This is the weekend we move Dad (page 2)

Mulan...what kind of friends are those?!

My kids, nieces and my brother. They probably just don't see me doing it. Doesn't fit my image, does it???

Thanks, Valis. I am happy for all of us.

Would you believe no one has ever offered me any? I know people who smoke it and others who eat it in cookies. So far they aren't sharing.

Hee hee hee....Orcas Island. A huge apostacamping fest with unusual campfire smells.

cookies? what cookies If you eat one, I'm going to be right there a'watchin. TM makes the best, they last for hours. I suspect you will fall asleep and have very interesting dreams. I have to go to bed because I get so tired of being under the influence of the cookie.

Rachel <going to the freezer to hide a couple cookies for Joy and Mulan at Orcas>

Enjoy our privacy.. between your 'grand central station' moments!

It was so nice of you to take care of your Father like you did. Sometimes older ones do better in a home around people their own age.

I have worked in nursing homes and it is amazing how the women really move in on a single hot man!!!!! He'll probably have the time of his life with all that attention. The nurses even really baby the older guys. It is so cute. Enjoy your freedom!!! Marie =^..^=

Sooooo...Mulan.... how did the move go?

Seems to me, I saw you in another thread nursing a bottle of scotch..are you stressed out or just trying to unwind from a hectic weekend?

Yep, that's what I was doing. I didn't realize it would be so hard to let him go. I have kind of mixed feelings about it, and am pretty protective of my Dad. I worry he will miss a ballgame, or his radio will get off the station, and he can't find the right one, or someone won't tell him about an activity he would really enjoy being part of. He can't see to read the list of events there, but I told them to be sure he is informed. I just have to trust them to do it for him. I did so many little things for him, and I worry he will not be happy. He is though. I was there for two hours today, for his DSHS assessment. His social worker is really nice, and reassured me. I was almost in tears though, and didn't realize I was emotional about it all.

I was pretty stressed about the move, and my mother had to make an issue, but I wasn't terribly surprised either. She simply MUST be the center of attention. But it is a wonderful feeling, too, a freedom, almost like being on vacation. I still think I hear Dad coming up the stairs though, and wonder if he is going to interrupt me as soon as I get started on something. I think I will get used to it pretty fast. Scotch helped last night.

This is a big change. Even though it can be a positive one in many ways, I can see where you might be meloncholly about it as well... Probably as time progresses and you see he stays happy there it will ease for you... I don't imagine the changes are always easy to take..

After having your Dad in the house for such a long time, one could certainly get really used to listening for him coming up the stairs and all the other things you did for him, certainly shows what a loving person you are.

I'm sure he will make up fine, but I imagine there will be adjustments.

Sitting down with a good scotch, and your feet up.. is great thing to do. I'm sure you will be dropping in on your mom and dad often to check on them.

I must say it sounds funny, when you speak of your 90 year old mother wanting to be the center of attention. Maybe, she has always been that way..from very young to very old.

Rest easy, Mulan.. your a gem.

sincerely
