Scrape together some money (or better yet use the money of the ones we care for and have bled for), hire someone to care for them for three days, and we all go to Vegas and party till we can't stand up anymore! Drink, Dance, Laugh, Eat and More! (And it's OK to throw up, too, but only if it's from having too good a time versus from stress!) A judgement-free zone where the only thing frowned upon is......frowning!
We'll tell stories of our crazy "care-takers" and how they drive us totally nuts, and we'll laugh until the sun comes up and then sleep all day until it's time to hit the clubs again!
I had one night out during my crazylife of full time care giving, I was way over the limit but thanks to good friends I was driven home safely. I vented away as I drank but no one really got that I was longing for a ME time and the added bonus was blowing off my sister when she called to complain about Mom's needs (one night sis couldn't take it, the best part, I didn't care I was too drunk and thought it was funny) !!!!
Dunwoody, I live one day ahead of you all. I will see if your ebook will be free on my Saturday. If not, I will check on Sunday...I've heard that your book was humorous. I even had it on my Wish List. =)
Unfortunately for me, airfare is NOT cheap from here to the states. I wouldn't be able to attend the yearly "fun" caregiver meetings. Well, just the thought of 7 hrs flight to Hawaiii and another 5 1/2 hrs flight to the West Coast is just exhausting...but not enough to drink/party all night! =)
Ready to download your BOOK manana! xo
"Salud amor y pesetas y tiempo para gozarlas"
We would all still be worrying that our loved ones are not OK without us!!!!
I'm not being a cheapskate about spending $2.99 on an ebook. I just put a lot of books that I would one-day-like-to-read in the WishList. I don't want to download too many books and Never Get Around to reading it. Uhm...don't ask me how I'm progressing on your book, though. I'm currently reading ...3 books at one time. Later!
