well alot has been going on in my life.

1st off I was diagnosed with Emphysema so my quit date is Oct. 31, if I dont stop smoking I will not live to see my 2 yr old live past the age of 12, so this is a huge test for me I have never tried to quit but I know that I can do it b/c I want to live and I cant let my children live with out a mother.

then my sister came over a few weeks ago and told me some news that bothers me about my neice and nephew that my mom and dad have custody of, I guess my neice Brittany told her mom that her brother Wayne has been touching her and that my mom and dad made Brittany let her brother sleep in her bed with her mind you they are 15 and 14 years old. well I told my sister to report it and she did and I guess Brittany got into trouble by my parents and told her that wat is said/done in the house stays in the house, I tell you my parents are so screwd up in the head I feel so bad for Brittany but I cant do anything for her.

And now my Granny is in the hospital and it not looking good for her her cat scratched her a month ago and we almost lost her and now her Congestive Heart failure is getting the best of her mind you she is 91 and still lives in her own house by herself but she just cant take care of herself anymore and she doesnt want to go into a nursing home, so someone is going to have to stay with her and no one wants to do that I would love to but I cant not with my 4 kids that need me. So I dont know if there is any help for her through the state or not but I am going to look into it and see if I can figure out a way for her to stay in her own home. Her son said that she can live with him and his wife but his wife took care of her mother and got mad at her mother and broke her leg, so that wont work, I am really stressing out about all this, I have enough on my platter right now and I am not sure if I can take anymore w/o breaking down. I am trying to be as strong as I can and still take care of myself all at the same time. wow this is a long post I am sorry if this bores ya'll but I hade to vent and hopefully get some suggestions on my granny if anyone knows of any help please let me know.

hugs to ya'll
