gee, man, i lost a day somewhere. when i posted the entry yesterday, i thought it was monday. wow! you'd think i had consumed a six pack and a dove. unfortunatley, not so.

i spent all day at the va hospital with daddy in law. what a horrid horrid place. all the men walk around like zombies, getting the crappiest care available. well, at least they don't have to pay a fortune for it like the rest of us.

i guess there aren't many women who venture there under the age of 50. seemed like i was the bell of the ball, several men stopping to say hi to me and checking me out behind my back.

and as we sat there waiting for the nurse to give us colonoscopy prep instructions(like i don't know...hehe), a man walked slowly down the hall with his wife, struggling to do so. duane looked at me and said, "it's terrible to get old." yes, duane, indeed it is.

duane's not an old man by any means. he's just in his fifties. i mean, kind of funny, my husband's father is barely twelve years older than me. his mom is two years older than my oldest sister. oh i'm such a craddle robber.

funny story that, too. when i met mark, his mom was none too pleased about us dating. first of all, i was older and had a kid already. secondly(are you ready for this "insight"?)i was a nurse, and i guess, according to her, nurses are bad, loose women. i'm laughin. course most of us did look at things differently and more openly. i mean, you can't see all we saw without doing so.

seeing as mark never dated anyone his age and always dated older women(even in high school) it must have been the nurse thing that really got to her. well, plus she was good friends with his recent ex girlfriend at the time, but well...course, it also freaks his mom out that i'm the only woman he listens to and can, to a certain extent, control him. plus she can't figure out why he respects me but can't respect her. that really gets her.

oh, aren't mothers wonderful? now the woman never talks to me. she's scared of me, because i've threatened on more than one occassion to kick her fucking selfish ass and she knows that if i ever get a chance, my hands will be around her neck, squeezing her worthless life from her body.

see, lots of us have mother in law problems...lol...

ok, been craving a Subway...don't know why. so i'm outta here to run to the store and grab a sandwich.
