OMG! I need a time out!

I really need a time out! I take care of my mother inlaw who has alzheimers, bipolar, manic depressive, and so on. When she has a bad day, I have a bad day. Most days are ok, but lately......I need a time out!

I had to work today, yay for me! And my brother inlaw stayed with his mother til my husband got home. Well, when I got home, it was one of those days.

She started unloading the dishwasher and didn't know what to do with the dishes so she left them all on the counter. No biggy, I put them away. She started laundry, but forgot to close the lid on the washer so it just sat there full of water, no biggy. She started fixing her coffee pot for in the morning, but put the coffee in the tank instead of the filter, no biggy I just clean it up and hope it works (we get new coffee pots alot). She swept the kitchen, but didn't sweep up the stuff and put it in the trash, did that too.

Anyway, I cleaned up all the little messes and sat down at my computer before I fixed dinner. I signed online and checked my email and my books sites.

I trade books on swaptree and a few others. Well....I got a question from one of the trades I made. She asked what the status was on a book I mailed on 11/28. No biggy, really. I message people too about books.

I got offline to fix dinner and I mentioned to my husband about the book not being scanned by the post office, and that it showed 3 others hadn't been scanned either. He agreed it was weird.

After dinner, I got to looking for the mail, he hadn't seen it. My mother inlaw has a bag she carries with her all day. She brings it into the living room with her every morning and takes it to her room at night when she goes to bed. I asked her if she got the mail today. She had, and she started pulling stuff out of the bag.

Anyway, there were my 4 missing books,  my bills I paid, and mail that came in October.

I sent a nice message to the lady and tried to explain as best as I could, and now...I really, really need a time out.
