    Nice creeekage! Howz youz doinz!?
    Well this morning I was a little dismissive when my youngest told me he wasn’t feeling well so of course I got a call from the school nurse saying he puked. At the moment I am sitting in the car in my driveway after having picked him up & brought him home. I’m off from work the rest of this week but I really feel like this whole parent thing is a way harder job & requires so much more flexibility & wisdom & breadth of knowledge than any job I’ve ever gotten paid for. & now I’m going in the house to find the puke bucket.

    Awww dang it! I am so sorry he is sick. Hope he feels better SOON. Spot on with the parenting thing. My kid is 20 years old, and I am still making mistakes. Where is the rewind button?
    Yeah part of me feels like it would be nice to have a do over and part of me feels like oh no I can’t *kitten* do that again ever

    Touché. Yea, sometimes I think "let's just point this nose towards the ground, take a deep gasp after the oxygen mask drops, and get it over with".


    Happy Thursday!
    Yeah I don’t understand people who think reincarnation is a reassuring spiritual belief. But dammit, I am determined to get some joy out of this one

    My mom is 75 and fell yesterday. I live 13 hours away and am starting to regret that that I moved that far away 3 years ago. Because I really can't do much to help out way down here. I wonder if my brothers and I should look into life alert (that little button they push when they fall and can't get up). or, just keep going with life and see if it happens again. I feel so un prepared on how to deal with aging parents. AND I'm not looking forward to all the discussions that my 2 siblings and I will need to have.
    How far away do you live from your parents?
    My dad lives about an hour away from me (where both my parents lived until my mom passed away nearly 4 years ago). They had been going to Florida during the winters here and I never worried about them. Now he continues to go alone; he's in great health, but I worry a little because he's so far away - he's 83.

    I am currently 2000 miles away give or take some. My mom is strong, doing well, and very active so there is almost always someone around with her so I am not worried.

    My mom is 95yrs old, still drives and takes care of my 57yr old handicapped brother 3days a week.
    I live 20min away and still worry.
    She did finally get a nurse/helper that comes to her house M-Th from 8:00am to 1:00pm.
    Takes her to the store, any errands mom wants to do, helps her with her computer, stays in the bathroom while mom showers.
    She has to pay for most of her visits as Long Term Care was practically a sham but it is SO worth it!

    Apparently it’s kind of a scam. Then again so are broken hearts

    Maybe you should pack them back up and send them to some other random (or not so random) address.

    That is hilarious but I already threw them out. I was disappointed it wasn’t a book or craft item that I forgot about. Now I need to treat myself

    Maybe tomorrow the mail order bride arrives with it? I'd stick her with the sick kid and go to work.

    I have often thought it would be nice to have a wife. What a thoughtful gift that would be

    Yep. Only things I've received not ordered are subscriptions to Good Housekeeping, jelly of the month club, and a broken me.

    It's a puzzle. All the answers to fixing your broken self is found within the pages of GH, as you snack on your jelly

    We had a fun night at the taping of a comedy show. They even gave my boy a pair of gloves I think cause he was the youngest there.
    We were almost late cause I gave my cancer patient a drive home because his plan was to take the bus!! After chemo!!! Not on my watch 🤣
    We get paid mileage as a volunteer driver so since he hadn't booked a return trip I only got mileage for half but I told him I donate the mileage back to the cancer society so it doesn't really matter

    The best fat burning exercise zone is to work up a sweat but still be able to complain about it in full sentences.

    Yes I was told that you should be able to *kitten* in complete sentences but not be able to sing your bitching. And then some crazy runners told me that you should be able to sing while you’re running but I think they might have been in a cult
