                    OK she came, and I talked to her.  She's not coming tomorrow because of the holiday, so she made sure that I was adequately stocked up.  She's a great person really and truly.  But I wish that there was a class on hiring/firing PCAs.

                Darlin' you need to kick your aide's butt into gear!!  She has a job to do and if she doesn't do her job as she is supposed to, then you have the right to get angry!  ARG!  Oooh, did that sound like a pirate? 

  Why aren't there any sidewalks near your home??  That's sounds awful for you!  If I were you, I would feel like I was in a prison!  Poor dear, I do hope your aide did come!!!

                    Sarah,
  If this has happend more than a couple of times, you seriously need to sit her down and lay down some ground rules in order for her to keep working for you.  You're right when you say you need to be careful not to get angry, but it's important that you be firm with her.
  If she chooses not to follow your rules or decides not to work for you anymore, it's her problem not yours.  You have every right to expect certain things from those who assist you with your daily needs.
  I'm here if you feel the need to bitch.
