The thing about DHS and Mom is they can do whatever they want. I'm so tired of dealing with it, it isn't even funny. I still have to call Medicare and get Dad on another Part D plan that has no extra fee. Supposedly Dad's will start on time and we can at least put a period after if finally. It isn't fair, but they hold all the cards. I guess we should just be glad that they are paying at all! Seriously! As for the one step forward and two back----we all hate that kind of thing. I get real frustrated with that so easily! It's a control thing----WE know how it's suppose to go---it just won't always cooperate! LOL! We, on the other hand, are in the process of stripping our porch! Good grief! I worked this afternoon on 'cleaning' about 2/3 of the floor---aka on my hands and knees with mineral spirits and steel wool! I had to restrip parts of the other 1/3 and hope to finish 'cleaning' that and putting down the primer tomorrow. IF we get that done tomorrow, then we can paint on Friday afternoon! That will be nice to get it ready to put back together. I'm not sure of the color for the floor. That's another story. Jamie, your boys sound like typical college boys! They're close enough that that experience with the cooking will repeat itself often! LOL! They will probably bring others though! LOL! I know what you mean about the cleaning and recleaning. I swear sometimes I feel like I climb a mountain continually! It's like no matter how much I clean, it just keeps coming! Anyway, don't get down----sounds like a good time to just go shopping/antiquing/something besides working on your house! Ok, I'm fixing to hit it! OH, Mom and Dad were fine today. Dad was actually pretty calm today. Mom was not happy with the eating today. I had another lady---not sure if she's a nurse or what----trying to help me feed her. I told her that gravy would help with the potatoes. I also told another lady that Mom did NOT like greens---she was asking me survey questions about they and LNC----and that it said that it even said that on her card. She looked and it di---she said she'd DEFINITELY take care of that. They also did not have yogurt nor ice cream on Mom's tray. I asked for it. Anyway, not a bad visit really. I did take Mom her new shoes--they fit fine; and took Dad his tobacco, razors and socks. Ok, NOW I'm off to bed! LOL! Love you all, Jeanie
