Painful, but a lot of hope…
Sometimes in our lives, we all deal with painful situations. Sometimes, we try to divert the pain into other channels. Me, I always try to think positive. Sometimes, I try to mask pain. Sometimes, I talk about anything and everything EXCEPT what pains me. Well…this is not going to be a post about what pains [...]
Friday in my life….
Today is Friday, and while all of the working world is going WOOHOO, they have a 3 day weekend. Well, I do not. But it’s ok. I arrived this morning at the Farmer’s house, and he was having some computer problems. I checked in on Momma and she was softly snoring, so I knew she [...]
Meltdown is over…..
I have decided in the wake of my last meltdown, I am taking myself and my situation far to seriously. Although, I tend to have meltdowns, they don’t happen very often, well…ok, not as much as they used to. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own day-to-day living that we tend to forget [...]
Snark Attack…
I don’t do it very often, and I probably should not do it now, but I am seriously “snarky”, and I’m not even sure that is the right word. I’m mad, nothing in particular but everything in general. I’m mad that Parkinson’s has robbed my Momma, of dignity, the ability to do things for herself. [...]
Baby Boomers, Sandwich Generation and Me….
I learned a new term yesterday and I’ve been mulling it around in my head, and I guess, it makes some sort of sense. My generation of folks, are often referred to as the “Baby Boomers“. According to Wikipedia this is the definition given: A baby boomer is a person who was born during [...]
It’s been a Sleepy Monday….
While I am extremely tired for some unknown reason today, I am kinda happy. This morning dawned, and we had some rain last night and it was a little crisp. The shorts I had laid out got replaced by a pair of jeans. I drank my coffee, and got ready to roll. On the drive [...]
Caregiving….what it means to me.
Quite a few people have asked me, “Why do you take care of your Mother, instead of putting her into a Nursing Home? Then, there was the other question, “Why did you take your Momma OUT of the Nursing home?” Then the other question “You must be a Saint or a hero or something to do [...]
A week of changes..
This week has been all about changes. My schedule has drastically changed and now I have to find another routine to get into. Wednesday was the last day to “officially” babysit the Grandbaby. So, now I don’t get to see him on a day-to-day basis. That kinda sucks. But, we have made arrangements that I will [...]
Yup, I kidnapped the kid….
Ok, I need to clarify. Today was my “last” official day to watch Cam-Man. I woke up before the alarm went off, slugged back some coffee, and went and picked up Cam-Man. When I got to the Nursing Student‘s house, I had already formulated a plan. I went inside and Cam-Man squealed when he saw me [...]
I’ve gotta a new name!
A lot of things have been going on lately around my homestead. There’s been some changes, and some switch up’s. Last week, Joyce (one of the other Caregiver’s for Momma), asked me for a favor, if I would switch up, with her. You see, I usually get Momma up in the morning, and give her the [...]
