Can't sleep Sunday morning
We have been talking about putting her into a home, but now it seems it will have to be a place with less independence for her. She has let herself go too much. And these home caregivers are just awful; she fell more or less because they weren't spotting her (didn't have the belt on her). No, I'm right with you on where she needs to be; we (my siblings and I) are all on the same page on this.
Eileen....I keep praying for your mom. I hope nothing is broken. Still if she can't walk, something is wrong. All this and Christmas too. Then you are sick on top of it...STRESS!!!
I tend to agree with Judy on this one....I don't think your mother listens to Gary and that is putting her in danger. I think it really might be time for her to get in a place that there are people watching her all the time. She has lived in her own home for a long time. Way longer then most. It will be hard to let go. I remember when my parents had to let go of our home. It was hard for them, but in the long run it was the best for them. Gary has done the best he can. I wish you and Gary the best on making that decision. I am always here if you want to chat!!
How are you feeling? It sounds like you had a wicked time when you first got up. At least you might be getting over the worst of it. YOU be careful going out too. I changed my mind an am not going anywhere!! I don't want another round of that flu!!
Update us as you can....thank you!
Keeping you in my prayers...love and hugs...connie d
Good Afternoon Vickie and OFF Gang,
I couldn't fall asleep last night, so I was up till after 2:00 a.m. Then, I was up around 8:00, to get ready for church. Came home, made lunch, talked to my sister, and now I'm catching up here. When I get done on the computer, I'll vaccuum, and then work on some crocheting. My sinuses are starting to feel funky, again. I'm trying to head things off, but I may end up seeing a doc.
Latest message from my friend, Ruth, is that she's doing better pain wise, but is deeply discouraged at not being able to be out of the hospital, since her kids, and grandkids went to Florida to spend Christmas with them. Keep praying.
Must scoot.
Love and Prayers,
Trish
Carla, I'm glad you got the bracelet.

Hi Trish.....I am still keeping Ruth in my prayers....and of course you too! I am so glad her pain is getting a bit better. Sorry she can't be with her family like she would like to be. Sometimes GOD has other plans for us.
WOW...were any of us sleeping last night....you are like the fifth person from this group that wasn't sleeping last night. OH NO not sinus issues again!!! I hope it isn't that! Wear a mask when you are vacuuming.
Vickie and I were getting up when the others were going to bed. Oh what a night!! I want a nap but I know better. I want to sleep well tonight....crossing my fingers!!
Don't overdo this afternoon. If you are getting a sinus infection you need rest more then anything.
How is Travis and everyone doing since grandpa passed? Everyone will feel the loss this Christmas. I am saying extra prayers for all of them and you too.
Love to you and HUGS too.....connie d
Well I went shopping AGAIN for tenants Christmas party tomorrow!!! I swear if I get one more call that they are coming I am going to scream bloody murder!!!!!! They had since BEFORE the month of DECEMBER to let me know if they were coming and they wait til the last minute!!!!!!!! WTH?????? If there are not enough gifts tomorrow so be it!!!! I AM DONE!!!!!! I am giving out tickets to those that signed up FIRST!!!!!! Then IF there are gifts left over THEN they can have whats left over!!!!!! And trust me they are not as nice as what I bought earlier!!!! How do you like me now??????????
I got the ham all cut up and in the pan ready to go into the oven and also the cheesy potatoes are ready for the oven also. All that is left for me is to set up the tables and make coffee...put the gifts around the tree and wella!!!!!!! LOL
Got my list all made up for MY family Christmas trip on what I need to take home etc...OMG what a list...lol This that and everything...well we will be living out of a suitcase for a few days ya know...and family is getting sick with colds and flu so not sure IF we will be seeing them or not now. SIGHS...........BIG SIGHS..........Why Christmas do we have to get sick??
So that's my afternoon now...LOL
Thoughts and Prayers for so many right now!!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Judy.....you and all that shopping....you should be home resting up for the party tomorrow!!!! I am glad you are giving the best presents to those that signed up. I would have told the others that they didn't sign up when they were supposed to so no presents were bought. They could just come for the meal. After that happens a time or two they will sign up early!
It sounds like you are very organized. Having the food all ready helps a lot. Be careful putting presents out. If they aren'****ch they will disappear!!!
Everyone is getting sick because everyone else is sick and out shopping for Christmas when they should stay home. There are so many germs and viruses out there...YUCK!!
Love you much....HUGS....connie d

Must be catchy epidemic of poor sleep. Had it for past month, finally waking at 3.30 pm as awake all night and reading, eating bananas and peanut butter to still overactive legs and endless mugs of tea, found glass of wine at 5 am is best knockout have discovered so far. Hope to reverse all this to more normal habits. Chronic pain all over not a help to good sleep at night.
Hope the rest of you are doing better!
cheers, jennifer
Jennifer....so sorry you are among us lousy sleepers!! I can't figure out if it is the weather or what. Chronic pain is at a high, there is so doubt about it. I am sorry you are feeling so miserable. At least you are among good friends!!!!
I sure don't have the Christmas spirit this year. No energy, sick and in too much pain. We seem to all be dealing with the same issues!!
Hey...if wine helps you sleep go for it!!! I would take anything I think would hep!!
Rest as you can.....I know you know the manta.....
Have a peaceful day...love you....hugs....connie d
