Feb. 28, 2006 - Finally Freedom
Well, it's been an awfully long time since I've posted a new entry here. February is very busy here. I have had a lot of changes, though. I turned 37--doesn't feel as old as it sounds. :) I extended an olive branch to my husband.
The biggest thing that happened was that I was dismissed from my grandmother's service almost a month ago. She got mad at me for trying to find a caregiver for her--which she had asked me to do. She didn't like the way I was doing it, even though it meant she wouldn't have had any out-of-pocket expense. My husband and I were jubilant--a huge relief! She took him off as power of attorney and told me she didn't need my help, she could take care of herself. I don't want to abandon her or neglect her and please realize that I'm not doing that--she has aides coming in to care for her every day and my uncle is taking care of her business for her. I'm not abandoning her--I can't help her if she blocks me at every turn.
I felt a real peace about it, felt like it was the answer from God for which I had been praying. I was amazed at the way He worked it all out.
Soooo...we got some super good learning in with no interruptions or emergencies from Grandma. I know that she's angry with me, but I don't feel guilty about it at all. I'm able to give my family my all, without wanting to run and hide from everything that's totally overwhelming me. Praise the Lord!!!
Now...praying about the taxes...I have to get them done this week! I think my CPA has hired a PI to find me. LOL. One step at a time, I guess.
I covet your prayers for getting my home back in order, too. The whole time I was helping Grandma I swept a ton of junk under the housecleaning rug. This place needs to be turned upside down and shook out!
