My special place

Love to know more about your life @tyme ❤️

And lots of good changes to the forum @tyme , @Snowie

LOL @Shaz51 , my life is one big go go go. These three nibblings are beautiful but can also be the bane of my existence. They are in the court playing ball with the kids in the neighbourhood. At least it is sunny.

I'll be going out later for a youth church service.

True @tyme , it is sunny and the kids are playing

@tyme , @Snowie , I think I am still trying to adjust to now after a lifetime of go go go

It does sound like your life is super busy @tyme I hope the kids know just how lucky they are to have you in their lives. I hope you enjoy the youth church service.

@Shaz51 I find just sitting and taking it easy really hard to do too. Sometimes it feels like I just have to do things to make it seem ok.

Hi @creative_writer

Came home today so it has been a good day. Hopefully things continue to improve.

Hoping things are going ok for you too hon, sending lots of 💌💌

Morning @Snowie dear. Hope that you had an amazing sleep in your own bed and that today is a good day 💕

Today I wish I was not home. Have spent the last few days driving mum to places she needed to go and ringing up some companies for upcoming treatment she is having. It's like she has bottled everything up, waiting for me to get out so I can do everything that she hasn't been able to do. I know she needs the help and she hasn't got anyone else to do it, but it puts a lot of pressure onto me.

Her Alzheimer's is really getting worse quickly. I know it sounds mean but I wish she was at the stage where she needed 24 hour care, therefore being in a nursing home. With her living with us, there are so many things that now fall onto my shoulders, hence a lot more pressure. I really don't think she can drive for much longer. She went to the shops the other day and it took her almost an hour to remember where she parked her car.

I just need a few hours to myself. Just some time to just adjust to being home again.

Hi @Snowie I've just been catching up on the thread here, glad to hear that coming home went fairly smoothly but I completely hear you about needing time to settle back in, I imagine it can be quite an adjustment

It does sound like there's a lot on your shoulders in regards to your mum's care, and I think having that thought of wishing she was at a stage of receiving more care is really understandable and human. Sounds like you just need a bit of a break to focus on yourself but this role is something that you can't easily take an extended break from.

Are you getting a bit of a break now?
