There is Nothing like being in your 50s and rooming with your brother and mom! I think we are doing really well staying adults and not reverting to our childhood years! Let me tell you just how well we are doing with that!!!
My mom and we having a discussion about how a box of her oxygen tubes were accidentally thrown away. Kent came hurrying down the hall to proclaim, "It wasn't me!" LOL We didn't think it was him... Only because it happened before he arrived! Mom HATES the way I do the grocery shopping and put my brother in charge of ordering the groceries! I was good with that until the first order came! Being in lockdown has my anxiety heightened (that is my excuse for what happened! HAHA!) I started to hyperventilate just for a moment! LOL I breathed through it and got myself under control and did some self talking that he just wasn't use to buying for more than one person. I gave input on the next order. I then had to try and use my inside voice (I don't think I have an inside voice... I am just loud!) and tell him, "what the heck is up with the groceries! We don't have enough! You need to buy by the case and then you always have a good supply!" Kent replied, "Allison, your hoarder tendencies from living 85 miles from the nearest grocery store are coming out." (He actually did use his inside voice! HAHAHAHA!) We have compromised! So the other day as we were chatting in the kitchen and really laughing about the way we did things and grew up. We have come to learn that every family is dysfunctional just in different ways and to different degrees, however; we are okay with how we grew up. We found some humor in our upbringing and compared ourselves to other families... We like how we grew up better! LOL And then we discussed how I was as a teenager... My memories definitely differed from his! I wasn't quite the sweet angel child that I thought I was! LOL (I know all of you find that hard to believe that actually I was a handful as a teenager!)

I am Ally. I am the center of my universe and I can determine whether to be a victim, survivor or thriver. At one time or another I have been all of the above... I am choosing to thrive!
