Cootie Bingo

Last night I met with the youth pastor of our church. It was a great meeting and I think good things are going to come from it. I am gonna be helping with the youth group in the fall and I am very excited about that.

I told you yesterday in my post my mom is hiliarious. I will now share the story of her bingo experience with the kids that go to school with my kids. My mom does not spare words she never did but since her stroke it is worse. I think she lost that filtering ability so when she thinks something it comes out. The kids had found out she was my kids grandma so of course they were automatically drawn to her. They were helping her play bingo and happened to ask her what she had for dinner. Now she calls the sausage things they serve there donkey dick. So yeah that is what she told them she had for dinner. The kids thought that was hiliarious! So she continued on saying some more inappropriate things and they continued to laugh. After bingo they were helping her back to her room. They were waiting for the elevator and some guy in a wheelchair was in front of her she was not being patient about the situation. She says to the kids move him the fuck out of my way I need to get to my room I gotta poop LOL. They all thought she was hiliarious and for the most part she is but not around teenagers LOL. One night I was visiting her and she was in the dining room with some ladies at her table. I said hi mom are you enjoying your visit with these ladies. She said are you kidding me they don't even know who the fuck they are let alone be able to talk to me. I said mom shhhh they can hear you. She said I don't give a shit! I just love her. I try not to laugh when she says these things but OMG you can't help it. She has a few friends she likes to visit with but she mostly cannot tolerate the other ones. I feel bad for the other people because they seriously sometimes don't have a clue who they are or where they are. Like one night I had a lady ask me if it was raining out because she had to walk home. I said no. She said good. Then she continued on about how she had to get home because her mom was at home. I was thinking in my head OMG if your mom is at home she has to be least 150 beause this lady was 90 or 100 or something like that. I kept telling her that she could stay the night there and she said no. Finally, I convinced her to stay that they had a bed for her and if she wanted she could try to make it home the next day. The whole while my mom was aggravated. Yes she gets aggravated when I talk to other residents because she wants my full attention which I understand but it is hard not to respond to them when they are asking you something or confused. Last night after my meeting I went to visit her because it was just down the road and OMG it was cootie bingo night. She was up and excited about cootie bingo. Before her stroke she loved bingo she used to go all the time. I wheeled her down for bingo 45 minutes early because she said it gets packed. She was right 10 minutes after we were there all the tables were full. She was excited to win money and I loved seeing her so excited about doing something. She is so damn cute! I sat with her and got everyone at her table arranged for bingo. You see they play with 5 playing cards and when they call your card you move it forward and win money. When all 5 cards are called you yell BINGO. The caller gets up to start calling and my mom yells new caller this guy sucks!!! I was like MOM??? Everyone started laughing. Bingo continued and she kept yelling shake those balls up...shake those balls up! She was having a blast! I love to see her happy in fact I had tears in my eyes because she does not get that excited or happy about much of anything so it was nice to see her that way. Nick sat in the hallway watching Seinfeld while we played. I was helping everyone around her to move their cards forward because most of them had not a clue what they were doing. It was nice. When I go and visit and help other people it always makes me feel good. I usually help feed people mostly but regardless it is nice helping them. They get a big smile on their face because they feel like someone does care. Believe it or not there are alot of people there that get no visitors EVER! I just don't understand that and I try to explain to my mom that is why I help them to put a smile on their face. She understands but she gets jealous.

Tomorrow is Dom's last day of school and I have a joke planned for him tonight. While he is in the band banquet I am going to paint his windows on his car LOL. Not only am I gonna paint them I am gonna put things on it like I LOVE JOHN MCCAIN!!! OR I SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!! Everytime I think of it ... it makes me laugh! He is such a liberal! When he goes to school tomorrow the kids will crack up because everyone in that school knows his political views LOL. It should be fun and yes I will take pictures for the blog LOL.

Well, I better get to work ughhh! I hope everyone has a great day!
