Dad has had two doctor appointments this week, and one next week. My daughter is starting school the next week. I have a doctor appointment next week too. Not to mention work, play dates and general daily things that need to get done. I haven't done laundry in two weeks, it's piling up. I get home at the end of the day and have to make dinner, make sure chicabella gets showered, and into bed at an early enough time to get up so i can get to whatever the first appointment of the day is. My garden is getting overgrown.
I need an assistant. Someone to help me get everything done. I wish I could find someone to take Dad to his appointments. And take copious notes, so i know what's going on. Dad doesn't hear it all. He only hears what he wants to hear, so I am never sure what the doctor needs to happen. Sometimes he just stops medicine if he doesn't like the side effects. It's hard. I want to keep him healthy and safe while he's living with me.
I thought it was difficult taking care of a child, he's more willful and disregarding. I don't want to take his dignity away, AND I want to make sure he does what he needs to do, and doesn't just stop taking some med that he doesn't like.
I come to work, and here, I can think. I try to focus on *work* instead of him. But some days I am just not able to.
There is too much to get done, I can't keep up with it all.
