If I were you, I'd be asking who her conspirator is? She obviously has a "supplier" and you need to find out who it is, fast. I also stay up at night worrying about silly things. Not that your hairy legs are silly - they could be quite hairy and scary! Once I start thinking about something, it usually leads to other things, like a free association game. Before you know it, I'm thinking about an old boyfriend in high school who turned out to be gay at the age of 45 - so glad we didn't get married. See what I mean? So glad I found you through the IWSG. www.dianeweidenbenner.comDihiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246560909358107890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-65374850335622643272016-11-06T23:25:31.348-08:002016-11-06T23:25:31.348-08:00Hi Rhonda, Well, when you put it that way my mom&#...Hi Rhonda, Well, when you put it that way my mom's shenanigans seem mild in comparison!

I'm so glad that your Mom still has a sense of humor, even if it is what keeps you up at night. I'm reminded of some of the things I went through with my father before his death. Today, almost seventeen years later, I'm grateful for much of the humor even though most of it was at my expense.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-92178171910137303172016-11-03T12:16:43.607-07:002016-11-03T12:16:43.607-07:00Crystal - I can't believe your 98-year-old gra...Crystal - I can't believe your 98-year-old grandfather still repairs his own roof!

Better yet, my mom should just write the whole book about how despite her excellent child rearing skills, she still managed to raise a very "disobedient daughter." It's too bad you live so far away, as you'd be the perfect life coach for us! Hope all is well with you too! Thanks Susan!<br /><br />Carol - I'm sure some of those calls were very late at night.

Parts could be serious, but your humor is what would make it shine the brightest. Maybe it's even a project you and your mom could tackle together in some way. I betcha she'd LOVE to put in her two cents' worth about the challenges of dealing with a disobedient daughter. :)<br /><br />Take care.

If I tried to take them away from her, she'd probably find a larger weapon of mass destruction. Thanks for appreciating all of this craziness, Connie!<br /><br />Hi Stephen! "When and how many?" Those words are music to my mom's ears! I can't wait to hear what her new demands will be. Yesterday, I got in trouble for catching her food before it hit her lap. I guess I was pretty lucky that her AK 40 wasn't loaded at the time! Thanks for making my day, Stephen!<br /><br />Nick - Yes, and with good reason. She's one of the youngest people there, as the average age is around 90. So it's a rough group and a gal can't be too careful! Thanks Nick! <br /><br />Julie Empty Nest Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074223969046687064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-10408811484884513972016-11-02T15:58:43.796-07:002016-11-02T15:58:43.796-07:00Joylene - Sounds like a thrilling combination!

Wasted brownies that I personally baked, made me more upset than her contraband weapons! Thanks for following me, Joylene!<br /><br />Chrys - Zombie Apocalypse? Those poor zombies wouldn't even know what hit them! Yes, even the zombies would be afraid of my mom if they dared to cross her! Thanks Chrys!<br /><br />Lee - What makes her even more dangerous is her extensive Mean Girl training from the retirement home that creates the illusion of being everyone's friend with an edge. It's a shame she never went into politics. Thanks Lee!<br /><br />Birgit - Good to see you Birgit! It's amazing how innocent they look on the outside, yet somehow they've taught themselves what they think they need to do to survive in the joint. Our moms would probably feel right at home on Orange Is The New Black! Thanks Birgit!<br /><br />JulieEmpty Nest Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074223969046687064noreply@blogger.com
