I'm a tad bit livid at the moment. I called my brother because I wanted to tell him I was going to pick up my mom on Thursday and keep her thru the weekend because my sister in law was planning on about 15 people over for dinner and I  don't  want my mom around so many people right now.

Inagine my surprise when he tells me my SIL has tested positive for Covid. The same SIL who my Mom lives with. My brother is going to get himself and my mom tested this afternoon. These two haven't taken this virus as seriously as they should have. If my mom tests positive I'll have to go get another test as she was at my house this weekend. Which means my husband and son will have to do the same. Elevated stress levels....just what I  need right now. 

🤞🙏  Maybe it was a false positive on a rapid test.

Perhaps you all should be tested asap, and not wait on mom's results?  That's what I would do if I were in this situation.

Better a false positive than a false negative!

I'm going in the morning. I'm just gonna to try to stay positive and hope for the best. I talked with my other brother and he reminded me that there's nothing we can do this moment so we just have to deal with things one at a time. 

Thanks for all the positive thoughts and wishes.

I could, but I'm not greedy. I'll settle for 10 inches. LOL

I will if they ever decide to finally come in the house where it is warm!

[Sherye Story Reader]

They never came in here to visit. They decided to go to sleep in their camper. They were tired from the drive. They missed their camper that they live in. They have been away for 3 months from it! Her daughter is sleeping in the car. Hope they don't get cold cause it is really windy outside. Coming from the north.

My brother called to let me know he and my mom both tested negative. Then he asked if I still wanted to get mom tomorrow  🙄. When I  said no and not for a couple of weeks either, he huffed and said he had to go. Asshole.

Well you are doing the right thing regardless of his crappy attitude. You need to protect you and your family. Stay strong and be safe.

Thanks spyke.

At least I  have 4 other brothers who will have my back. This particular brother is feeling the strain from having my mom all the time. However, after my dad died him and his wife insisted on having Mom live with them. My brother up in MA offered to take her last year. My sister in law(the one down here) said no. Now our hands are tied because we can't really move her in the middle of a pandemic and her dementia has progressed to the point where she really can't handle too much change. 

But you're right, I'm doing what's right to protect myself, my husband and my kids.

So I was discussing the day's events with my husband and found myself actually using the word 'fratricide' in a sentence, in the correct context. He merely quirked an eyebrow at me.
