Yesterday I felt overwhelmed. Grandbaby hanging on to one hand, pretending she's bunji jumping (the rope being my arm), and my Mom hanging onto my other arm, leaning her entire weight on my elbow. This is when I wish I had sisters. JJ you are soooo lucky.

I've told my son …make sure you have at least two children so they can share when it's time to take care of you. Oh well, big help that is for me;…my brother living over seas.

He is planning to come to Germany, end of September for two weeks, to take a load off my shoulders. So Mom is now sulking and saying she wants us to do everything together as a family. Hubby will not like that. On one hand, I do think it is great to do things together with my brother and Mom, on the other hand, Hubby says now we have an opportunity to do something for ourselves and grandbaby. I tend to agree with my mother, it is wonderful when family gets together…but I can understand Hubby too.

I can't win.
