You need pants — Lemony Tales

You know the phrase "When life gives you Lemons then make Lemonade". With a name like mine I get called Lemony a lot so it must be accurate. Two years ago my entire life was up in the air. Husband lost his job, my store is closing, one graduating and moving to another continent, husband diagnosed with Alzheimer's. You know, the kinda stuff that knocks you flat. Since then we are trying our best to make lemonade. I work six days a week in two different jobs, maintain the house, pay the bills, keep up with hubbie and his state, keep an eye on three adult children. So why read about me? I won't take this lying down and I won't give up. I will keep juggling all my balls in the air and have as much fun and laughter as I can. So come along for the ride. We will laugh, cry and grumble along the way.

Oct 17 You need pants

It’s time for a shower and I have put clean clothes in the bathroom for Joe. After his shower he comes in in his underwear and puts the clothes away. He then takes out a sweatshirt. It’s warm I tell him try a T-shirt. We go through the why of it. And now you need pants. He gives me a look “Why”. Umm cause you do. “Can I wear this he asks”. That’s another sweatshirt. You can wear it if your cold but you still need pants. I never thought I would need to convince my husband on the importance of pants.
