Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My sister is helping, and we are getting some financial and emotional support from the others. I'm the one managing the personal care, though, with the agency. Which hopefully won't be so difficult once we settle back down into a regular schedule (the last cook quit without notice).

First world problem. I have to defrost my mahi-mahi before I can cook it for lunch. And I have another call in 30 minutes. Crappity.
I did make some cucumber/yogurt last night so I have a bowl of that to tide me over.
Just told CJ that Grandpa isn't coming and his response was "I haz a sad". Which made me smile along with having my own sad.

Holy cow, that is a good one!
Ugh Suela, I know how much it sucks trying to find a good place. But in the end it will be worth the stress of looking and finding one.
Kate, I never said YIKES about the roof, or the good news about getting it fixed. Yay!
Thanks!
And when it comes to a couple days of solo parenting, give yourself permission to do whatever feels easiest, seriously.
Yeah, this is my plan. Also, trying to find a few people to come hang out with me over the weekend.

I'm glad they're helping, though it still sounds like you're carrying a disproportionate amount of the burden. Anyway, I hope you all can work together to find a good placement for your parents.
good luck Suela
happy birthday Polter- Cow
good luck , Kate - have fun
Definitely have a friend over, Kate. amych did me a total solid once and came over for dinner with me and the kids (aged 8 months and 3) while mr. flea was out of town once, and it was soooo helpful. Dillo needed me to go to sleep, and Casper was NOT interested in being left out by herself, but with amych to watch Iron Giant with her it worked, and made all the difference. (Especially since I had nearly left her at the nearest police station earlier that afternoon for really egregious behavior.)
Oh yes! Happy birthday P-C!
Friends to keep you and Rose company would be awesome. I know I leaned on my friends when Jake was little, a LOT. (He was the first baby for all of us, so he was this adorable novelty, and I took shameless advantage of it.)
"I haz a sad"
Aw, CJ.
I am so sorry, Scrappy.
