Guest guest Posted January 11, 2001 Report Share Posted January 11, 2001 I did something today I haven't done in a loooong time. I was at a red light and just started crying. I felt so tired. I took Mom to her PT early this a.m. (and I am NOT a morning person at all)......see I had planned to take Spanky to the nursing home today so figured I'd bath him this morning. Well when I took Mom to her Dr appt yesterday afternoon they said they wanted her in PT today,,,,,,so how was I to bathe Spanky and have it all done???? Well I got all his stuff ready and went down to the house to bath him at 8 p.m last night. It takes about 11/2 hours to do him (he has alot of hair and has to be brushed and dried out) so that made for a looong night, it was cold and I was tired but I did it. Then we had to be at PT early........All this running has taken it's toll on me I am afraid. It is amazing that Mom can do more for herself when no one is there and is helpless when I am there or my sister is there........so we make her do more now for herself.......anyway I made arrangements to have her picked up by a van (for disabled and elderly and govt. funded) for her appts. at PT on Mon and Thur for the next 4 weeeks.....I don't think she was real happy but, oh well......If I don't take care of myself a little I can't help anyone else.......... Now don't tell anyone but when I come home from the Home today I am locking my door and not answering the phone, I am going into seclusion,,,,lol.............I know i feel bad and I look even worse, I have had the rugs picked up in the livingroom for 3 days and have not had time to run the sweeper yet,,,,,,,,haha, course I could get off the web for an hour here and do it, but I don't feel like it............Hey, thanks for letting me vent, I needed it major big time today. I know it will get better, but I am in the " now' time and I just needed to vent..... P S well I am home and I called my sister and she is picking up Moms meds and doing them. I have been on line since 4PM and am taking it easy......I think I just got sooooo overwhelmed. I will go to bed early and read or watch tv. Still have to get me some supper and here it is almost 7pm, and I don't care, lol...........awwww.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Hi Jan: I'm glad that you're finally taking it easy for a well deserved break! I decided to take tonight off too. I usually go to a bible study, but tonight, I just felt to sick. We have a front hanging over us and I think that is why I feel yucko. Sometimes ya just have to say no more!
