We have had a glorious week so far with warm temps and sunshine.  I sure wish I could bottle it and share it with those of you who are still looking at winter!


Its been a rough week here with mother.  She has had a sharp decline physically and suddenly mentally and we have had to move her out of assisted living into a skilled unit.  Very tough on her and us!  She has been in so many places that she is confused about where she is and understandably so. This becomes very expensive, so I have that worry as well.


I was able to get away for a girls weekend this last weekend.  It was good!  My dh had to deal with issues both Saturday and Sunday, but at least I had a few hours to think about something else.


Just wanted to check in and say hello!



Hugs,


Sooze

Hi Sooze


Ok second time I have tried to answer this post. My internet went down just as I was getting ready to post to you. Hope this time I can get it done.


I am really sorry to hear about your Mom. This is the hardest time when we are caregivers for our parents. That step to the skilled unit is so very hard. I know your Mom is confused and how painful this is for you. When it came time for us to put my Mom in skilled care all of my siblings felt it had to be done but just hated to do it. This is for her safety as well as what she needs now. She will settle in as best she can and at least you will know that there is someone watching over her when you cannot be there. Sending you lots of love and so many cyber ((((((((HUGS)))))))).


I am glad you got the weekend away with the girls. You deserve the time away when you can get it. Let someone else handle this as much as you can my friend. You are doing all you can for your Mom.


I have lots of sunshine to share as well hopeing those that are still where it is cold will soon see the spring come to life.


I am sending you some sunshine for your soul.


Love
