Hello all my friends!
Some of you may have remembered
this pine cabinet I purchased last year.
Bob had to go back and pick it up for me.
It was a nice old one.
Eventually would like it to be in
our guest bedroom.
Right now though it was moved here.
Can you guess where?
Well if you said our kitchen you would be correct.
I filled it with kitchen related items for now.
Topped with crock jugs and a bunny mold.
It will serve its purpose here for
the time being.
In other news,
Please say a wee prayer for my mom if you can.
She undergoes shoulder replacement
surgery tomorrow.
I will be quite frank.
Taking care of mom this past week
was a struggle for me.
I am 7 years older than the last time
I took care of her when
she broke her femur.
My bad knee is finally catching up with me
from a track injury I had in school.
I have arthritis in both my ankles.
Physically and mentally this was
very hard on me this time.
I told my sister several times
that I do not think I can take care
of her when she gets out of therapy again.
I know Bob will not be able to
the days I have to go into the office.
With his short term memory,
he may forget she is there.
(not kidding)
My words went on deaf ear though.
My sister is 5 years younger.
My brother is 8 years younger.
It should be their turn.
I love my mom...but I also need to
think about my health as well.
Well anyways,
everything is in God's hands now.
Hope everyone enjoys their week.
Moving On Blessings To All!

Janice,
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you and your mom!
The cabinet is so nice! I love your decor.
I understand your dilemma, and I pray your siblings will step in. We are all human and have strengths and frailties. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteLike your cabinet. I have one like it. Not old though, my husband made it.
ReplyDeleteWill be praying for you and your mom. A lot of times it ends up being one child taking care of parents. Hope your brother and sister will help!!!!
I really like that cabinet and it looks nice with the kitchen items in it.
ReplyDeleteWill pray for your mom and also for you. I'm sorry you're dealing with the brunt of it. You need to stick to you guns when she gets out of rehab this time. It's so hard because you care, but you do need to take care of yourself!
Beautiful cupboard. A weakness of mine. I just need a bigger house...lol!
ReplyDeletePrayers for mom's surgery.
Caregiving seems to always fall on one person. God bless you for all you have done. I know was most difficult and still working full time made it extra hard. Hopefully your siblings will step up to the plate to help!!!
Am hoping your family will step up and take care of her. If not perhaps they should contribute monetarily so you can hire someone to come in and care for her when you are working. But them stepping up to do the right thing would be...the right thing.
