Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hello my Friends, Thanks to everyone who responded to my message. I so felt like I was whining but I realize now that it was okay to whine. I'm looking out for my family first and that's what I should be doing while not beating myself up for current situation. I must tell you of my news though. I was very brave, as one of my dear friends put it, I was Fiercely Brave and I called my SIL and reminded her of her promise. With lots of shock and ill feelings she has agreed to fulfill her promise and come for 10 days to care for HER father. I will have to care for him for the last 4 days of MIL's trip. But I am so okay with that arrangement. I have lost a lot of sleep over this but I must say, it's invigorating to be setting these boundaries. Boundries I should have set awhile back. Live and learn I say. My MIL wasn't too happy with this as now my SIL is unable to come in August. I guess the two of them had some plans for that time, but I have put a kink in their get along, as Dizz would say. I don't understand why she is unable to come, finances are usually no problem with them, and the time has already been set aside? But I don't care, I got her to keep her promise and that's all I care about. Thanks on the info for the UTI kit. I will attempt this while mother is away. And Donna I do plan to have MIL make the arrangements for the POA, and whatever we'd need while she's gone. Just in case! You guys are the best of the best. I knew that if I came to y'all I'd get the info I needed to get through this. My own father is very proud of me. He said that I have acted very intelligently and bravely. Cool! It's hard to get my dad's approval, so WOW! But I couldn't have done without your help my dear dear friends. Thanks. Tori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
