Was able to get with our Little Sister and Little Brother yesterday. Both have had stressful years: She's in foster care; he's been in juvy and is now living ALONE (at the age of 16!) But, we played games, laughed and teased and for a few moments their lives were 'normal'. My little sister gave me the nicest note, saying how much she appreciated and loved me! MADE MY DAY!! This was a high!
Then, the low: my mother-in-law has a cold. Went over to check on her and she and the bathroom were such a mess! Got everything cleaned up and FINALLY managed to get her to bed - she was so wobbly and needed great assistance. During the night, heard her call out on the baby monitor - she'd fallen trying to get to the bathroom. Not hurt and was actually a bit stronger (didn't need help with toileting or getting in bed this time!
Glad our 'system' worked. Hopefully she's getting better, will get stronger and not need us to put her some place that can provide round the clock care.
