Trials and Tribulations in Texas

Gulf coast
I’m rather at a loss. What can I say about my most recent trip to Texas to see my parents. I really don’t want to spill my guts about a lousy childhood, nor I’m sure do you all want to read about it. Suffice it to say that my Mom and I have never really gotten along.

Mom

My toe nails haven’t been painted in 30 years
I don’t want you to think there was no fun. Mom and I had a great time getting a pedicure, a first for both of us.

Dad
We visited my Dad in the nursing home several times. He’s had several strokes and can only communicate a little.

Aunt Kay
I reached a breaking point and walked out of Mom’s house on Sunday, rented a car and went to stay with my Aunt for two nights. She is truly a sweetheart, a retired RN, and probably the only person that knows and understands my Mom. We had a wonderful visit.

Stormy sky over Texas
Now I’m back home with much to do. Part of that is coming to grips with what to do about Mom. I believe that she’s bi-polar, possibly delusional, and a danger to herself and others when she drives. I’m not asking for sympathy, but am open to suggestions. I have a lot of research to do and will likely blog more about this.

Houston airport

My first time online in over a week. I’m feeling the withdrawls. Sitting in the Houston airport not eating the worse $15 meal I’ve ever seen. Yuck!!!! Fly out at 9am and should be home this afternoon. YEA!!! I’ve missed everyone and make no gaurantees I’ll ever catch up on blog posts. Please accept my applogies. I can hardly wait to return to Arizona. There’s no place like home.

Going to Texas

Monday in the wee hours of the morning before I should even be awake I’ll be flying out of Phoenix to south Texas via Houston to visit my parents. I’ll be gone until next Tuesday hopefully basking in some warmer weather. Although I take my computer, mostly as my photo album to share, I may not be online more than once if I’m lucky. My parents are not computer savvy at all so they can’t understand my withdrawals. Will miss you all immensely and try to catch up when I return. Have a great week.
