Yes Janet, it is quite a chore to be at someone's beck and call, especially when you have responsibilities of your own. So many people do it though, that I feel guilty about complaining - especially about complaining about my grandchildren - and ESPECIALLY when Betsi doens't ever get to see her grandchildren anymore. Yet, I get so tired and stressed sometimes and just need a break!!!

I so understand. I know I don't have much time left with Mom, but sometimes she acts like I'm suppose to stop whatever I'm doing and run to help her. It takes me 15-20 minutes to get to her house. I feel guilty sometimes too for complaining about it, but what else can we do? We sure don't want to complain to them because it would hurt their feelings too bad.

At the rate my son is going....doubt I'll be alive to see grandchildren. He's only gone out with one girl, got his heart broke and that's been it. He's not even looking right now. Says he needs to get a full time job and wants a better vehicle. I think he's just afraid of getting his heart broke again. Maybe someday.

Just to let everyone know that we are leaving tomorrow for Arkansas. We'll be back next Tuesday. I may be able to check in, but maybe not - I'm not sure how strong my phone signal will be. I'll probably be able to read, but may not be able to post much. I'll be thinking of all of you and will try to remember to take some pictures to share. Unfortunately, the leaves won't be turning much yet. It would be so nice to have some fall foliage pix, but don't think there will be any. I'll be thinking of all of you!
