About Me

We're not the typical family. I've recently become Caregiver/Guardian to my Mom as she deals with Dementia. I'm married, have three grown children and also an 18 yr. old daughter who lives at home and recently made us grandparents to her beautiful new baby girl. That means that we have four generations of women under the same roof. Mister and I have been married forever. . .It's not the life we dreamed about, nor the one we would have chosen, but most days we find a way to laugh and bumble our way through. We're enjoying the journey, even with the unexpected side trips along the way. FOLLOW ME, if you dare! LOL!

Under One Roof.

What a week it has been - Mom has come to live with us and our youngest daughter (who lives with us) has had her baby.  The baby and her lil' Mama have had some complications but are doing fine now and are scheduled to come home tomorrow.  In the meantime my husband and I have been in full "team" mode juggling keeping a vigil at the hospital and yet keeping my Mom at home, with her meds and her routine in order, as much as possible.  It's been a week long process and my Mom has been a trooper.  She's done a bit more walking than is usual for her, but she never complained. Sometimes we've planned day by day and other times only hour by hour, but it has worked.  We knew when the baby was born it would be hectic, we just didn't know the hospital stay would be so long.  As the saying goes, "All's well that ends well".

Tomorrow we will all be under one roof.
Such a beautiful day!!
