Can I say not a dull moment around here....... ?
Tom had a 7:45 appointment at the local clinic for some routine blood work...... He didn't sleep well (he doesn't anyway) as he would wake me and ask if he can drink water??? He is use to sipping on pop or coffee (de-caf) during the night.......
I had to chuckle to myself as he has NEVER, in our entire years together...... if he was to fast for blood work... he still had his coffee. NOW this particular night he brought up the water issue before we went to sleep and during the night but come morning he had his coffee without questioning it.
The morning was flowing smoothly........ I kept reminding him that 7:45 was the apt. but we could arrive anytime and it would be fine.........
We finally all headed out the door to the van... The girls go everywhere with us so they excitedly led the way. Tom put them in the side door and his (passenger door) was locked. He waited for me to unlock from my side BUT mine was locked too???? (I never lock it in the yard)
I went in the house to get the spare key as the main set was in the ignition in the van. Now I am starting to feel panic in my chest...... I sense an explosion ready to happen...... something is not right and it's going to ignite the fuse in Tom's irrational head. Did I say "short" fuse?....... Well I meant to say SHORT fuse in Tom's irrational AD head.
We close the van doors and I turn the key and......NOTHING! "OH SHIT!" I said to myself and my head started spinning...... (Not Literally) lol. "What's wrong... what's the hold up?" He demands in a strong voice........ "The battery appears to be dead" I replied back with a strong voice an very matter of fact-ly.
Staying calm and in control on the outside but FREAKING OUT on the inside I was...... He has been displaying the Jeckle & Hyde personality on a daily bases and he flips back and forth with no warning and not always triggered by the unexpected as in this case. There has been paranoia rages also.......
Now if you don't know... I will tell you the EFFECT this has been having on me..... I am physically exhausted from doing EVERYTHING for "US" = 6 of us...... "doing everything" = everything that does NOT require a riding lawn mower OR 4-wheeler.
Than there is the sadness.... that never leaves your heart ......as the days turn into months and years... ever so slowly watching your spouse change...... and watch him (her) losing a little piece at a time..... of themselves... who they are.... the relationship you once had...... the life you once lived and the future you looked forward to....... together?
AND than there is the financial burden of turning pennies into dollars and seeing to it "HIS NEEDS" are met ... the bills are paid and there is a roof over his head and his belly is full and "where is all the $$$$$"....... I want.... I want..... ARGH!!!!
So with all the above being my "EXCUSE" .......... I had left the key "on" in the van the night before when I went to shut the windows in case it rained....... OOOPS! And no I wasn't stupid enough to tell him that... I played stupid?
He yelled for me to get the battery charger but for some reason???? and I KNOW the difference....... I brought him the air compressor...... ?????
That didn't set well with him now in a rage......... I'm laughing now as to look back it was FUNNY. But at the moment.... his behavior was like a 3 year old in a full blown temper tantrum........ which was just plain pissing me off at this point...... So I ignored him and called my brother in law and he gave us a jump......
Once at the clinic he was loud... complaining of sitting there for hours... after less than 10 minutes.... demanded to go in NOW.... he had work to do... didn't have time for them to be sitting around gabbing..... he came out still mouthing off... loudly.... "I have no patience for this ..... and it's bull shit having to sit and wait for hours to get in when they are just.............." people are now chuckling..... whispering..... and staring......
I smile... hold my head up high and depart trailing behind him like this is normal........ I did tell one guy in there he has Alzheimer's so hopefully he filled in a few inquisitive minds.......
I had a few short stops to make on the way home and as we drove in our driveway he said... "MOM I'm hungry"........
❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥Someone Asked Why?❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥
Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.
He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......
So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.
As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.
She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."
I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.
So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....
