[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 507630, member: 84"] TM............trust me, hon. It's not being petty. I've had a busy 18 months that have been filled with death and family crisis. Frankly, forget petty, I'm downright sick of it. In all honesty, it's been too much at once. Even for the grandkids, it's been too much at once. I'm grateful we're so close that they feel safe in discussing their feelings about losing mother in law and husband with me. Although Darrin has developed an odd habit of spelling papa instead of saying it. I have a feeling when easy child talks about her dad with sister in law she's spelling instead of saying hoping it skips over Darrin's radar. I dunno if they're talking about the subject with their parents or not. And I have as yet to break their confidence in letting their parents know they're talking about it with me. It doesn't bother me and kids need someone to talk to too, even at their ages. Would it be possible once Duckie is feeling better to go along with husband to help with grandma or to just visit grandma? Maybe that would be a chance for you to catch a night out doing something fun and normal. I haven't caught my breath in more than two years. I think I'm beyond petty. I'm downright sick of it and find myself waiting for the next crisis to pop up. ugh There is nothing wrong with the way you're feeling. It's reasonable given what has been going on. Just remember, it's ok to stop and take care of yourself too. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
