Bio
Come on in and make yourself comfy. Kick off your shoes. Coffee? Tea? Sit awhile and read… Express your thoughts. Any questions? Feel free to ask for I am a woman of a certain age and I do not fear my secrets. I welcome them for they have led me here, where I pour them out in written word. I'm also a Recovering Catholic, but I very much believe in a Higher Power. Those shoes you see in my banner, I own those shoes... Stuart Weitzman Fever in patent leather red! We used to get out alot more, me and my shoes. So I decided to add them to my blog because, hey, I'm not dead yet!! "Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone." ~Jim Fiebig

Don't Forget Me!!

Rate: 22 Flag

Hey, just a note to let all of you know I haven't forgotten you, I'm only missing in action.  My father ended up in the hospital after the mushrooming incident and it doesn't seem he is bouncing back to normal, whatever normal is.  Now, he has been diagnosed with skin cancer and is having surgery next week.  My ex mother-in-law went to the emergency room this week and is having a pacemaker put in tomorrow.  I have been fielding calls from my children and other sorted relatives, plus taking care of my father non-stop.  Not my month!  But, I am thankful I am still healthy and so are my children.  We never know what life is going to hand us, so best to be thankful for what we have while the going is good!

I miss you guys!!!

I hate it when life gets in the way of blogging. Take care of you and yours!

It must be so hard to address dementia in a parent. Don't forget to make time for vodka tonics, Wii, and sushi.

That's right: care of the caregiver! You are not forgotten at all, and you will not be forgotten!

I haven't crossed paths with you too much but I hope for the
best for you. Kitchen dancing? What's that, (other than the
obvious.) Take care. Stay Strong.

We don't forget, but we do find other people who are willing to come in and do some of the work. We really should get a schedule going so we can all get the time off we need. Kind of you to let us know and sorry you are having such a stressful month. Sending out love and healing vibes.......

We won't forget you. Please take care of yourself. Your dad sounds wonderful. I don't know what to say. I've been there too. My mother. No words seem to be adequate. So I'll just say thanks for keeping in touch as much as you are able. We'll still be here.

MAWB-I lived in my mother's home, as her live-in companion and "caregiver" for 2 1/2 years and found, "The 36 Hour Day" by Nancy L. Mace, to be invaluable. Positive Karma floating your direction. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Take care of you, too.

Just caught up on a few of your posts. Good luck. Don't ask "What else can go wrong?" because if you do, something else goes wrong.

We miss you, too.
