Thank goodness that moving day is almost here for Mother and Ned. We move furniture tomorrow....them on Sunday. She was difficult early this week, was happy yesterday, and in the past several hours has been all over the place. About 5:00 PM, we called her and she was sobbing.Right after that I ate three quarters of a medium pan pizza. Pizza delivery is a wonderful thing.
About 8:00 PM she called us. She and Ned were in disagreement about what day of the week it is. Ned was trying to tell her that it is Friday and she was insistant that it was Thursday. Ned wins.
Right after that I found a box of cake mix and a tin of cocoa in the pantry, baked a sheet cake with homemade chocolate frosting and ate a 5 by 5 square right out of the middle.
9:45...Ring Ring...Yes, mother...it is Friday.
I looked through the cabinets and refrigerator but honestly, I don't think I can eat another thing...
On a more upbeat note, Lorelai and I had a shopping day yesterday and were joined about midway through by her roommate Nancy. They LOVE to have their pictures taken. Needless to say, it will be a few weeks before I do any spring clothes shopping. I have to "lose" the pizza and cake!
Hey - I will be thinking about you tomorrow. TG for pizza and chocolate ;-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend. We're all thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is going to be a trying day, and I'm sure there are more to come. But remember that we are praying for you and your family and that everything will be fine in time!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime...pizza and chocolate make everything better!!
I will certainly be thinking about you this weekend...I remember when we moved mama out the house she lived in for 50+ years...very sad day! Good luck and have some more chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! I'm a stress eater too. I totally sympathize! Go shoe shopping, they'll fit! ♥ Diane
ReplyDeleteThinking of you this weekend, and Diane had the same suggestion I was going to make - shoes, hats and purses always fit lol. Kathy (BTW, that looks like a great shop)
ReplyDeleteOnce the move itself is over, at least you won't have to worry about that part of the trauma again!
ReplyDeleteI go for hot fudge sundaes myself!
Good luck--I hope all goes uneventfully this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteyou forgot the marshmallow peeps... microwaved... hee hee hee.
ReplyDeleteLorelai and Nancy look cute in their hats.
ReplyDeleteI can relate all too well to stress eating. I am sitting hear with my jeans undone (if that sounds creepy-sorry), because I refuse to buy new pants in my current size.
Everything will work out well. The getting there part sure has been bumpy. Best of luck on the moving.
I sure hope things go swimmingly for you this weekend. You're all in my prayers. Hang in there...we're all rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteNow, Lorelai's sandals would make anyone want to smile. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of your weekend!! Will be thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteYou make me want pizza...and cake!! :) They help lots!
My thoughts are with you today. I'm sure it will be eventful one but sure to settle down once everyone gets comfortable ~ I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)
