Things that make me laugh & cringe at times

Doris: thank you for the new lotion
Me: wait that's my new lotion, I couldn't find it
Doris: oh good because I don't like the smell of that lotion

Doris: I really like your new jeans, they are darker and your butt doesn't look so big
Me: Thank you
Doris: They sell these things that hold your stomach in, that would help too...
Me: Yes spanx. I have some, thank you for your help...

Doris: let me see your nails, oh I like that color, that other one was awful...
Me: Well I liked the other one or I wouldn't had them use that color
Doris: I think it looked nasty....

Can you say broken filter.. The ole girl doesn't have one anymore.. Gotta laugh

Me: I need the name of your heart doctor
Doris: I can't find my address book with all the info wrote in it, but I think he is Mexican, his name is Juan & his office is across from the grocery store
Me: I'm going to need a little more info than that..... The next day
Doris: excitedly I remember my heart doctors name
Me: good what is it
Doris: I wrote it down so I'd remember it..... Dr Sanjay Gupta.... Looking please with herself..
Me: Dr. Gupta is a doctor on TV, he does a morning news show sometimes.... I don't think you can afford him
Doris: well I guess I will keep thinking....
Doris: I don't know why I'm so sleepy, all I do is sleep... I think I will go lay down
Me: ok ~ a few hours later doris you need to get up! you're sleeping too much & you'll be awake all night....
Doris: ok, gets up , sits doing word search puzzles or reads for a couple hours ~ I'm so tired I think I will lay down....
Me : In my head, whatever
Next morning:
Me: how did you sleep?
Doris: I was awake all night! I just laid there..
Me: you think it could be you slept too much during the day?
 Doris: I don't know, I'm going to lay down for awhile I'm really tired...
What a twisted cycle that needs to be broken, reminds me of a baby with its nights & days mixed up.... However the other part of me thinks how much alone time I can have if she's sleeping... Better go wake her up .

This morning: Time to wake up:
Doris: I feel so refreshed, I left the little heater off, I think that is was too warm in my room..
Me: could be, glad you feel better..
Doris: goes to bathroom, comes out & says I'm going to lay down I am just so tired...
Me: screaming in my head..... you've been up for 15min....
