Well this whole thing for cleaning and such to get ready for my niece to visit has turned into spring cleaning. Taking down curtains, washing curtains, putting them back up. It's amazing how the dirt appears as you go. I'm glad her trip has gotten me motivated to do it.
Bobbie, hope the move is smooth. Miz, I think that was bobbie's suggestion for your hubby. I'm still praying. PirateGal, thanks; we are waiting for you to join us at Cafemom. The boat is ready... See you all there, so we can chat!
SS, thanks so much for the suggestion. He is going to try it. The good thing is we have today and all day tomorrow and Thursday to get ready. Except that the carpet cleaners are coming Thursday morning. If all the stuff that's in the living room isn't moved by then I guess I'll just have to put it out back on the patio until he feels better.
Today is moving day, isn't it? Sure hope all goes well. Think peaceful thoughts, and know we're praying for you both. I hope it's a smooth transition for your mama. Take care, Bobbie! :) Let us know how it goes, OK?
trying to get mom up for the big day and she's staying in bed. she'll get hungry in a little while and and get up then I'll pop her into the shower. Of course the schedule will be screwed but it's really not that important for us to be exactly on time. Rather just go at our speed so no one is rattled.
Miz. I'm so sorry your husband's back is out again. Awful. Is it low back? If so does he know the decompression trick?
Lay on the floor with your head, back and butt on the floor butt up against the ottoman, your legs up at 90 degrees on the side of the ottoman, knees bent calves/feet on the ottoman . It decompresses the lower back and brings relief because there is no strain of standing/sitting or lying down flat.
Feel good even if you don't have low back pain.
Just a shot inthe dark and I hope he feels better soon and I hope you don't work too hard getting ready for your nieces and taking care of everybody!
Good morning to you! Sounds like bad timing to have two patients with company coming. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon. Hope your day is relaxing, anyway. The sun is shining here. :) Will keep you in prayer!
Good Morning, Everyone. It's 10:24 am and I've been working to get the house clean and straightened for my nieces visit. Hubby's back is bad again. :( Two patients again for me.
The Chatter Box is on your profile page when you join, sign in, etc. The chat room is different. Go to our group, "Poco Loco," which is private, by invitation only, and "join." Then, if there is a chat going on...with ladies present, you press the "chat," or "join chat" button...something like that. I'll go see. If you need more directions, let me know.
Welcome Lucy! I hope you find much comfort here. I believe in God, but don't know the whys of things. We still experience heartaches when life is life. The emotional things are similar for many of us. Things to cope with, but not always with understanding. Still, we do the best we can. So nice to have you join this thread. Some sweethearts here, aren't you, ladies? These ladies are excellent caregivers, and in ways, are my heroes. Caregiving is not for sissies. Lucy, let us know if there's anything we can do to help you out. :)
KB, I am here...finally. I got home from work, talked to hubby and then fixed Mom supper and was in her room with her and I just had a smoke and put her to bed and had a smoke with hubby.

Good to see you, Pirate! how are things?
SS, seems i havent talked to you in ages! =P lol
Love that lamby-pie pic especially since Easter is around the corner...at first I thought it was someones white chihuahua.
the place is literally 8 minutes from here so I will be making a few trips to get everytiing in order and then I would like to just lay down.
I am sooo tired and now you know why I dread going back to nj and handling all of that crapola.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers; they are needed and appreciated.
I'll holler at everyone later on this evening and I thank you all and love you all for your amazing support.
this will be the first time in 5.5 years that I don't tuck my mom into bed tonight. ow. Hope you guys are around later.
