Welcome to my world!

My life's been crazy since my Daddy moved in with me immediately after my mother's death in October 2010. My one and only kiddo headed to college at Carolina at the end of August. So...I lived on my own, for the first time in my life, for a total of a blissful six weeks. Then, I started the parenting gig with my dad. He's a combination of a grouchy old man, a surly teenager and a temperamental toddler. Needless to say, I get very close to the brink of insanity sometimes. I get through life by finding the humor in difficult circumstances. And for some reason, I wind up in the weirdest situations. I couldn't make this stuff up. So I wind up having lots and lots crazy adventures which make great stories to share with my friends. Writing about my life is so therapeutic. My ramblings range from funny to sad to angry (full of cuss words) to sweet. While my focus is dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a parent to my Daddy, I have lots of random, totally unrelated posts. Whatever's on my mind. I love to make people laugh, and I'm happy to think my readers will get my strange sense of humor. And maybe, people who are in my situation will be encouraged. That's all I can hope for...

Elder Abuse...

...I'm on the brink of it. He just marched into the den and tried to tell me something with vague words and sign language. In a pissy tone of voice. I figured out that he meant the thermostat. I didn't know which house he was talking about. Finally he blurted out "75". I asked him if that was too hot for him. He angrily gestured and complained using random words. Finally, I asked him, not using my inside voice, what he wanted it on. He couldn't give me a number. Fuck, he's getting on my last nerve, which is already frazzled.

I need a vacation. And a beer. Or two or twelve...
