I haven't posted in awhile, how's everyone else out here?????  I'm having fun!  My sister came out for a visit last week and will be heading home on Friday.  Initially, I thought the visit would be great for my mother because my sister and mother talk constantly on the phone all day long.  Apparently, something went amiss as they've done nothing but bicker with each other.  Mr. PD and I aren't used to this so it's been a bit frustrating.  We've been fleeing the scene of the arguments in whatever direction is available for a getaway!  I'm getting several texts a day at work from my sister ranting about my mother's behavior again.  While I'm sympathetic to my sister's plight this visit as I'm usually the one that's in my mother's line of site, I can't help but feel somewhat grateful that she's finally seeing my mother's bad side.  I'm in a pickle with these emotions today.  Haha,, it's your turn!  OR, I'm so sorry she's treating you this way....

Now on October 8th, my brother will fly in for a weeks visit.  What really concerns me now is that my mother was less than pleased that he was flying back again so soon.  So I don't know how she's going to treat him.  My brother and sister for the last 4 years having been visiting every May or June and again in September and October.  They don't coordinate their trips to come in the same week so we're looking at 4 weeks of someone visiting in a relatively short time frame.  I think the frequent visits in the spring and fall are getting to her.  

It's a shame, they're just coming out to see her often in her older years but she doesn't appreciate it.

Welp, I'll be heading home in a few hours to more fun.  Let's see how many times I can say, "will you two please stop the bickering" tonight.  Lucky me!
