Been Really Busy So Please Hang In There With Me

That's very sweet of you Abby. I really appreciate it very much. I'll still be responding but I may have my slow moments and sometimes I'll be right on it depending on what's going on at the time. Hubby and I wanted to go up to my parents and pack all they have left and get it all down here where they need to be but they gave us all kinds of excuses not to so we're at a loss at what to do right now. They have to be out of their house by the end of this month and the way things are going, it'll be longer than that and my nephew and his fiance are to move in to rent their place the first of the month so they need to get their stuff out but.... it's like an ever ending circle. Mom wants to sort or clean things first before moving it and that takes time that they don't have right now and I've tried to explain that she can do that or WE can do that after everything is moved but she wants to give some stuff to Goodwill there in that town... why? I don't know for there's a Goodwill in her new area so why not give it to them? They have a good sized guest house to put all the stuff in so she can sort it while moving in to her home but she doesn't see it that way. ARGGGGG!! lol I don't want to put any more stress on them for she's exhausted trying to keep up and do the every day things and then dad going into the hospital surely didn't help things and now he needs to regroup with himself now that he's home which is understandable so let us, hubby and I do the work but they don't want us to until they get their stuff sorted and such. Oh geeze! When does it ever end? Soon I hope. I know I'm ranting on but gosh I'm so at the end of my rope.

Just hang in there, and it will all come to an end - eventually. Take a day at a time.

Thanks Abbey. I know it will. I know it will. *sigh*

Sweetie you are welcome and it is coming to an end soon and then you need to relax for a while Sweet Hugs

Awww thank you so much gabs! You're a blessing of a friend! I hate neglecting my friends but so far I've been able to keep up but this weekend is when I'll be gone again to get my parents moved once and for all. It's very hard on them to have some things in one place and other things in the other place. Again thanks so much!

Thank you very much for the Best Response.

Oh I won't neglect you! lol No no no I won't do that. I just won't be able to respond in a timely manner but I will respond eventually but just wanted to let you and everyone else know the reason but that I haven't forgotten you. What I've had to do is, I made a file called mylot in which the discussions that I feel I have something to contribute to I put them in that folder and then when I have time I'll respond to them. Thanks for the comment about being of support. I'm sure they're happy that I'm around to help. Me too for that matter ;) I've been gone for most of the 16 years, hubby just retired from the army of 27 years, and now that I'm back, I want to help all that I can. Thanks for understanding! It's soooo appreciated!

Hubby and I wanted to drive up and pack their things for them but they told us not to because they're not ready to do that just yet. Mom wants to separate everything because she wants to get rid of a lot of stuff but I've tried to tell her that since she has a guest house she could do it there but no she wants to do it at her old house first.... argggg! lol So we're going up there next weekend for sure and we hope they'll be at their new house so they can't argue but we'll see. Regardless, we're going up there next weekend and everything is going to the new house.

Thank you so much mom! It's such a blessing to have such understanding friends on here! I will tell my dad what you said. He'll be impressed and happy to know about it. Isn't it funny though that life has it's ups and downs? For me it's either being bored or running around like a popcorn kernel in a popcorn machine. lol Never a happy medium. Anyways.... hubby and I will be going up to help them move the rest of their things next weekend. We're going to make sure everything they have is moved once and for all so they can stop feeling so stressed out and WE can feel better knowing they have all of their things in one place. Oh that's such a dream right now. lol

You've got that right. It isn't for the faint at heart. And yes I do need to care for myself more but I always think of others before myself. It's just the way that I am because of the way I've been taught. Hubby and I wanted to go up there again tomorrow to pack all the rest of their things so they can be down here once and for all but they've given one excuse after another not to so we're at a loss at what to do to help them. In the meantime, I've been working HARD to catch up with discussions everyone has put up and I'm getting there little by little.
