Today is Mr. Brooks' fortieth.  And mother has on her sassy pants.  It's in her tone of voice.  I can hear it.  I know the sass is coming.  Considering I just had it out with her after last Sunday's "incident", I hope she can keep in her pants (haha I mean keep it in her head) for the weekend and just chill out.  But she scares me anymore.  I don't know what to expect from her.  It's like she's reverting back to the old days.  "I've been good enough for far too long" it's like she's saying with her actions.  But the thing is, I am not the same person I was back in the "old days".  So even if she tries, I will do my best to shut her down.  And if that doesn't work, I will take action (like, calling her doctor and having her taken in for observation).  That's a drastic measure, but if what she did a week ago was any indication of how our future is going to play out with her?  That is a step I will 100% take.  Her brother needed to be sedated because his dementia turned into all out physical rage (he even tried to kill a nurse).  So, if she tries some shit like that with me or anyone else in our house (including animals), she will be put away, no hesitation.  

But yeah, I hope this weekend is nice and she just stays calm.  But again, I can hear the sassiness in her voice.  So, we'll see.  Wish us luck.
