So tired

[loracs]

Worried about "mom" (aka serenejournals mom) and about serene. Living in the hospital while someone you love is going through all kinds of pain is exhausting, draining you of every thing you need to be the support for the sick person. In this last year, I've been both support and patient. Let me tell you, even with the pain and fear of surgery, it was easier being the patient. Of course, this is bringing up all MY Mom stuff. This will be the 8th holiday without my mom. The sadness and tears come unbidden, it has never gone away - it shifts to a lesser prioity, but it's always waiting just off stage to overwhelm me.

Almost forgot - I got in my very first moving accident today. Thirty-four years of driving and now, today of all days, I have my first. Everyone is okay. The van is okay. The other car has some damage. I'm not sure whose fault it was.

Now I'm really going to bed.

Hope you get some sleep. Serenes MOM has been on my mind as well.She is such a sweet person. I agree it is so hard to see someone you love in pain.Been too much of that this year in our family.I am worried for them both. SO sorry to hear about your accident. I hope all gets cleared up on that soon. Glad no one got hurt. I will see you at the open house. If there is anything I can do to help just let me know.

Poor baby. Poor all of you.

Thanks Deb. You've bailed me out of more things than I can name - well, I can name them, but the list is so long I don't have the time right now!

I think I'm under control - I always think that just before I remember 10 things I forgot to do. 8-) If you've coming, then I'll certainly use the help in keeping food replenished. That's one thing I'm bad at - being the "xmas guide" and paying attention to the table.
