Another WHAT???

I know some of you, or maybe all of you, are getting tired of reading the daily happenings of the Roule household, but this is my journal and you get to read it...or not!

Laurie visited yesterday and during the conversation (?) mother started talking about apartments and my first one that I shared with Betty. So she says "the only thing I didn't like about your (looking at me) apartment was the picture of that naked lady on your living room wall." WHAT???

Here's the thing...I have never had a picture of a naked lady on my wall! Never!!! Why would I? So after arguing with her, I jokingly said "you must be remembering Laurie's apartment, ha ha." Laurie and I laughed, but mom said "no, I remember it on your (looking at me) wall."

So then I threw Phillip into the mix. "Maybe you are remembering Phil's college apt?" She had a look on her face that was meant to say "I'm right, you are wrong, but I am not going to argue with you." Sorry Phil.

Wow, Phil, maybe it is me who is delusional...what alternate universe have I been living in? Does anyone else remember a picture of a naked lady on any wall of any apartment I have ever lived in?

Having never taken drugs, I can't fall back on "those were my lost years, ha ha." I seem to remember too much about those days, as it is.

So...today while sitting in the living room, she started talking about a movie she had liked from long ago and before she was finished she had combined three different movies into one....

And she told me how she had been mad at me back when I had been pregnant with Deanna and we had gone to Pontchartrain Beach and I rode on the ride that goes around in a circle and the bottom drops out. Some centrifugal force ride.

Now, I was not in N.O. when I was having Deanna. I remember going to a fair with the family in Alexandria and maybe Mom was doing her best to keep me off the rides, but the one ride I would not have ridden besides the Ferris wheel would have been a ride that just circles. Talk about throw up! Never rode one of those! (Is that my memory from my alternate universe?)

There have been days that she had shared her dreams and her memories and I am lost...she is talking about things that I just can't begin to believe ever happened. Maybe there was a desire for these things to take place and her mind is giving her better memories than reality...I try not to respond in a negative sense, but it is hard not to question her words.

So another day passes.
