Every day we don’t know what George’s mood is going to be like. He never lives the same day twice and he’s never really in each day. He doesn’t know what he wants where he wants to go and we can’t help. 90% of the time he’s in a bad mood about one and every 10 days. I get a calm day like the last v

Most days George is just in a bad mood. This is what it’s like to try and talk to him. Most of the time he doesn’t stay in the conversation he’s talking about something completely different. It’s like his eyes aren’t attached to his brain. He has automatic responses like my name, even though he doe

Getting stuff for girls is so easy. But what do you do for boys? Not that some don’t like flowers but not all do. So, just a add extra . Glue anything you want to a stick and put it with the flowers. I buy one or two bouquets from the supermarket and then I split them up. The store will give you ex

Even though George is not gone, he’s not with me anymore. We held out hope for a long time that his brain would fix and he would remember himself or any of us. But after 3 1/2 years, it does not look like that will happen. It’s hard to grieve somebody who still alive. And you definitely can’t move

Work is not an option. Definitely some nights are better then other #work #worklife #me #job #longshoreman

OK, if you really wanna save money and make cake balls the easy way, just buy a cake. I like to use lemon cake and dip it in almond bark. It’s a vanilla chocolate. People really tend to like that combination but we do all the flavors, including chocolate and vanilla, fun Fetty and so on. Just buy a

The Wheelchair ramp looks really good. You can hardly tell it. It is a wheelchair ramp. They have done such a great job. I’m really happy with the outcome. There’s a few small little things, but nothing large. I don’t know what type of lights to put on the house and on the brick post that match. I

Here is an update on George and his behavior. It’s a control and hard to manage. Doing the best that I can. It’s not something that anyone’s familiar with so not all that people can help. #selfimprovementmindset #update #dr #medicine #life

Sometimes it’s nice to not do balloons. Like this sign, I can just paint it put it up without making a bunch of noise putting up and popping balloons. #diy #banner #poster #partytime #decoration

Front yard is coming along soon. The porch will be done concrete coming. Really hope George would’ve liked it. #Home #house #follow #ada #ramp

What do you think? I’m always curious to know if I’m just overly sensitive. I am a very inclusive person so I don’t understand exclusion. I was also taught consideration. Then I have to remember that not everybody was raised the same. But it does seem like common sense. #right #friend #everyon

I wear very bright clothes. I get a lot of compliments on how bright and cheerful I look . I don’t always feel bright and cheerful, but sometimes my clothes help me. And sometimes I just lighten up someone else else’s day and that’s good too. #clothes #color #shower #fun #yes

Things are only getting harder with George not easier so I decided to put in a wheelchair ramp. Wanted to make sure it looked good with the house so I’m building a porch. I think it will look nice and I hope George would’ve been happy with the outcome so follow along and see how it goes. #tbi #wh
