She was about 47 and completely overwhelmed.
Her neighbor of 15 years, and very close friend was moving away. (Well two miles away but still) This friend has been through more than any one person should have to experience, in the last couple of years.
A couple of weeks ago her friend called the old woman as she was happily commenting on blogs, and asked her to ride along on some errands. While they were out the friend fell ill and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. It turned out to be stress related, which really worried the old woman.
The friends new shoe would not be ready for a month after she had to be out of her old shoe.....so she would be moving in with the old woman, her HoH, her 19 year old that is in from college, and her 9 & 5 year old daughters.
Meanwhile, the old woman's HoH thinks she is having issues with her mouth....this is where the nursery rhyme goes wrong. I have ALWAYS heard the old woman was supposed to spank her children and put them to bed....well, not in this shoe...
In this shoe the HoH spanks the old woman almost every night ( for something about attitude? ) and puts HER to bed!
Then one day the HoH...
Get ready for it.....
Try not to laugh....
Had a small accident and pulled his shoulder out of socket.
Right shoulder.
The old woman's HoH is right handed.
The HoH had a MRI and will need surgery. The old woman now feels as though she has added another child to her shoe for her to care for.
By now her treads are wearing very thin and her HoH is about to hang her from her shoe laces. Even though she has been very sweet to him, and waiting on him hand and foot...;) (well, I was sweet)
Then there is the porridge.....No, she doesn't make porridge, but you see all of the old woman's children (young and old) want to eat. Everyday. Even though they ate the day before, they still want to eat again the next day.....annoying I know. ;) So she cooks and cooks....and cooks.
The old lady felt as though she did not have a minute to call her own and went completely MIA from blogland. She missed everyone there and couldn't wait to get back. She started getting a little snipity, thinking her HoH couldn't do any thing about it.....maybe she WOULD spank them all and put them to bed....hmmm.
That fantasy did not last very long, before the old woman was pulled over the HoH's knee and was shown how proficient he could be with his LEFT hand.....
I know....I hate tragic endings too.
This is my new favorite picture. I text it to Brice when he sends me a text I don't like.
(For instance, telling me to do something he knows I don't want to do lol)
I'm pretty sure you will see her from time to time here ;)
