2008

someone gave 2007 the one fingered salute.... i thought that was hilarious! had i read that post earlier i would have stayed up longer last night. can't say '07 was that horrible as a whole, but there have been some real trying times and some really trying people i'd willingly salute. naturally i'm gonna have to immediately sit down and pray for forgiveness as i'm already feeling guilty for saying that out loud.... but hey, it's done and i can always repent repeatedly.

the folks are holding their own. mom's sorta pouty today but she's not being too pouty that it's uncomfortable. dad has been up and down pretty good today-- and yes!!! he's once again using his walker. thank you god! he's been scaring the dickens outta me recently. perhaps he got tired of me following him everywhere, or perhaps he got tired of me putting the walker right next to where he ended up plopping down for awhile... it certainly wasn't the pep talk about using it. bottom line, i'm just glad he's now using it and can walk safely around the house.

whatever 2007 was, it's now time to concentrate on 2008. whatever that means... i hope it's full of the good stuff for all you folks reading this. as for me-- and many other caregivers out there... 2008 will be an hour by hour, day by day journey. that's ok.... that's what we do!! so let's all get on with what we do, shall we?! day #1. check.
