a quote I'd better follow.....
Oct. 9th, 2007 06:15 pmMy mom is finally released from the convalescent hospital this week (over 80 days). I go to Sacramento to visit next weekend, to stay at her home with her, then bring here down to my place for the week to visit. Meanwhile my sister organized a moving company to move her furniture to the retirement community to which she will be moving to, while my mom is with me. Her home is too big for her to live on her own. She put a deposit on a nice one bedroom. She is looking forward to the wine and cheese parties on Friday nights, plus all other events and activities (So at least she will move with good expectations).
We love each other and most times are get along fine, and at other times she is a bit trying. Well, actually, she can sometimes, as most moms, get on ones nerves....
So the check list for this week before her visit to my place is to:
1. Get her room ready
2. Give the apartment a D & C (dusting and cleaning)-- and hide the porn!
3. Go food shopping
4. Get some boo boo cream, for preparation of my lip which I will be biting often; and Rolaids too! (lol)
5. And be sure to be good and as patient as possible and try to follow this quote....which I really should follow more often;
"Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong...because sometime in your life you will have been all of these."
