"Could they pick him up , if I cud convince him to go?"--no-one could help me get him there-- I knew if it was going to be--it had to be up to me---and-with the house all changed around due to the painting , -it also is VERY difficult to leave the dogs----
THE PAINT LADY SAW THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING___ and she volunteered to drive him in--SO MY PAINTER DROVE MY HUSBAND INTO DAY CARE__and-I guess she will have to pick him up--- Hard to believe that I am going thru all this isn't it--?? ---I know most people are very busy-- and- have jobs-------I was hoping that I could meet Himself there at the Lodge and have lunch with him but it is totally impossible--
I must calm down here-- Poor Lopez--in all this chaos, well, he pooped on those paper pads-- what a good little boy eh?--
It usually does work out--- Yu gotta have faith-- 
Best of luck to you. Donna_cps2, so much to go through!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna
DeleteYour second last poster says it all. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out. It is hard for any of us when our place is in chaos whether it is due to painting, cleaning or moving etc. For Himself it seems it is even more stressful because he is not understanding as he could have a few years ago. Once the painter is all finished hopefully he will see that everything is back to normal and looks bright and fresh. It is so hard for to you to have to deal with this without the help of your sons or daughter in laws. If I lived closer I would gladly help you any time. Take care and BREATHE.
ReplyDeleteOh Madeline--so hard right now--The fresh paint looks great---- Thank yu for telling me to " hang in"-- Things will get better-- Lynda
DeleteYes--You sound good-- Yu sure are doing wrll--I never ever thought life would be so difficult--- Thank yu for writing-Lynda
ReplyDeleteYour painter lady is an angel in disguise! I am grateful for every single person who steps in to help you, from the mowing grandson to the painter lady! ((( many hugs ))) and hope that one day at a time it gets better. Sometimes the victory is just surviving one day!
ReplyDeleteWell Barb--- Thank yu--- so nice of the paint Lady eh??--difficult day-- i am hoping I might get some more help-Lynda
DeleteWhat a nice lady your painter is! Hope that Himself is better after he gets home. It is hard for you to take his verbal abuse, but you know it is not really him talking but the dementia that has taken over his brain. Makes me sad that you have to go through this. Hang in there, Lynda! One day at a time, one foot in front of the ot
ReplyDeleteSorry - did not get to finish the last sentence: One day at a time, one foot in front of the other! You can do it Lynda! Stay strong!
DeleteOh Sandra-Who would ever think this could happen to such a kind caring person?? Lynda
DeleteLynda, I'm so sorry that life is so challenging right now. The entire household is discombobulated haha but not funny. Sorry the boys couldn't help you get DH to lodge. HOPING DH returns in a better frame of mind. Also hope painter lady finishes soon, at least in great room so you can get some order and routine back. Glad painter was able to get DH out of the house for a while.
ReplyDeleteI hear your frustration. Breathe and keep moving. One step at a time, one day at a time. Easier said than done. Any change is going to create ripples but you've got big waves. Hang in. Stay strong. Try to stay kind and patient. Big hugs
Aww Margene--Thank yu--- I appreciate your kind words--Lynda
DeleteI am glad the painter lady was able to give you a hand today . . . remember to give her a little present or tip when she is done for going above and beyond painting. Is there any type of senior ride service near you? Maybe making plans ahead of time for someone to transport himself would be a good idea. I am not looking forward to the time when I need that kind of help with my DH. He is 77 now and I am only 65 so I am going to be in your shoes someday. We are in Maine today and tomorrow closing our cabin for the season. A bittersweet time of year knowing that the winter is coming and Summer is over. Hope the rest of your day is better.
ReplyDeleteIt was a difficult day-- too bad the boys livi g in town here don't help out even a bit-- Lynda
DeleteGood for the paint lady to help you out. That was nice of her. Sorry you have so much going on. It doesn't help matters when the house is not in it's place with the painting. I hope himself calms down. So much on you! Sending you hugs from Ohio!
ReplyDeletesilly eh what one had to go thru with these people who are kinda crazy --LOL--- Poor Himself-- He is so mixed up--Lynda--
DeleteIt's Kathy. I agree, sometimes you just have to breathe! How nice of your painter lady to help you out! Daisy and I are in the hotel room by ourselves - me catching up on stuff, Daisy catching up on sleep! My son is at his conference and my husband went out to take some photos. Daisy and I opted for some peace and quiet. It's not really chaos here - but this isn't a very nice hotel and we are not enjoying this town (Deadwood, SD). Prices are very high, people are kind of strange, and traffic is horrible! One more day and then the long drive home - and I'm sure home will never have felt so good! Take care and remember to breathe!
ReplyDeleteKathy--Why are yu there?-- Poor you!--LOL--- Sounds like a funny place eh?--Deadwood--LOLOL-- Bad day here with Fred-- Some Lady called me from Community Care Access Centre--- is coming out next week--- I do not know who called her-nut it might mean some help--Lynda
DeleteWhat a rough day! Himself is probably worse ecause the house is all messed up with the painting. How nice of your painter lady to help out and take him. Hopefully he behaved with her. Your sons need to be more attentive to the issues caused with their father. They are all fairly close to where you are. Hope tonight is better and you can relax. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteBrenda-- It really was a terrible day--- but--- one goopd thing happened--=a Community Care place called --will help me I hope--Lynda
DeleteWow! I guess your paint lady is okay after all!
ReplyDeleteHimself will be happier after his time at day care.
Your downstairs will be perfect when the painting is done.
I was interrupted. I forgot what I was in the middle of, and I never posted it! Shoot! Guess I'll just have to try again tomorrow. Giving you {{{HUGS}}} anyway.
So glad that the painter lady got Himself to day care! Bless her.
ReplyDelete((HUGS)) to you and hope that the day improves for you.
