    30 days???

    I have a lady that cleans on Wednesdays! She changes the beds, etc...does the BIG cleaning job for me each week. That helps A LOT! I had them prescribe an anti-depressant last week for Mama, she is SO depressed and I imagine so...she knows she is dying. I have talked to my step-dad about getting some help for Mama. It takes a toll on the entire family to have someone is ill. My step-dad is supposed to be coming to visit next month. When he comes i am going awya for the weekend with my fella. We rarely get to do anything away from the house because I can't leave for extended periods of time. He is so kind about it though...of course, he'd better be. I mean I have to take care of my Mama. I am tired and cranky. I think if I just get some sleep I would feel better. Hopefully, the new meds kick in soon and help Mama. They are going to give her a sleeping pill too, but they have to introduce her to one new med at a time...so, that script comes this week. I feel awful for even complaining.

        LUV, good! I gotta find a deep cleaner too, mine of 13yrs. just left, like cutting off an arm....lol....I know I should know this, but is your stepdad your Mom's ex or something?.....sorry! I know you will be greatly rewarded for taking such awesome care of your Mom, but you shouldn't have to shoulder it all by yourself, with young kids, if there's others in the family that can do ANYTHING to help....lordy mercy!.... What about hospice? I know around here, they are angels for folks......you need all the help you can get, hospice ought to be able to come during the day girlfriend....We love you, and I say a prayer for you each day...if I were closer, I could do more, but I'm not....wahhhhhh!!!!

            My Mama moved here after Billy died to stay with me and the kids because she was thinking about divorcing her husband, they have since reconciled. He travels everywhere with his work...never home, so since she became ill, it was only logical that she stay here with me. I wouldn't want it any other way...it is just hard somedays. I hate she is dying, I hate to see her cry, I hate she is in pain, but I am still human. I get tired! If it weren't for being able to come here, I would be a nut case. The mintue Mama got diagnosed it was like I should just be over all my problems because we have a new one. I am doing my best to live up to expectations, but days like today are just plain hard. I am just very tired...need a little break. I am NOT breaking though!!! Thanks for listening to me!!!! I luvuall!!!!!!

                LUV, this is so sad for you and your Mama, I just can't imagine...and its so awesome ya'll have been there for each other, my situation with my Mom is totally opposite, she loves me I know, but is way to self-centered to be bothered much...she didn't even volunteer to go with us, and help, and be there for me, when I went to have cancer surgery...she called and cried...totally narassitic (sp)!....lol..... I will say this for your own benefit, if your Mama, has a husband, that is going to loose his wife, his job will give him time off, and he needs to pitch in...even if he comes in for a weekend, and stays there, and lets you have hubby take you to the nearest nice restaurant, and hotel for the night for you to get a break and some sleep...Brit and Zak can "hang" for one night....you need to take care of you...like I said, anyone that can do anything for any length of time, needs to give you some much needed relief! I don't blame you one bit for feeling spread too thin, you ARE...lol....call in some back-up girlfriend!!! Love you to bits...feel for you tons!

                        I do have a friend!!! We have been dating for a little bit now. I am sure he'd be thrilled to go to dinner as we never go out. Typically grill here at my house,etc.... we actaully just discussed today that it would be nice to get OUT. My step dad is coming next month...I will have a heart to heart when he gets here. BUT, when he first gets here I am going to Charleston for 2 days for fresh seafood and a BREAK. Thanks for letting me vent!!!

                        My little man is a sickly sight tonight. UH...poor little guy. First week back in school and he's caught cooties from someone.
