Taking care of my mother is a full time job as it is with all caregivers. I only get to leave the house when my daughter comes over in the mornings Than most of the time I am running for supplies we need. As I have her all week-end alone I do not get to leave on the week-ends.
I know I do not take care of myself as I should but I am trying to do better now than the first few years. I have a treadmill and I use it a lot. I try and watch what I eat. I try and spend time with God praying and reading His Word. I do not get to go to church that much but we keep the t.v. on Christian channels all time.
Taking care of the caregiver is hard. I know I let myself go when I should not but, sometimes you are just to tired to care.
I did take one day last week and just go do a little shopping for me. I did pretty good found a few sales.
I try also to take time to write that really is hard to do.
I need to have some check up and tests done so, I am working on doing that when I can.
Caregivers need to take care of caregivers too.
Remember one day at a time.
Later,
Rebecca
