Good bad and ugly...

My mom is and was the brains of the family. She had the energy of a high school girl. She is still hyperactive. My dad never helped her much. Dot does the bills now. That is becoming a problem. Last month she recieved the electric bill, it was 3 times the normal amount. So she went on a mission to turn off everything electric. No one can turn a light on without her telling us to turn the light out. In reality she didn't pay the electric bill for 3 months. So there you go. I wonder what other bills she is forgetting to pay? She does not want any help doing the bills. She knows what she is doing she says. Several years ago, maybe 4 years ago, I was coming to dinnner, I asked Dot if she needed me to bring anything over for dinner. No she said, dad bought fried chicken and jo-jo fries. Yum! I got there and there was one jojo fry and one chicken tender for each of us! I guess we are on a diet. Sometimes its as if she is the great depression. She will save every bit of leftover food. Two tablespoons of canned spinich. Oh dear what shall I do? I try to through things away, but she will get them out of the garbage. It won't get any better will it?
