thursday, again

It completely amazes me how fast time goes. When I was a little kid, I was sure that we had at least 6 months off for summer vacation. It sure seemed like it was that long. I remember the first time I realized that it was 2 months, I was floored. We were outside playing, every day. And it seemed to last forever. Now I hardly get to do anything besides work and time flies by.

The husband took his parents out for a drive today to get them out of the house. They are getting antsy. We are beginning to see that they were probably going to the grocery store all the time because they were bored. They spend a lot of time sleeping. I think because they don't have anything else to do to pass the time. I wish that we could find them something other than scratch-off's and the casino to occupy their time. She used to love to read, but now she can't concentrate long enough to read. She used to do ceramics, but now her hands are too shaky. And even if she wanted to do any of it, now, he wouldn't let her go. He is so controlling and needs to be within eye sight of her at all times. He has word searches that he likes to do. He has his scratch offs and the casino.

If for nothing else, this has made me realize that I need to get some hobbies. I will need to have something to do when time stops passing so quickly again!
