Well, first of all a big "welcome back" to Jess! Thanks for the little kangaroo!

Anyway, right now I'm in my room updating on the laptop. I know it's kind of pointless for me to bring the laptop up here when I have a computer in here already, but I do have my reasons. This computer is faster, and gets better internet reception. And when I play the sims, the control panel doesn't disappear on the laptop. And I don't want to update downstairs in the midst of the yelling and stress that I'll get to in a moment, not to mention that my room has air conditioning when downstairs does not.

Now, about the yelling and stress. I'm afraid it's time for another update from the "grandma corner". Apparently the tumor that started this whole thing is growing back. Yeah, I know. Not good. Not to mention that this past week there was the whole issue with her moving to the long-term wing, so needless to say my mother is really stressed out. Add into this that the GE repair man is coming tomorrow to fix the microwave and the stove, so she has to clean out underneath it and everything which is a hassle. She's just been very testy all day. Like, when she got home from Stews earlier she asked us to go carry down the groceries/laundry that was up there, so I went to get my headphones so I could listen to Rent on my ipod while I did it, and she was like "No. Just go up and carry down the laundry! By the time you find your headphones your brother could have done it!" and I practicly had my hands on the headphones at that time. It's not like they were lost. What's the big deal if I want to have my ipod on? It's better than listening her yell at everyone about every little thing!

some advice I hope?
I'm sorry your life's stressful right now. I know it's not easy, especially if your mom isn't in the greatest of moods from stress, but if you help her out in anyway you can, it will ease her load and make her more liveable.

I try to do at least one random act of kindness a day for my mom, because she's so stressed. Pill Casey, do the dishes, make dinner, etc. Any little thing helps.

Put yourself in her shoes. If you were trying to take care of her, you would want your daughter to help out. (I know you don't want kids but we're playing pretend here! lol Work with me)

This isn't a lecture, I promise, I'm trying to help you out. First hand advice, my grandma was sick too, and my mom was pre-occupied by that for a good 6 years at least. And she still has to worry about my grandpa, as well as my dad. She's not always in the greatest of moods as a result.

I hope I helped, not hindered. And I wish the best towards your whole family!
