"Would You Like Fries With Your $*&@#^ Sandwich Generation?"

Running a multi-generational house with kids, parents, and parents' parents.
Ahhh, what an opportunity to share wisdom across the generations.
YEAH RIGHT.
I spend my days hunting for missing dentures, passing out meds, running people
to doctors appointments, and talking the youngest out of smothering the oldest with a pillow.
This better turn into a best-selling novel.

"I May Be Dumb, But I'm Not Stupid"

We found about two dozen sleeping pills stashed in Betty's nightstand. We give her two at bedtime, but she's almost never ready to go to sleep when we do this, and apparently, she has been putting them in her drawer and forgetting about them. So she has collected enough pills to kill herself twice over, but doesn't see any danger in my leaving them there. I suggested that she might take two and then forget she had done it and take more, etc. See above for her response.

I think we'll skip the sleeping pills for now.
