Grounded? At my age?

I have been "grounded". This is an all time first for me.... but it is actually a very good feeling!

Normally getting grounded is a punishment but this time it is a good thing. I am so glad to be home again and I'm looking forward to feeling better soon so that I can spend more time with my family.

My activities are being CLOSELY monitored by John. He seems to see my stress before I even realize I have it.

At times, I feel like I've deserted my mother but I know she will be well taken care of and if I don't take better care of myself, I'll be the one who needs full time supervision. Well, I have the supervision but it's okay. There will be times that it will drive me crazy - like when he tells me I can't do something I really would like to do - but most of the time I'll just let him tell me when I've taken on too much or when I need to rest. I've always pushed myself to do more than I really could manage and gotten away with it but now...... I can't!

After being the one in charge at Mama's for so long, it's sort of nice to have someone take care of me for a little while.

I haven't been able to talk to Beverly but I found out that the reason she didn't call was that her husband was in a terrible motorcycle accident and lost a leg. I don't expect to hear from her for a while. We will manage until she is available or until she says she can't do it at all.

MS's friend Sarah is coming to stay with Mama MWF/week from 10am - 5pm. This is every week and since Mama knows and likes her it makes it more 'doable'.

I'm glad to be home. I'm soooooo glad to be home!
