Stressed and Blessed

Good Evening.
I have been out of my usual and comfortable groove for about the last month and I don't really care for the stress and worry of late but,this to shall pass :-)

We have had no time to work on the house but, I did manage to organize the closet.
:-)
The weather has been so perfect. I have managed to climb up on my horse and go for a ride in the evenings. (best way for me to unwind)

We have had the windows open and it has been great. The indoor kids are loving the view from the back door.

The Lord has truly blessed us and I am ever so grateful

A New blog

I am thinking about starting a second blog about Nursing Homes. A sort of geneeral advise blog about Medicare, Long Term care Insurance., do's and don'ts when chosing and placing a loved one in a facility. Heck, I have been in this industry since I was 15 yrs old. Yes I am now about to be 43. I think it could be helpful

Still here!

Good evening. I am still here. :-)
It's been a long couple of weeks. We got CritterMom moved in and getting some therapy at the facility I work in so,I am able to check on her throughout the day. Critter says he feels better now that she is there.
We are getting back on track and trying to get back to working on the barn.

Have a blessed evening everyone.

Opening my eyes to who I am

I have realized in the past week that seeing my Critter in distress is one of the most painful things I have ever had to witness.
I have learned the power of forgiveness. I have had a strained relationship with my Mother-in-Law but, now I know that it does not matter.
She has suffered a massive stoke and will most likely need constant care for the rest of her life and I will do whatever I can do to give her the best quality of life.
She is Critter's Mom and my love for him has taught me I need to let go of my indifference's and let my actions speak for me.
I will help Critter and his sister place her in the facility I work in hopefully, this week and from the day she arrives, I will do whatever I can.
I will be there daily to check on her and attend to her needs and maybe, I can help relive some of the stress on Critter and his sister.
I will do her laundry,buy her clothes and bedding etc.. (One cannot sleep on sheets less than 500 thread count. I have taught Critter this important lesson in life) I will do whatever. Not, because I am trying to gain favor or to be noticed but, because She is Critter's Mom and because she is in a difficult situation and unable to help herself.
I have learned that I am still growing and learning at the age 42.

My sister Lisa would have been 50 this past Friday, Maybe, it is her guidance and the Love of Our Lord that is guiding me.

Critter's Mom

A week later she is still in ICU and we are taking things day by day. Praying the Lord's wisdom will guide us.
Blessings to you and yours,
Scrappy

Life is to real!

Critter's mom has had a massive stroke. seeing him so upset and scared is unreal. HE IS A ROCK and always in control. I am in auto pilot. Praying that she will be OK>
