Visiting my 83 year old mother in a rehab facility, maintaining two homes, caring for a 5 year old with the flu, walking my dog, feeding my mom's cat, running child to gymnastics/swim/ice skating, running mom to dr. appts., working, cleaning houses, taking daughter to fellow kindergartener bday parties, being thankful that mom was here for another year with us.... oh....I'm tired!!! I'm sure that the possibility of this must have crossed my mind years ago---caring for two people on opposite ends of the age spectrum----but the reality is that I'm faced with multiple emotions of frustration, overwhelmedness, love, happiness, fear, sadness, etc. Just trying to stay present in the moment, because I'm sure that at some point, I'll be devastated that I wasn't able to do it for longer....
