I went to call my sister-in-law this morning and speed dialed mom instead. When I heard her voice I was like ‘uh-oh’. She sounded like a small child who was sent to bed without supper. I was going to give her a good ‘cooling’, but maybe it was another ‘force’ that made me dial her up instead of C. We rehashed a few things, but I don’t think she’s going to change her ways which is too bad as she is set in her ways like we all tend to get. There’s gotta be little old ladies out there with 10 nice outfits and who save up their social security checks for their bills. Unfortunately my mom isn’t one of them.

As I said to my guys last night, I just want to make people happy and to be happy. We’re only here for a short time. I may be like my mom in some ways, but I try not to buy too many things to make up for happiness that may be lacking in my life. Things are just that ‘things’. Mom said she was happy to sit in my yard and all. I was glad of that, but she was running away from her overflowing house too. If she would only let me go there and toss or donate things. I know it’s going to have to happen sooner or later.

Right now I am suppose to be at a retirement community on a tour! She called them up and gave them my name as being interested. First of all, you have to be 62 to get in. I have a few more years. Wish she had just used her own name. Oy!
