every morning i wake up and do my "gma check". some days she makes it easy sitting in her chair reading the newspaper. other days i walk through out the house into the back yard and around the corner where i find gma digging through trash or trying to move a 20lb cement block.
i usually try NOT to let her see me when i get up. when i have to yell, repeat myself three times and wait for her to get close enough to hear me say "good morning gma" usually puts me in a bad mood so i do my best to avoid it first thing in the morning. as long as i know where gma is and what she's doing, i know she's fine.
it seems like the days gma's "being good" just sitting there reading her paper are the days she argues with me for no reason at all. a few minutes ago as i walked to the front door, i waited until she saw me and when she looked at me walking out i nodded my head saying "whats up gma"(without words). she turned her head and looked back at her paper. i asked her what was wrong then she looked at me and said "i'm mad at you". i closed the door, walked closer to her and asked her why she was mad and she tells me "i'm mad at you because you were mad at me the other day so i don't want to talk to you"
i didn't even bother responding. all i keep thinking about is...
it's gonna be one of those days....
