I had a wonderful, relaxing, much needed weekend with my daughter. We didn’t get to do much yesterday because I was under the weather but today we floated and played in the pool for several hours on a beautiful day with no one around. What a gift! She insisted on helping me with the house and wouldn’t take no for an answer. It was greatly appreciated as I’m having a hard time keeping up with it with the ongoing emergency situations I keep having with mom and brother.

I need to sit down with mom and sister to discuss brother’s care. He’s not participating in getting better and I won’t be able to keep up with all of his needs. I never thought I’d say this but he might need a good nursing home. I’ve decided to take Tuesdays and Thursdays off to start coming back from burnout. I’m also cutting out things mom and brother can do for themselves. I’ve allowed myself to be taken advantage of for years and I need to change that now.

I hope everyone has a peaceful Monday.
