The 4-wheeler said NO WAY when it came to the drifts going to the sheds so I started up my snow shovel and we shoveled some paths yesterday.... At least the shovel will start in any weather or temp. and maintenance cost is low. Cheap to run too as it burns calories instead of gas... but I have to admit it only runs as long as this "old bag" does. : )
I always have my girls prodding me along.. "Come on mom, you can do it!! " They try out the paths to see if they are wide enough and if they think I'm slacking they will knock a bunch of snow back where I've shoveled.. I told them if they keep it up I'll get them some doggie shovels and they can clear the paths... '
They know when they have pushed their luck as I start hollering at them. So they knock me in th
But they don't let me take things too serious and we find fun in most things we do... They keep me going and are amazing in helping me with Tom.
Tom comes out every few minutes to see if I'm okay.... Than he says "that's good enough get in the house"... I say, "In a minute. I just have this little bit left." A few minutes later he's back.... But that's okay because than I know he's not getting into trouble in the house by himself because he's too busy worrying about what I'm doing outside. : )
He is becoming a little more challenging these days as he drifts off into his own little world... Because he is young and physically fit and he is losing sight of his mental deficits, as in not aware........ and his reasoner is broke so we don't want to try to reason as that brings on anger that can instantly turn to rage..... and with his control button broke too ..... OH BOY! Ya just don't want to go there.
Someone recently said to me...."But it's just a memory thing, isn't it?
It doesn't help when all these well meaning people who seem to all have "Medical Degrees" of some kind? They talk to him and see nothing wrong with him so they encourage him to do things that are not possible for him / US to do. WHICH in turn creates the scenario above.....
I would like to CHALLENGE any of the above well meaning people to take Tom for a week end...... : ) I could use the break!
PS......For the most part....When people are working WITH me... He's just a cute, fun loving giant 7 year old and I'm Mom to him and the girls (dog)... That's okay with me because every one is happy.
