Doing great so far this week, aside from all the stress and worry I have right now. Exercised again last night! yay me! Scale was down 2 1/2 lbs so far this week, hopefully it will stay that way until my weigh-in on Monday!
We sat down with my husbands parents last night for 2 1/2 hours trying to figure out how to deal with the situation with his grandmother. The biggest problem is having around the clock care for her, without spending ALL her money paying for it. My husbands parents do not have room to house her, b/c of downsizing when they retired, we on the other hand, have an extra bedroom. I just can't see having her spend all her money for home care, when we could do it here. This is a HUGE decision to make. And one not taken lightly. it would be like adding another child to our life. She is very dependent for everything. My husbands parents live right next door to us, so they would be here A LOT to help. And without a doubt, would not allow us to do this, if it wasn't the only option left. So, we have decided to try a month trial, to see how everyone does. It will be a huge change for us, her and our kids. And also, there is the chance she absolutely refuses to do it. We just don't know. I am so torn. But I know if I were 90 years old, I would really hope my children or grandchildren would be willing to step in and take care of me. And I would want to be with family my last days. But my husband and I both agreed, no matter how hard it is, we wouldn't feel right if we didn't atleast give it a try. We can do anything for a month, no matter how hard. I guess we just have to play it by ear.
Sorry for the long rambling journal, it is just all i can think about. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Softball season is starting for us, Yay!! My daughter is so excited, almost as excited as me! lol.
