Tired And Irritated

Hello Everyone:

It’s another Sunday evening and I’m tired but I’ll try to get a few words down. Mum’s carer can’t start tomorrow because she has a situation with her mother. Okay, that was sudden.  True or not it definitely casts doubt the n her reliability. The carer says she can start in a couple of weeks but I’ll believe when I see it. Makes me wonder if she fully intends to commit to the job or just squeeze it in when she has a free moment. I really wish mum would find someone with the proper training, not someone who likes to help the elderly. Needless to say I’m not happy about the delay because I was so looking forward to getting a serious break from mum duties. The constant state of exhaustion has left me extremely irritable to the point where the slightest thing will set me off. For example, mum picking out most of stuff in a salad someone dropped by, leaving me just the lettuce and a token tomato. Mum’s friends are a constant source or irritation. Not once have any of them asked me if I’m alright or would like a break from the drudgery. They thought a birthday card and fake good cheer would make things right. It does not. I really wish they would stop coming around and go pester someone else. Sis is another person that irritates me to no end. She floats in, runs her mouth, makes all sorts of decisions without even asking for my thoughts. Considering I have to deal with the daily real and imagined complaints, I think know better. In short, I can’t stand anyone at the moment.  Anyone in the immediate circle.  If Sis wants feel like she’s doing her familial duty than she can either come over and help out around the house or pay for cleaning help and groceries. Anyway, as I said, I’m tired.
