WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO
SO A FEW MINUTES AGO I GOT A CALL FROM MY AUNT. APPARENTLY MY STEP-GREAT GRANDMOTHER HAD A STROKE THIS MORNING. THE BAD PART IS THAT HER FAMILY CAME AND TOOK HER TO LIVE WITH THEM. WELL MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL LESS THAN A WEEK AGO AND IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE AT HOME ALONE. HE REFUSES TO GO INTO A NURSING HOME OR ASSISSTED LIVING SO THE FAMILY IS TRYING TO MAKE PLANS TO CARE FOR HIM. WELL SINCE I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO "DOES NOTHING ALL DAY" SINCE I DON'T HAVE A JOB THEY ARE HOPING THAT I CAN HELP SIT WITH HIM. I WOULD LOVE TO HELP IN ANYWAY THAT I COULD BUT MY DILEMMA IS THAT 1) I AM PREGNANT 2) WE ARE HAVING A FEW ISSUES WITH THIS PREGNANCY ANYWAY AND SO IT IS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO STAY AWAKE AT TIMES 3) I HAVE TWO VERY SMALL KIDS 4) HIS HOUSE IS DIRTY 5) HE WON'T PAY TO RUN THE AIR AND 6) I CAN'T AFFORD THE GAS. MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER IS AN AWESOME MAN AND I WOULD LOVE TO HELP HIM BUT I HONESTLY THINK THAT WOULD BE WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME TO TAKE ON. UGH I HATE THESE HARD CHOICES.

ReplyDeleteI can imagine it is a hard choice,I think your family will understand that you need to take care of your family right now! You know if you need extra sleep Phillip can drop off the boys when he goes to school and I can watch them!
You do what is best for your family. Right now your calling is to be a wife to that great hubby of yours and a mommy to those three beautiful children. It's not selfish to need to take care of yourself. I will pray that your family understands.
