*** I need help no doubt about it. I thought I could do it but the care has gone beyond what I can do or handle. I feel so bad, and besides her demands are driving me crazy. My mom is a demanding person and she rides you till you want to pull your hair out..
*** I feel myself getting so frustrated I snap at her and I don't like that. I keep asking God for patience and endurance
*** So before it gets worse I'm going to call on Monday to find out about the help .. so I can relax a little and she can get the help needed...
*** I'm going home today to take a break and hopefully Vee and my silly brother can take care of her and I can spend the night at home and do a few things while I can rest a little bit..
*** Aren't these the sweetess photos my garden is not doing so good.. besides the fact that I haven't been there to much.. It got a lot of bugs in many things and killed them off..all my zucchini's my tomatillo plant even my tomato plants I don't know what's going on. I think our weather is part of it barely any sun cold days etc...
*** It would be grand if I had a porch like this.. It reminds me of the two chairs I passed up.. they were two wicker chair is perfect condition at this second hand store and I knew I should have bought them but my older daughter was like what are you going to do with them.. they were around 15 dollars a great price.. I could see them in my Garden now.. boy should have never listen to her.. lol it bothered me forever.. You know when you were getting a great deal and you passed it up.. It eats at you ...
*** Well my dear blogger friends Hope you have a wonderful lovely weekend doing whatever it is that you like to do..
***~*** with much love Janice ***~***
Good luck with finding help, you do sound like you badly need a break! Lovely photos. x
ReplyDeleteHello Dear Janice....Your blog is so beautiful! Just added your button to my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your visit today and your comment, too.
Janice, I'm going to take the chance to tell you something, hoping I'm not overstepping my boundaries. But because you are a dear blog friend, I just want to say that you DO need a break.
You need to get it in whatever way you can. It's so true that IF WE ARE NOT GOOD FOR OURSELVES, WE WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR ANYONE ELSE.
I know you are doing the best you possibly can to help your Mama. But no person can do caregiving alone.
I know exactly where you are because I took care of my Mom, too, before she died. I had to get help from several agencies.
You will NEVER regret what you are doing, but Janice, if you do not get help, you will start to feel resentful, etc. and that will be no good for anyone.
Take good care, Janice. And you know that in my heart, I wish you and your Mom the very best. Susan
Hi Janice! The photos are so lovely to look at and your music is a delight to listen to :) I agree with Susan, you need a break, sweet lady. I will be praying for you and your precious mom. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos! I'm sorry to read of your situation, it sounds very overwhelming. I hope that you can find some time for yourself and that there are better days ahead for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get the help you need...I will say a prayer for you and for your mom....I hope you get to enjoy that tea :) Blessings
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone, It means a whole lot.. and Susan, thank you so much and no you didn't overstep.. not at all.. I needed to hear these things..ty hugs to you all
ReplyDeleteDo so hope you can find some help. It is very hard to take care of a loved one. Prayers for both you and your mom. Janice, you left a comment on my blog about the pink and white baby bibs I am making..........could you please contact me at my email

Dear Janice,
ReplyDeleteI really feel for what you're going through and I have to give you so much credit for taking care of your dear mother with little help from anyone. I can really relate to this post. My mom passed away five years ago, and me and my brothers and sister all took turns going over there and taking care of her. My brother was there most of the time, as he didn't have a family of his own. This is a hard stage to go through in life, and it can be overwhelming at times, but the care that you are giving her will always be appreciated and the love you give her is even more special. I am honored to know someone who is sacrificing so much of their own life to make sure that the needs of their loved one is taken care of.
Your bloggy friend,
~Sheri
Oh, I can't leave without saying what beautiful images these are today, especially the last one.
