I'm doing better....

I knew it wouldn't stay like that for long...and Sarah (Woowoo dog) seems a little peppier, too--she even chewed a little on a rawhide, which made me smile....I'm thinking she's totally blind, though, because she keeps falling off the side of the wheelchair ramp on the deck :-(

DH had a rough night at work, and I'm feeling kind of bad that I wasn't very tolerant of his drama (it really wasn't as bad as he was making things out to be).  But then he did call me back and tell me that he knew he was being dramatic(!) and that was shocking!

Sunday, after I get off work at 8am, we have a family reunion and I have to bring my mom (and pick her up at noon).  I wasn't planning on telling her about it, because I think it's going to be extremely difficult for her and for me to pull this off, but my brother asked her if she was going, so then I was kind of stuck. Argh. He's not the one who has to do all this on no sleep!  Of course my mom wants to go.  And she is remembering it.  So there's really no getting out of it, and I probably shouldn't even be thinking that way, since I don't know how many more family reunions she'll get to go to....

Just rambling today, I guess....

I'm glad you are feeling better...:)

You tell me I am tolerant but I think you are too. I would want to shake a stick at my brother if he did that to me. Why should you always have to carry the load for stuff he may bring up? If he mentions stuff then he should deal with the fall out. You have a life too that is just as important as his. I am sure he doesn't fully understand or comprehend what your mom is going through or even what stage she is at from day to day. You do because you are right there. Maybe he should talk to you first or the nurses to get a feel of how she is doing and what she may or may not be able to handle first?

I'g glad you have a new full-time job. Your brother isn't particularly helpful, is he? Not only is he a racist but he and your sister are letting you do all the grunt work for/with your mom.
Please don't beat yourself up about the animals dying off. Fifteen is old for a cat and you took good care of the others.

I was thinking of you today - last I heard was that your new job would be starting today - and I wanted to send best wishes your way! You have a lot going on in your life and I hope this works out really, really well for you.
