Janet, I know it is so much easier with your mom at your house. I'm glad she is there. You ask for help though, when you need it. Don't try to do everything yourself!

Janet, glad to hear you are home again, i hope things are going better for your mom and you. I'm sure it is much easier on you both with her being there.
Sorry i haven't called you, just been crazy here with the weather, we'll talk soon.

This sounds like a good thing, Janet. You are both sleeping better, so it must be so much less stressful. It sounds like the perfect solution for right now. You both need to be together because love makes everything better.

So far, and I know it's soon, but things have really been good. I know it won't always be, we'll have our moments I'm sure, but she knows I'm trying my hardest to take care of her and she tells me she loves me all the time. I love her too.

Everyone can tell you love your mom, your the best daughter she can ever have.
I'm so glad she is still doing good. |

I think I hurt her feelings a little bit. We were in the kitchen and Lynne called. I hadn't spoke with Lynne for a few days and I missed her. I sat at the kitchen table and talked for a moment and then went to the living room. Toward the end of Lynne and I's conversation, Mom came in and something about me leaving the room to talk on the phone. I said that was kind of rude and then she said I was rude for leaving the room. She said there was no reason to leave if I was talking to Betty (my SIL). I told her that I wasn't talking to Betty and that there are times when I want to speak with my friends in private.
It was just one of the hurdles we will be facing, but we got through it...had a nice supper and then shared some laughter.

Boundaries Janet. They are important. You will drive yourself crazy if you don't have boundaries. You are not a couple. It is hard but important. Let her know that you love her and will be there for her but that there will be things and times that she won't be a part of. It just has to be that way or you will lose yourself and you will not be happy. It was not rude of you to leave the room and your mom needs to understand that your life does not completely revolve around her. Again it is hard but necessary.
