The Story Of Us

a few week stretch

Work has been flowing fast. We have enough merchandise to tag for a year or more and the drop offs aren't slowing down.

Our auctions are helping but now we have to figure out an extra means of creativity to find some floor space

In the mean time.The funny's from the last few weeks.

My Mother has had a head ache for over three days. Now, I have a chronic pain disorder and take medication regularly to control it. All legal, all prescribed. My Mother ask if I have anything she can take for a head ache. Without thinking, I tell ger yeah big bottle in my bag. Now. I am thinking my extra stregth tylenol bottle is in the bag. My mother asked me to clarify the big bottle. I respond yep the big one. Nothing else is said. An hour passes by and my son one and son three come find me at the cash register to ask "What in the hell have you done to Granny?" My look is confused obviously. They both look and tell me, "You better go check on your Mother!"

I leave tge front and head to the auction arrea. U find my Mother barely sitting up in the chair shes in. I hold up my fingers and ash her how many fingers am I holding up. She responds I don't know but its a bunch. I asked her if she was ok and she responds. "I don't know how you can walk around after taking your medicine. We realize the big bottle is my pain meds and not the Tylenol bottle that she's gotten into.

I get the boys and they help my Mother up and walk her to the last pew in the back of the auction area and lay her down. She falls over passing out telling the boys she doesn't know how I do it.

Walking back to the front I call my father to let him know Mom will not be home on time. That for dafety reasons she is rrsting and will be home later.

I now walk around being asked if I plan on drugging my Mother again. My Mother now walks around telling me she will never ask me for headache meds again.

We didn't make a tik tok of her thid time. However next time, if there is one. It's game on.
