Re: Betsy Girl Take Care of Yourself.

Betsy, and Lonnie use you and you know it. I would not know what to do if someone took over some of my jobs with Will. Dealing with this DD and him is more than I can handle somedays--but Mark takes him to school 4 out of 5 days per week.--his cousin takes him on Monday since she sleeps in while I work, I pick him up every day. Up until last week we had soccer 2 days per week and Cball 2 or more days per week. Now its just CBall which ends 6/1. My dad is not able to help and Mark's parent's have never even been to the school he attends and rarely attend any of his games etc.--they are too busy with their own lives. Even on my worst days I get up before 7 am and make sure Will is dressed, had a good breakfast etc. and out the door with his dad on time (we are late once in a great while, but not much). The only time I am off Mom duty is from about 2pm Saturday until 2pm Monday because of my job. I still make sure his clothes are laid out (practices, church, school otherwise he chooses) and meals are planned. Most of the time I only sleep and eat at home those 2 days, but if something comes up that Mark has a conflict I forgo sleep or nap around him. So enough of my soap box. Those kids are so lucky to have you, but needs to grow up because one day you won't be there for what ever reason and she will have to figure it out. Now they will want you to kitten sit too--we also have a new 8 week old kitten so they can be a real handful if they are going to turn out to be good pets and not wild animals. REMEMBER you must take care of you because no one else will or can. MJ / Mom to Will 1/6/94 and wife to Mark 5/19/90 Back to work as RN BSN CCRN
