So I have been lurking for awhile, because I have resolved not to BLOG about negative stuff anymore, and really not a lot of anything worth talking about has happened to me lately. I mean, life has been pretty quiet for me as of late. Go to work, come home, take care of Michelle, go to bed, rinse, repeat. For those who don't know, Michelle had a really bad back injury back in February. It was caused from the autoaccedent we had back in August. three completely dislocated discs completely sidelined her from work. Insurance is paying all the doctor bills, but they aren't helping us pay the rent. I am not complaining. Michelle is getting better and better everyday, but during this time a remarkable thing became clear to me....I am literally all she has.
Her friends, for the most part, are selfish flakes who care only for themselves and how she can make them happy. Her brothers, while nice guys (Well, two of them are anyway:) are still trying to deal with the death of there parents, so they are a touch unreliable at the moment. Her parents, of course, passed away two years ago and she has no other family to turn too.
I am it.
I am not sure many people can fully understand what that means. I never did. I had said it many times to different people, but I never understood it till now. She relies on me for everything. She dosn't do it by choice, but she has no choice. She has too. It is an amazing and scarey responsability, and it takes up most of my time. I know I havn't seen some of you in awhile. I am not ducking you or avoiding you and I miss you all wildly....I just have someone who needs me right now, and if any of you know me at all, you know that is really what makes me happy.
So to those of you that I havn't seen, give me a call or drop me an email. I might not be able to get away, but I would love to talk to you.
P.S. I will try and NOT go another year without blogging, even if the subject matter is alittle dry.
