Our great-grandbaby just turned 6 months old. Doesn't seem possible. He is such a good baby.
We have started the process of looking for a smaller house. My husband hates change and resists it like a cat resists a bath so it has been hard to get him to commit to it but we have four houses to go look at. At least it is a start. It is exciting and scary at the same time. We will have to make decisions to get rid of so much stuff to fit into a smaller house.
My mother has decided that she is ready to go home at the end of the month or at least by mid-March when her PT is up. Although my husband and I don't feel that she is ready to cope with a whole house and a dog by herself she seems to think she is ready. I feel crummy about it but we have started letting her prepare most of her meals, care for her dog and take him out, and do her laundry. We worked into it a bit at a time as per the occupational therapist and it is very tiring for her but I would rather know if she can do what she needs to when she goes home. It just makes me feel horrible to be cooking and not cooking for her or doing the laundry and not doing hers along with them but I get it. I simply can not believe in September we were told to look into a hospice facility for her.
All you ladies and that I can visit with you at 4:00 a.m. when I have a few minutes.
