One day you are overwhelmed with this and that needing to be done, places to go, things to see. Now you are once again the frog of little brain. Everything will be taken care of just go back to what you were doing and mind you own business.

Ah, the little brain forgot about the commander 'n' chief and the wicked witch from the north. Your help is not wanted or needed. Come to find out I don't know what I'm talking about.

My mother is still having the surgery to remove of one of her kidneys. But what or when is still up in the air. Well, or at least not known by the frog of little brain.

Should have never told wicked witch my oldest son and I would be coming before the surgery. Of course exact date of surgery is still unknown. However mom is now expecting us before the surgery. The witch will loan us her broom so we make it there on time. (no one can tell me when that it is) I can see this going to be another one of the loving family gatherings.

I am not to get the jitterbug phone for Mom because I didn't check with wicked witch first. Wicked witch is going to teach her how to use the phone she has now. That fact that she has trouble hearing and since her stroke has difficulties remembering things will not make it difficult for her to use the phone where she must type in numbers.

Do I sound angry and vindictive, probably. I wouldn't at all be surprised. My family has operated under the rules of "he said, she said, no I didn't, yes you did" for so long now it's becoming second nature.

We should be taking care of the person who needs our help. Quiet, calm, caring. Not arguing over who said what, when, how or to whom.

Except for not being so far from my sons, it is probably a good thing my family is scattered across the country. If for no other reason than our own safety.

Did I do a good job of ranting and raving. If not I'll keep trying.
