Woke up to a call from Ant's rehab place. First, he's only going to be there for 21 days, not 28 days. Not liking that. And we HAVE TO come for a 3 day family counseling session. That wasn't so bad, it was them wanting it in the middle of the work week. Got them to change it to the Fri-Sun spot.
But, I doubt my folks will be back from Grandma's by then, I can't bring my Sister with me so I will need to find a weekend long sister for her. Not an easy thing to do.
For the 3 day counseling session, we stay at the ranch so at least we won't need to come up with money for a room or food, but NO TV, computer, cell phone etc.... I don't think I can handle being unplugged AND classes from 9am-4pm for 3 days. OH and it is over the ONLY appointment date I could get with my therapist!!!! I NEEDED that appointment.
Add to this all the help I need to do for my Mom before she gets home. Mom's got her hands full. Grandma is purposely wetting herself, refuses to change her clothes or anything else. She's telling everyone she can lies about my parents...it's a whole lot of stuff that it's easy for anyone. So, I need to make covers for all of Mom's chairs and I really don't sew. I get to start cleaning out the back bedroom so that Grandma's stuff can be moved in.
Yeah....so far, I'm not liking 2011. BUT, my son is in rehab so life is good that way. And I appreciate the chance to vent. Thanks. (If my Mom would get over her fear of computers - I'd send her here. I think she'll need it with the major difficult child Grandma is becoming)
