Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Remember Lorenna???? You might be next! Lynn Brain Dead Shopper on Isle 12!!!! Ok, so I go to buy a new dishwasher. Sounds easy huh. In comes brain fog. No, I would say pretty much brain dead. I go to Lowes and spend an hour listening to the pros and cons of each diswasher and it's various components. Now they all look alike. Other customers are beginning to stare. They just want to pick out their appliance and go. I know my blood sugar is already low. On comes a hot flash. Ok, go to fan display and think about how menopause sucks completely. Now the $1,000.00 dishwashers are starting to look like a good budget decision. Or mabye not. Did you say this dishwasher comes with an automatic inflatable housekeeper, or was it the detachable silverware basket? Ok, twelve year old employee walks through the dishwashers again. They are all looking the same still. Alrightie then. Make up your mind...make up your mind...you never intend to load it anyway.... Now, you actually want ALMOND, AKA BISCUIT, AKA BISQUE, AKA OFF WHITE. That is out of style, and it is now a special order with the exception of model F and T. Ok, never mind the piranah hard food disposal. Who loads a whole barbaque chicken in the dishwasher anyway. And what if the piranah gets loose? Now your old outdated desired color is now completely nebulious, just out of reach like that damn pink toilet seat you buy in twos because they are no longer " cool " . Ok, now twleve year old kid who works with that stupid red apron on tells you that you can have the $400.00 model, or the $199.00 model, they have it in stock and ready to go. Ok, pick the one with more testosterone to keep hubby happy picking which button to push like a airline pilot in the cockpit. Thirty minutes later, and I let my kids loose in the fake kitchen section to open and close every door. 12 year old still missing in action. Send kids to reshuffle all paint samples in the home collection. Whatever. If that can't make an employee show up, nothing can. My blood sugar is so low I am now scrounging in the bottom of my purse for lintie life savers stuck to the lining. All employees have now been abducted by aliens. Alas, he comes back, but he is 14 now and has a mustache. Sorry, our computer says that we have 5 of each in stock, but I can't find them. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, leave store with disabled mother now stuck in the wheelie cart, and three obnoxious children who are now looking like something off of Feed The Child Commercials because they have been crawling on the warehouse floor after mom looses all ability to parent in isle 12, and 13, and 14....... Bring Husband back to store without kids. Now those EVIL 14 year olds have put two new dishwashers on display in ALMOND!!! My choices two hours ago were stainless steel, and institutional white. I think I need to be in an institution. Leave without dishwasher, brought home a stove. Now I am wondering if I put the dishes in the oven and turn on self cleaning if they will come out alright.??? Can't tell, stove manuel is in French, Spanish, and Hieroglyphics. I am now like a bad North West Airlines flight. Not ready to proceed until fog disapates. Might be weeks. Final goal completed. Go to Sam's Club and buy crates full of paper plates, bowls, and silverware. Should I go Chinet, paper, or Rinse and Reuse???? Foggy, and unable to sleep, or think. Barbara 1.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Barbara...you have to much to handle and you are doing it with such grace. My hat is off to you. Hang in there. You are really something!! Hugs, Camilla Re: sharing a bed Sharing a bed. I will tell my opinion about sharing a bed! Our four year old is crimminally insane. Therefore she has only slept in our bedroom since infancy. When she was an infant and on monitors at night to let us know if she stopped breathing, or had low or fast heart rate. Then into the crib, and then the crib with the tent on it to keep her in. Finally we have her in a toddler bed in our bedroom. We are working behaviorially to train her to stay in bed. It is going so so. We have to have high locks, and alarms on all doors and windows so that she does not escape. She got out of my parents house twice when they were to be watching her. In the winter, in snow, with no shoes. AAAAAHHHHHh The stuff of NIGHTMARES. Having a child with a disability, and with absolutley no commonsense is a LOT of work. She at four and a half can not be left alone. Now my 7 year old has sleep terrors. She sleep walks, and sleep eats. We have had to stop leaving cookies in actual cookie jars because she gets up and eats the middles of them in bed at night. She then accuses other people of eating in her bed with no memory. Gee the chocolate ring around your mouth is not a strange thing? She is also the one to throw up in her bed and wake up in the morning and say: " " Mommy, someone threw up in my bed last night! " " Ah, the mad bad regurgenatior. Hannah 10, can not sleep. ADD, other isses keep her awake until late in the night. She refuses to sleep in her bed most of the time. The girls have decided that because we aircondition the bedroom with a seperate unit that they like it better in our room. They have made nests of blankets and sleeping bags. You just can't get the whole house subarctic with central air. Now Bruce, who has obstructive sleep apnea, and should always wear his c pap does not. Snore Galore. We are talking jet engine level. I constantly kick him to turn over, adjust his c pap etc. Between all of this, and hurting so much no one is sleeping well. Sometimes I even go sleep in the girls bunk beds. They are not getting any use! I am seriously considering putting all three of the twin beds together and just making one big bed for the girls. They all end up in eachothers beds sleeping like puppies together. I never assume that if you see a head and try to step over one there might be another head that is hiding. Did I plan on the family bed. Heck NO! Do I do what ever I need to do to get some of the little sleep that I get. Definately. I have just decided to pick my battles. It is not like anything amorous is happening with the two of us anyway that they should not be seeing. I would encourage you highly to seek out a sleep professional, and do a sleep study with him. Sleep apnea is a dangerous conditon. It can cause early heart disease and heart attacks, high blood pressure, strokes, etc. It is NOT something to mess with. I guarantee that if his snoring is that bad, then he will get a c pap, or bi pap and feel like superman after about a week. They have lots of models now to fit lots of people. It really is about life and death. I sleep upside down in our waterbed. I just can not stand all of that bumping, and elbowing. If you have seperate comforters, it works great. Having your own bedroom sounds like apretty good deal too! Good luck, and have your doctor talk to him about the snoring and apnea. Best Regards, Barbara 1.
