Maple Syrup
So did you know that mopping with Maple Syrup is not the best way to clean. Well, for some reason my grandmother did not know that??? For those that do not know my grandmother is now living with our family. It really was suppose to be for a really short time and she has been there since November. I have tried to find alternate living for her but with my full schedule there is only so much I can do and with my family not wanting to help. Oh yes they do not want to help their own mother. There has been the excuse of I don't know what to look for or I don't want her to be mad at me for putting her in a home. It has been so frustrating! Oh yea let me get back to the maple syrup. So we went to cubbies as we always do on Wednesday nights, we returned home and the floor was filthy. I did not know what it was but became very frustrated because I had not eaten yet and now I had this mess to clean. So I went to the pantry to try to find something to eat and noticed that a new maple syrup had been opened and almost half of it was gone. So I fixed the lid and put it back up. I then proceeded to my grandmother's room and asked her "What is all over the floor?" She told me "nothing I moped the floor". I told her "no it is filthy with streaks all over the floor." She then replied " The mop stinks so I got this brown bottle and used it to make the floor clean and smell better." I then said "That was not cleaner it was MAPLE SYRUP!" So yes I came home last night to a living room, hall, dining room and kitchen covered in maple syrup! Oh the ants that will feast today. Did I mention that there was also coke on our dishwasher (on the outside) cabinets and counter!! I still did not eat dinner. Whew gotta love going home!!!!!

Shut up! NO WAY she mopped your house with maple syrup! LOL!!! That has to be one of the funniest stories I have ever read! Seriously, that is classic! I am sorry your family is not helping you more. How frustrating...every family has their "weaknesses" when it comes to alternative care for loved ones. I know it was extremely difficult for my mom and her siblings to make decisions about my Papa. If you ever need to vent to some one who has an idea about the situation you are in please call me! You are an amazing granddaughter!
Thank you so much!!! I just think oh the stories I will have to tell the boys.. Hey remember when...... I will totally take you on your offer to vent, it is nice when someone understands sometimes. :)
