Ughhhh

Ughhh I am so BLAH this week actually since the weekend. I am awful I know I marked my entries as read…. I had 24 updated faves and couldn’t look at all of them. I just haven’t felt like being on here. I apologize if I didn’t read your entries. Maybe next week will be better. I have been super frustrated with Kerry for over a week. I just hate being told something will happen or that we are going to do something for him to up and change EVERYTHING. If I tell someone I will do something then I do it or kill myself trying. I have been trying to help the man across the street for almost 2 weeks now (he had a pacemaker put in.) It seems his son is never around and he lives down the street. He picked him up from the hospital the day he came home and hasn’t been seen since. My mom and I have been taking meals over to him. I have been working with his perscriptions to help him get the forms so he can get a break or free meds. He makes less than 800.00 a month in Social Security. How the government thinks someone that makes that much money and his meds are over 900.00 is beyond me. How are people suppose to live? Anyways I have been helping him and I am to take him to DHS next week if he is strong enough to see if he can get some more help. I have also been helping my parents of course daily. Seems like my Dad gets more and more out there with the dementia everyday. I don’t know why he frustrates me because I have taken care of TONS of people with dementia that didn’t frustrate me at all. I think it is because he can be so hateful. If you ask him to do something he will just turn and look at me and do as he pleases or cuss me or Mom out. Kerry’s folks I took care of them for over 3 years with never being cussed at or not appreciated. I don’t know I think it is a C**** (his last name) gene to be mean. His mom and 2 of his sisters were the same way. Oh well I guess it is my lot in life…..
Anyways again I apologize I will try to get back on here sometime the end of the week or weekend if thikngs get better and the blahssssss go away.
Hugs to all though

You seem very busy looking after other people, which is good, but take some time to look after yourself!
