:) Thank you. :)
I'm a simple kind of person. I love our home, but since my mil has moved in I feel like a prisoner. I would put on an addition and hire a companion for my mil's I need constant attention addiction.
I would continue to cook for her..help her with showers..wash her clothes, etc....I enjoy that, but someone else has to do the tap dancing
It sounds like you could use a little getaway, lysie. Come go shopping with us - buy your mil a good book and a box of chocolates. Or her own computer? Introduce her to Windows Solitaire!
I wish you had the guest quarters/mother-in-law addition. It would probably be good for ALL of you.
The 'puter makes me nervous.
See...they are alone things for her to do. Can't have that. She doesn't knit, crochet, sew, etc. I tried teaching her latch hook...nope, not interested.
We put in a flower bed for her...today she spent less than 5 minutes outside. She won't even get on her telephone to call friends. Why? I have no idea.
Sooooo, I give up.
Shopping, huh? May I buy lumber for the new addition? LOL
Let's see...since we live in a one story ranch I think I would raise the roof over the garage. That would be a room about 22x22... plenty big for a master bedroom and bath. We'd attach a small screened in deck so we could look at our 12 acres from a different view. Ahhhh!! That's much better.
Thanks for letting me vent.
