Things are getting a little more routine in my life. I have been at work a lot. That helps because home life can't just take me for a ride anymore. My Mom tries but I have learned to anticipate the...

Well, never realized that all the tough work I did would catch up to me so soon. Sounds odd, but I thought because I worked hard , cleaning, painting, hauling..you name it, that my health would be...

Well, I have to change my smile thing to moderate. I yelled at a guy in a car today. He was speeding and my dogs jumped for his car because of the roar. If another car were coming, we would have been...

OK. I can finally say that things are...better! I noticed it a few days ago and almost did not want to admit too quickly in the event something would fade away.I have been so frustrated forever. And...

This is one of those days where my bladder awakened an hour too early. I could not go back to sleep. So, drank coffee, tried to get moving. I am just spinning with no get go at all.So, decided to...

I am here writing things down because everyday is such a challenge. Today, I spent time with Mom bird watching. Then I grilled out hot dogs for lunch.Hung out reading but she talked most of the way....

Wow. Started my day watching a full temper tantrum from an 84 year old. I set it off by moving everything from Dads room into the closet so the room could be painted. It disrupted her routine yet she...

I had a bumper sticker that read "Mean People Suck." It was removed when I switched job and the boss wanted it changed.  I took the sensorship and the paycheck!!Wish  I had that sticker now. The...

I guess being honest may help me with so much that has been going on in my life. Since Dad died Thankgiving, I live with Mom. So, suddenly she has all this change to her life, home, routine, and...

I have been writing about stress when coming here to DS. Today, I went through some of the most hurtful times ever.One of my nephews came over, rare thing for him, and just ranted and raved at Mom in...

I just can not get a handle on the stress. It nearly destroyed my inner self growing up. Something about living with my mom (now) just triggers it. Mom has always been a quick tempered person and...

Here comes the Indy500. I live in Indiana and TV sports are the new things to do for my Mom and me. She likes to read but knows I am nearby watching TV. She is so less alone this way and her attitude...

Well. It took some time but my smile came back. The one without effort. Stress has been like a mud pack on my face!! I felt like I used cement or something. What is up with that. Spring is helping. I...
