Sorry you have to go through all of this! Everything will all work out; I know it doesn't seem like it right now but it will! You have a very big heart to consider having her live with you. That is a big responsibility to take on. Surely there will be someplace that you can find for her, like an assisted living place or something. Keep your chin up! I am sending good thoughts your way!

Cindy, thank you! We are looking into assisted living places that have handicapped and disabled amenities. Of course waiting lists are involved. Until then she will have to live with us and my sil C.

Thank you SMS! Much appreciated. It is Incredibly frustrating.

Wow. What a rubbish lot of in-laws you have (IMO). The kick is that those who have treated this sister so bad will one day need someone to help them, and if the way they have treated B is any example..they will be want for alot of support. In the mean-time, I would look for an elderly/disabled support network in your area. In Arkansas, we had the Area Agency on Aging that provided lots of resources. Perhaps you have something like that where you are.

Much luck to you and your family. You are taking on a tough assignment, but hopefully things will go as good as can be expected.

Thank you Pixie! Much appreciated. We do have "Offices on Aging" here and Hubby's made a few calls and has rec'd at least 1 call back who gave him more leads so to speak. And yes, 1 day my in-laws will be at this point in their lives and with the example they are giving my nieces & nephews, they will get their comeuppances one way or another in the coming years. (I fully believe in 'what goes around comes around' karma for the selfish and inconsiderate).

I'm so sorry you've had to go through all of this. Why do spouse's have to come with families?!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return. (Slideshow below - if it plays too fast, hover your cursor on it until the <- -> appear & click on them to view what you've missed).

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
