copy/paste to grab my button:
She drives me NUTS!!!! I took off work to do the Christmas shopping thing with her on Monday. We started at 8:30 AM and I dropped her off at home at 7ish (that night).
I was doing pretty well even though in the first 10 minutes she commented about how I just rolled out of bed and got her. Which I actually took a shower AND put on makeup. But I guess I still looked like shit.
I did good when she tried to make the poor girl at Drysdales run her legs off looking for something that didn't exist - black steel toe boots.
I was maintained while she told me for the 470th time that she used to work at Drysdales and they need to make sure she is happy.
I was a good girl while at JCP she called the cashier a "stupid bitch" . It was where only I could hear it, but really? Where's the Christmas spirit?
Then Walmart. Walmart is evil all on its own without the Nana.
So while I was trying to decide between pushing the Nana into their Christmas tree and running. Or choking her and stuffing her in a $5 DVD bin.
I used my secret weapon. Valium. Yes drugs. Illegal-not-prescribed-to-me-drugs. My friend gave me one just for the CNE. Crazy Nana Emergency.
I took it and it was heaven. I didn't feel drugged up or anything. Just mellow. Just less angry and lashy-outy.
I want more drugs.
Because I will be seeing the nana a LOT before Christmas is over. More shopping. I have to wrap all the presents (because she's too busy and doesn't know how) and stocking stuffers.
And that's my dilemma. How to go to my doctor and say "Yo, I need some Valium. Because the nana is crazy. Not regular "old people crazy" but CRAZY CRAZY. And I took an illegal valium and it made life better, so can you hook a sistah up?"

That's awesome! I bet your dr will TOTALLY understand!!
I think that's exactly what you should say the doc...who knows, he/she may have a crazy Nana too! I have crazy in-laws. I need a valium. Especially for the Holidays. My FIL ALWAYS makes me wrap every single one of the gifts that he's giving. Pisses me off, b/c I suck at it anyway...and I get all mine wrapped then I have to wrap his.
The whole choking her & stuffing her a 5 dollar DVD bin made me giggle :)
I feel for you and can relate. Things overwhelm me and sometimes pills make things easier. Not all the time. Just for severe anxiety and issues. The awful truth - the hydrocodene I was prescribed when Harper was born has coem in handy at times when I needed to mello out a bit. I only have like 7 left though. Boo. Oh well. I have also taken a friend's adderroll before to help me relax during social events. Those things work wonders! Good luck with crazy nana!
Point your doc in the direction of your blog!
OMG hahaha I can't stop laughing!! it's so wrong to laugh at the thought of u stuffing her in a $5 bin lol
soo sorry tho.. it's like shopping with 2 kids
if u need any help wrapping let me know!
Start a bring yo Nana to the dr's day that way they can see how crazy she is and give you unlimited refills..
;-)
Yes, I agree with K. Introduce your doc to Nana. You'll have a life-time supply!
You poor, poor girl.
Here is what you do... You go in and tell the doctor:
1. I am married.
2. I have a small child.
3. I have a crazy nanna
4. I am an accountant/work with numbers.
He will give you the script. With refills.
Seriously...
He will
I love crazy nana stories! They make me feel like my life is not so out of the norm. As you may remember, my mother in law sounds very similar to crazy nana. We went out to dinner Saturday and I had to MAKE her give back a stuffed penguin. The waitress gave them to the kids, and accidentally gave four...she wanted to keep them for herself. I explained that she needed to give it back (the waitress said she could have one). Seriously...she is almost 60! Another time while out to a Chinese restaurant, the waiter (Chinese, of course) was waiting for her order and she said out loud that she couldn't read the "damn chink writing" on the menu!!! Yeah, they TOTALLY spit in her food!
OMG.
Seriously. At least try it. :)
I love your crazy nana stories. She really sounds like a piece of work. In all seriousness though, about the valium, I bet if you told your doctor that you were struggling with homicidal feelings they would hook you up with some drugs...but maybe a nice holiday and a white coat too...so be careful!
I shop by myself...so peaceful
Geesh, close to 11 hours of that! You were very brave to do this! I think the stash of Valium would be a good idea, now how to convince the doctor indeed is the tricky part! You got some great advice in your other comments; I laughed at some of them. Hang in there! You are a good person to be doing this!!!
betty
bahahaha if he can let me know! someone needs to hook this sistah up too :)
Oh, I need to remember this! I'm going to take a Xanax the next time my mother decides to come over!
What a day you had! Hooray for the valium. Honestly I think your doctor might say okay. Just tell him that from time to time you are having panic attacks, especially with Crazy Nana. I know the next time I see my doctor I'm going to as for something!
Oh, I definitely have days and people like that. That's why "V" stands for Victory!
