I am just plumb exhausted. My mother is back over here at my house. She called Saturday and wanted us to pick her up and tae her over here. I am always trying to look at the good side of life and she is looking at the other side. I am rally a positive person, she is not. It is wearing me out trying to keep myself cheerful and happy. I typically stay away from negativity but I have now been put into a situation where I have to be with someone for whom the sun does not shine. I am now so worn out that my body hurts and I have a constant headache. Ok, that’s enough of my feeling sorry for myself. So, how is everyone’s day going? It is beautiful outside. I thin I will go out there enjoy Mother Nature and work on a new puzzle. Have a great day. Image from : pixabay.com/en/face-yawn-eyes-mouth-emotion-blue-1683155/

I have been using my porch as a puzzle room. That way I can relax, do puzzles, and enjoy mother nature.

I understand where you are coming from. Negative people can really bring others down and sometimes not even realize what they are doing. I woke up feeling like you, not really in the mood to do much of anything but things need doing. Enjoy doing your puzzle. Have a blessed day

She knows what she is doing. She knows she is negative. She will tell you she is. Some people just want to have those around them feel as bad as they do. I figure everyday that I wake up is a blessed day.

What a bummer, I suppose the only thing you can do is try to be cheerful even when she isn't, maybe she'll either get the hint or possibly get angry ..... I'm lucky ma was always happy but she did expect me to like the things she did like fishing which I hate and she hated that I had to take pictures all the time.

Well at least she doesn't expect you to like what she does @HazySue that's a plus.

She has always been the way she is now, attitude wise. My mom doesn't really care weather you like something or not. I guess it is what it is.

@rebelann she doesn't seem to care if anyone else likes anything else. It is what she wants when she wants it. Oh well, they say the older you get the crankier you get. I must be getting older than I think, I sure am cranky at this point.

Some people are like that naturally. She has been that way as long as my brother and I can remember.

It's true that negative people can pull us down with them, and I'm sorry that you are experiencing this. What sort of puzzle are you doing? I've recently discovered jigsaws online, and am really enjoying doing them.

That is what is difficult when you have someone in the house who refuses to be cooperative . How old is she my friend ?

@crazyhorseladycx I just try to ignore her attitude, her I pay attention to. Right now I wander outside to my deck to work on a puzzle from time to time, it seems t help me relax a bit. Thanks for all the hugs. You mom thankfully is still independent and that's great. My mom has always been a dependent person. You are an angel.

Thanks, I can't ignore her. She does need help, she won't go into a nursing home, my brother will not help, and she is my mom, good, negative, or otherwise. Thanks for the hugs, I needed them.

You poor thing. I'm in a situation similar to your. My husband had surgery 8 weeks ago, but it left him dependent on me. At least we both have positive natures. Go enjoy being outdoors. I take the cat outside for a breather several times a day.

A positive nature does help you get through the bad times. It must be hard to be dependent on someone, even someone you love.

Negative people suck the life out of you. It is hard to stay positive when somebody is always bringing you down. Enjoy working on your possible I hope it helps your relax a bit.

I'm tired too. But it's because I have been frustrated with a new computer monitor. But I think I finally figured it out.
