although temps were supposed to reach the high 90's, we're thanking some clouds for preventing that nasty bad heat.... dad got to enjoy reading his paper and magazines outside almost all day! he had an ok "head" day... and not too tired today either. wahoo!
i'm thinking of everything completed today and feel pretty confident... the last thing i want to do is leave something undone or unfinished for brother-- who's stepping in, by the way, for the next 4 days so hubby and i can reconnect with a short getaway-- and do a lil birthday celebrating, too. while i've completed a day by day, commitment by commitment agenda for bro, and did all the shopping, the cleaning, the laundry, the meds, the beds, appointment scheduling, etc. i worry... but i'm seriously trying to stop that.
i've read too much recently about when caregivers go on respite. bad move!!! so, to regroup, i haven't stopped in on the forum i belong to on purpose... needed to step away to get organized and my head on straight. you know how things end up right in your face sometimes... well, that's how i was feeling. i knew this time away was coming yet all i "saw" were posts about if it's really worth it and it was freaking me out!!
found that i definitely made the right decision to step back-- cuz this i know now:
my marriage is worth getting away...
my husband is worth it...
i'm worth it...
i know there will be aftermath...
i also know bro will do the absolute best he can-- as will 'rents...
so let the pieces fall when they may...
we will all be F-I-N-E...
why? cuz we have F-A-I-T-H
ttyl-- next tuesday to be more specific.

In spite of what people on the board may say about respite, the fact is that no ones LO is ever damaged because of it.
I think that our worry is the worst part. If you can just try to let go and know everything will be fine then you'll have a great vacation.
