[font=Comic Sans MS]AN EASIER LIFE WITH G-NANNY


Seems G-Nanny done fell on her fanny,
Which makes this caregiving quite uncanny
‘Cause if your G-Nanny passes out like a light,
She’ll your need help to get herself upright.




Now, please tell me, jackie or sames u, my friends,
Who do you help first when someone upends?
You know you’ve been charged to lend a helping hand
Or will you leave her looking up at cobwebs on your fan?





Besides, what else can go wrong on this nice day…
Oh, my God, in the road I see my cat lay!
But even in tears I can’t talk of my woes
‘Cause G-Nanny’s screaming about vomit on her toes.






My neighbor needs a ladder; Mom uses paper bags;
And the door is now stuck 'cause this old house sags.
The burglar tried to break in; my cat's just a splatter;
And 911 is...well, what the heck does it matter?






Oh, Lord, give me peace and I’ll take a little rest, too,
‘Cause you know how tired I am of the piss and the poo.
But, hey, my Good Savior, seems I’ve caught my second wind
So, I’ll sign off for now and seek out a cyber friend.[/font]

Oh Joyce, Joyce, Joyce - I can barely type this as I am just laughing my butt off. I can't wait till sames u reads this. You my friend made the rest of my night. I will surely go to bed still laughing uncontrollably. I can't wait to have hubby read this.

Thank you so much for the laughter you brought into this "passing out situation". Granny nanny seems to have it under control from what she tells me. She went to the doctor, and he suggested she take her meds only at night, and supposedly checked her out from head to toe. Plus the sinus infection she had he said may have had something to do with it.

I guess time will tell. She needs this job, and I need her, so we will both be very cautious of this situation.

Thank you so much again for the laughter.

Jackie

Oh my gosh, Joyce, I would have to read this at 3 A.M.! Thanks a lot! Had to muffle my laughter with my robe sleeve so I read through it peeking over my elbow! I've laughed til my stomach hurts. Now, I can't even drink my coffee. With every sip ~ I snort ~ and fog up my glasses!

You have MADE MY DAY!!! I THANK YOU!!! This is HILARIOUS!

Love,
Sam

Oh, great! Now that I turned on the lights I see where I not only snorted but ~ spewed ~ coffee on my nice, clean robe. That means I'm going to have to get OUT of it today! Darn!

hahahahaha (I just had to come back one more time! I'm STILL laughing!)

Thanks again, Joyce, this is so cute!!!

Sam,

Me too, I just had to read it again. Only this time I laughed so hard, Mom heard me when she got up to go to the bathroom. I had to lie and tell her it was too early to get up so I could have more coffee time alone.


Jackie

Joyce, you are a riot!
I was able to hold in my laughter until I got to "vomit on the toes". Then I just busted up.

Jackie, sames u, Lori

I'm so glad you got a good laugh from the "ditty." I have to admit I was cracking up, too, while writing it and looking for clip art. But then, I started cracking up reading the posts about the trials and tribulations of caregiving. Brought back such "sweet" memories!!!

Lori, it's always good to hear you say something about having laughed. I like that.

For me, using humor a lot with Mother got us through some touchy times. Before AD, I was always joking around, with AD I got even sillier, and after AD, I can't seem to stop the "running of the mouth" with kidding around. And that's even with strangers, particularly Wal-Mart greeters who always looked so sad and kinda' sickly! I've been thinking about getting a karoke machine and auditioning as a greeter, perhaps at Target although I would prefer Wal-Mart because of higher volume traffic. I can't sing but then most of the greeters I try to engage in conversation can't greet!

Have a great day and don't forget to laugh about something!vvv

Joyce

I believe you, Joyce! I was a stranger here, and look how you ran your mouth with me and Jackie!


...The laughter continues!...


Sunday I, uh, cleaned the ceiling fans ...
(in my still dirty robe)


Yesterday - speak of the devil - I got a Christmas card from The Burglar's sister ...
(just told Mom I was...laughing at...how old and fat they are now)


A friend called to tell me we are having a Christmas party--here? It really is Christmas? ...
(if "we" don't get it all done, I'll upend a nanny TO look up at the fans)


Today's to-do: Soak, and wash robe ...
(so I'll have something to wear, if the party starts too late)


HEY, Joyce, why don't you come sing at my party!!!


You can be my greeter anytime!!!
