If I seem to slight anyone, ignore anyone, forget things - please know that I'm concentrating on my family right now.
I need to take care of my children, my Papaw, apparently my mother as well.
Because God knows she "can't do this alone". No, she can't, but in her eyes, I can.
All of this has to hapen around a house move, lawn mowing, bill paying, chidren schooling, etc.
According to all of my family members, I am to forget all about my children going to school and do my duty.
Where are they going to be?
Well, today, Sam is going to Children's to be tested for Systic Fibrosis. That's scary. I understand sister being gone for that. That's pretty darn important.
But so is my children's education. So is my own health. Strep is coming on hard and fast. GAH!!!!!
So please, know I want nothing more than to have my Papaw completely well, back to the old Papaw who can care for himself. I want to talk to you, see you, spend time with you, do things with you, come to the parties, etc.
Yet I'm the responsible one. I'm the strong one. I'm not allowed to break but I have to instead sit and watch the rest of them do so. Its not fair. Its my turn to be weak. No one cares. I mean in my family. I've asked them to allow me my turn, they have all said no because if I took my turn, who would they run to?
Gah.
