hello all, Ok, so anyone can get it together and keep it that way for a short time (15 minutes to 4 or 5 days), but what happens when you let go? My son and my care giver ( his girl friend) went camping for 4 days. I had 4 grand children the first night and 2 thereafter to care for alone, by myself, with no help. Understand that my sleep pattern includes going to bed between midnight and 1am, getting up between 3 and 4am and napping at midday. When I added the stress of needing to be awake and aware and watchful for the many hours the children were up (the littles ones are 4 and 5), I was worried I could not do it. But I did. However, as soon as my son and Karri returned, I fell apart. That is they were home for about 10 minutes and I walked into my room and FELL on my bed and tried to sleep, and it was only about 5pm. After about an hour of rest I wanted to kick myself. I had done so well in keeping it going and watching the children and taking care of everything here at home, and as soon as another adult walked through the door, I fell apart. Why???? Just some stupid thoughts. Marling (still laughing - Don you are the greatest)
