what a tangled web we weave

My home aide was here yesterday and I am still feeling like getting another. Yet I hate to for 2 reasons. I like her company as a friend and finally she knows where everything is and how I want it done when she actually does do it. have to start all over with a different one. It started out that I didn't report her several weeks ago (she comes once a week, 2 hours) when she avoided getting anything done by going after lunch for us ,then leaving early and promising to do extra next time if I didn't report her to the office cause she said she needed to keep the job but had to pick up her kids early at school. She did okay the next week so I thought fine. Last week she said she was going to come late cause she had to take her baby to the doctor for a cough he had and she was coughing the whole time she was talking to me on the phone !! Of course I told her not to come and call her office to see if someone could be sent in her place. She said she would .I also told her she should not be working with a cough or cold or whatever she had with people with low immune systems. when I called her back later she said she needed the work so had not told them and please don't report her because she would make it up and come Saturday for me . I told her never mind cause I had bribed someone else in to doing cleaning for me. but don't let it happen again. Yesterday she came at her usual time. I told her we needed to just concentrate on doing the things needed in my room non of the kitchen stuff as my daughter was trying to sleep in the room off from that because of her work schedule. Then she told me from time to time she would be going to check on her 4 month old baby in the car !! What?? I said get that baby in here and hopefully he doesn't cry a lot. Well the baby did not cry, was quite cute but he laughed and yelled quite loudly uuggh Daughter was up by then of course and gave her a piece of her mind about bringing a baby in the first place to work. Jenny, the aide , then went to put the baby back in the car. Which made my daughter even madder. so said leave the baby in here!! Jenny finally finished the work while I am feeling like a louse for not wanting a baby here or in a car. She again begged me not to turn her in. So here I am still feeling bad about the whole thing. To top it off, I am taking an antibiotic that's kicking my azz. but feel I better take it after it nearly wiped out my account at 68 bucks even after the good rx coupon my daughter found to keep me from paying 388 dollars for it. which I didn't have. That's all I can write right now. more later.
