A day in the life...


Overwhelmed...

Jul 14 2008

Some of you may have noticed I haven't been hanging out here lately. My life has become so overwhelming that it all I can do too function on a daily basis. Between my oldest daughters separation from her husband and up coming divorce, too my middle daughter being involved in a law suite with her former employer, to the same daughter and her husband moving, too my sisters legal troubles, to my youngest daughter being deployed, to my husband and my ongoing health issues, oh yeah and the grass needs to be cut!

Now...my dad was just sent to a nursing home after having a huge mental and physical meltdown. He is going down hill fast. I haven't seen him in about a year and a half. We have kept in touch by phone and letters but after the death of my mom a couple years back, it just hasn't been easy to go. Now he is barley recognizing people and flat on his back. Two weeks ago he was at home, and functioning quite well. Going up town everyday, even involved in a re-hab program for his emphazima. 

There is no point to this entry except I guess for me too vent and get it on paper so maybe it will all stop running through my head on a constant loop!

Lesson learned though, stick to the boring life and be careful what you wish for!

I HAVE MISSED YOU

I was wondering where you were. I don't like to go and hunt people up if they haven't posted. Some people need a break, even from here. I am glad you wrote in your diary to let us know how you are doing.
You have a lot to deal with right now. Prayers are with you. Remember we are here if you need someone to talk to....{{HUGS}}
Keep your PMs coming....

I am here for you... smilies/grin.gif

What is great is that so many people can count on you. I tend to be that person in my family too. This is when I do best. I struggle when there is nothing going on. That is usually when I start trouble just to have something to fix. LOL!
We Miss You!
Time for you and only you-

Hi Honey, Boy I sure hope things start to change in your favor soon. I have missed you very much. I wonder if you could let your daughters deal with their own stuff for one day and you just do what you like to do best if that would help. Sometimes no is a complete sentence, period and all. smilies/grin.gif
I sure hope to hear from you soon. Count to 10 in halfs when things get a little ruff. I find that I am usually smiling again by 5. smilies/tongue.gif
