here - had to ignore the "don't drive through standing water" several times to get to work - but no snow thank goodness
<---is glad that Shelley is staying home!
<---sends Melissa a heating pad and a "get out of work free" card
<---HATES AF!!!
<---is so sorry to hear about her MIL
<---thinks that would be a horrible situation to be in
<---says her grandmother had dementia and it really tore her mom up
<---adds that her mom is terrified of that happening to her and so is <---
<---wonders what post Cathy lost
<---saw a big one from her last night
<---admits to Lorie that she never wants to go to work either - happiness once here is only 50/50
<---tells Robin that many "bang disasters" caused her to give up on bangs all together
<---is actually scheduled for a haircut this Friday
<---says her hair has already grown 1" since getting it cut short and she has the white trash roots to prove it
<---doesn't know the humpty dance either
<---hopes Steph has fun with BakeMax
<---admits that she often envies (not in a bad way) Steph's stay at home, take the kiddo to the bus stop life...
<---doesn't think that will ever be in the cards for <--- :(
<---knows it's super hard dedicated work be a SAHM though, so the office job is probably way cushier ;)
<---hopes Em has fun at the book fair
<---tells her that she did GS BSB last night and is feeling it
<---knows she will get more sore as the day goes on
<---will be back later
 
<---agrees with Melissa that mental decline is harder to deal with than physical problems :(
<---lost <---'s grandma to Alzheimer's last June
<---hates Alzheimer's because it takes our loved ones from us long before they physically die
<---waves to Liann
<---tells Liann <--- will never have the SAHM life either
<---doesn't think it's an easy life, though
<---thinks it takes a special kind of person (like Miss Stephanie) to do that job, and <--- is just not cut out for it
<---can't afford it anyway... <--- makes too much money
<---does want to be a mom someday... just not a SAH-type mom ;)
<---says the book fair opens in 15 minutes... got <---'s credit card ready!!! :D
