Can't be that long!!

Wow! Has it really been that long since i last posted?....i guess so.....Well where should I start....Lots has been happening ...some good but mostly bad....let me explain. My mother-in-law has alzheimer's. We take her every saturday to give my sister-in-law a break, this in turn is very hard on us too because it keeps us from being able to enjoy some outings we would normally do with our three kids. NObody ever told me how hard it would really be. Needless to say our family time has suffered not leaving us much time for friends and other family members. On top of all this, my husband lost his job in February , leaving us with no income for two months( He has since found a new one), we have been playing catch up since then. In September my own mother was diagnosed with, of all things ALZHEIMER's. She is only 72 and was my rock. I cry everytime i get off the phone with her because our conversation have changed so much ,i'm no longer able to confide in her....we talk about the weather, how she's feeling and when my next visit will be. So much has happened this year that i'm seriouly looking forward to the new year and hopefully some better luck. This weekend we are getting ready to celebrate my kids birthday. Yes you read it right...i have two kids who share a birthday. My son will be 16 and my daughter will be the big 5 on sunday the 16th. They are truly my rays of sunshine . So until next...I hope everyone is doing well.
