Well, I for one sure can't say I'm sad to see 2007 end!!! It has been one hell of a year & NOT in a good way...
Anyway, it's 11:30pm on the East Coast right now, so I decided I better post one more time this year. Let's see, I've never been really good with New Year's resolutions (keeping them, that is), so I will not be a hypocrite now & make promises I can't or won't keep! I do plan on bringing attention to the situation we have found ourselves in if for no other reason than helping ONE other family from ending up where we are!!! I am still wanting to help others in any way I can, but since our finances are basically non existent, that's not an option. The most precious, valuable thing I have right now is my TIME so I'm trying to come up with ways to make that work for someone else. I know that when my Mom lived with us, I had days & days of NO time for myself, sometimes not even for a shower! I'm thinking about offering my time to other caregivers so that they can have some time of their own! Maybe to go grocery shopping, or get their hair done, or even just take a nap!!! When Mom was here, I couldn't afford to pay for someone to come sit with her so I could take a nap, I had to sleep when she slept (just like you would with a baby!), I had to shower when she was asleep! If I wanted to do something with Brianna, I had to make arrangements for Mom first!
Well, that's all I have right now, this holiday season has been VERY stressful & I'm soooooo glad it's about to be over!!! Here's hoping for a better 2008 for all of us!!! Happy New Year & BE SAFE!!!
