So this is my first attempt at blogging.
About 5 days ago we lost power and heat at our house due to the severe cold here in Arkansas and my mother(whom lives with me,or I with her)have been staying in the fabulous motel 8 in lovely downtown Harrison Arkansas.It has actually been great kinda like a mini vacation,not like I needa vacation cause I don't do anything anyway.
Interestingly,my mother and I have been managing not to get on each others nerves,living in one room.
I think it's because people have to make an special effort to get along knowing they will be basically living on top of each other.
It's very strange living with someone,the kids left about 2 years ago and it has been really lonesome.I have basically been traveling around the country,chasing my own Ass,not knowing what to do with myself,I was gonna spend the rest of my life traveling arond alone like a ghost that nobody sees.
It's interesting,how someones hard times for someone else can become a saving grace for two people.
What I mean to say is that my mother had come to the point where she could no longer get out or cook by herself and was not getting the care she needed in NY.
After speaking to my Daughter (I had to feel her out to see if she was comfortable with me living close buy,due to my controlling,pushy,ways)we decided to get a place in Akansas where my mother and I could see Yaffah and my Grandbaby,Tarron as often as possible.
So thats how that happened.The good thing is ,taking care of my mother gives me far more than it does her.PURPOSE!!! Since my kids left,I have been without purpose.
Don't get me wrong,it aint easy living with your Momma ,but it's all good except that I would much rather hang out and be high
