Reading...Thanks, Debi, for coming to visit my blog. Reading this post, I began to get angry when I realized this stinking mess had been created by your family. And then I read that you had gone on a mission of mercy and kindness to care for your sick mother. And then I became really mad. Mad at people I don't even know who let the house become this mess.<br /><br />I think you are somewhat like me, however, taking the bad and turning it into something good. The dust is distracting you and taking away your thoughts of your mother.<br /><br />But next time, if you go away, things had better be different when you come home!!Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-59896941017352722562009-08-13T09:17:04.553-04:002009-08-13T09:17:04.553-04:00Hi Debi.

Ha! Ha! <br /><br />I know what you mean about the mixed emotions-guilt, frustration, happiness in returning home, loneliness.<br /><br />I can just smell the rotten potatoes. You are right. Those are the things you gritch and groan about with your mom. No one can understand like your mom. Heck, she's been there! Hang in there. I pray you get some glimmers of light in the middle of it. And some brilliant moments of coherency with your mom, right when you need them the most. In the meantime, enjoy the nice clean kitchen.gingerhillery@mac.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058818226976530765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-41349096585182988582009-08-08T16:56:55.519-04:002009-08-08T16:56:55.519-04:00Missed you Deb, glad you are home, but not as glad...Missed you Deb, glad you are home, but not as glad as the farm and your hubby and daughter are, or your horse children!<br />Hugs and a prayer for your Mom...<br />CClaudia Condiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428880113459923927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-88729975532400048282009-08-07T17:09:51.219-04:002009-08-07T17:09:51.219-04:00I was hoping your return meant good news; I am sor...I was hoping your return meant good news; I am sorry to learn otherwise.
