...about being so incredibly MIA. Where's the postaholic in me?!?! Well, she's a bit overwhelmed at the moment...

My sister is doing well, but can't do anything for herself right now, really. I'm taking her to the doc in a bit, but we don't expect her to be cleared for work. We've been going to her appointments, rounding up paper work for her accident/temp disability/Aflac, cleaning out her car and getting the title switched to the junkyard, looking for new cars for her, and more. (When we went to the junkyard to clean out her car, I had a breakdown seeing it. But I took pictures for her to have...) I still have to bathe her, wash her hair, dress her, put her shoes on and tie them, everything. I feel so sorry for her because I know she hates this. But I think that she's on her way to being more self-reliant.

I've been running like a madwoman trying to get her things done, trying to move, find an apartment, help DH find a different job and finding another car, helping my sister, and so on. I'm tired. We've pretty much given up on housework since we know that we'll be moving. And we simply don't have the time.

I actually have this little break because my sister had to come here for a couple of things of hers, then make phone calls. I'm getting to sit down.

Like I said, I'm trying. I expect that I will be on more after this weekend. I hope so, anyway.

I think that's it...I don't really know. Hehe. My brain has turned to mush. If anyone has any spare brainpower, could I borrow a pinch???

Glad your sis is doing better.

Don't be embarrased Jess. I can just imagine how busy you must be. I'm glad your sister is doing well. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Oh, BTW, you can have a piece of my brainpower if you'd like. not sure it'll do much good, but oh well.

i am sorry i have no brain power to spare the baby is taking it all lol hope to see u around a bit more i missed ya

I really am hoping to be on more. We'll see how everything goes over the next week or so, I think. My sister found out that she has to miss the next 9 weeks of work because her collarbone isn't healing just yet. That means that I remain her chauffeur, but really, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. (Still freaked out about her accident.)

Got home last night and DH was pretty shaken. A concrete truck backed into the van they'd just gotten out of at their work site. Because of the height of both, there would have been serious injuries had anyone been IN the van. Guess who didn't sleep last night from more freaking out. Seriously, I wish that no one had to drive anywhere...ever.

Lots more going on. I'm trying, though, like I said. Just keep me in your thoughts occasionally, if you can. Use some of that brainpower to send good vibes.

And thank you ladies for understanding!!!

Wow - you have been through so much. Hang in there and dont worry about us. Family DOES come first and we all feel that way. Best of luck to you.
