I can't believe she's saying this. . . .

November 1, 2012

Just more nada-isms I guess.

Last week she informed me that I'm just not " me. " I asked what she meant. She

said I'm not acting like myself, that I'm too nice. So I said, " You want me to

tone down the Little Miss Sunshine behavior? " and she said yes because I

was just too happy to be real.

Monday she was in love with us because we rushed over to clean up and repair her

broken toilet line that flooded her bathroom and hallway (hubby had to cancel

his tutoring session with 3 kids and his visit with his hospice patient). Today

she's ranting about things going missing (as she has been for the past year).

She was looking for some list of phone numbers. She said, " It was here when J.

came over to fix the toilet and then it was gone when he left. I can't

understand why he would take a list of phone numbers. " I told her that he

wouldn't. Besides she was missing that list a week or two ago and has been

complaining about it.

Then it was my turn. She said, " I don't understand why things are getting moved

around or go missing. Does someone hate me? You wouldn't do that to me, would

you? " I said absolutely not. And then she says, " After all, you're getting

everything when I die; why would you do things to upset me? " I was good; I

didn't get snarky. I told her that we come over and help because we want to, not

because we're trying to hang on to some inheritance. Then she was upset and

said, " Wouldn't it be nice to get all this money and the house? " I just said,

yeah, it would be nice. We've been through this before where I tried to explain

that I don't expect her to leave things to me, they belong to her to do what she

wants. That ticked her off that I wasn't excited to get all her stuff.

After her ranting about this and that, then she said, " Oh, I feel so much

better. " Well, good for you. I figure the worst that can happen is she'll disown

me, never want me to come over again. She came close to that a couple weeks ago

but then she wanted company.
