Has it really been 5 months since I updated the blog? I have some good excuses, but what it boils down to is that somedays I feel like the same thing happens over and over and there is no reason to keep saying it out loud or in the blog. There have been alot of out of the ordinary as well. Quick update: Mom had hip replacement ( yes, that means she and Dad both were down for a few weeks), but she has recovered and is the energizer bunny again. Bo started and completed his first semester at Appalachian State - he loves it. LeaLea started high school and is playing Junior Varsity Basketball - she is the team high scorer (and I must say, THE BEST). Big T is still taking care of his Mom and Dad (not working). Abbie started Kindergarten - and is thriving. We sold our house - whew. My 6 month mammogram came back clear. hm....I think that about covers all the big news.
Dad is still holding his own. Good days, bad days. Mom was able to get a grant through the Alzheimer's Association and has someone coming in 1 day a week for 4 hours. This gives her a chance to get out. Although I have to say, I think she has used it to Christmas shop, grocery shop and doctor's visits. we need to get her out enjoying herself.
Some days are an uphill battle. It's funny how the big things are easier to handle and something small happens and I fall apart. I've said it before, some days I get it right, some days I don't. Most days I just try to make it through the day without crying or fighting back the tears.Be kind and make good decisions.
