I am mentally spent.

rnfromtn · February 2012

So I just need to vent a little. I am so blah right now. DS's birthday is coming up on Wednesday. My mother bought 3 plane tickets for us to fly "home" for his birthday. I am still amidst planning his birthday here for in two weeks. I have to pack for all three of us. The house has to be in perfect condition as it is on the market and might have a showing while we are gone. ALSO, my father was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. Luckily it is the hospital where I work. He is in a lot of pain and they are doing what they can to control it with pain medications. But then with the pain medications and not being able to sleep for longer than 2-3 hours, he starts getting goofy. So I stayed over night the other night to make sure he was okay. He has a partially collapsed lung and a chest tube. In writing it sounds really bad, but he is still able to get up and walk around when he has the energy. I know he doesn't want me to cancel my plans to leave town. And I am hoping and figuring that the tube will come out before Tuesday. Going back and forth to the hospital every day to visit dad and then to go to work, getting stuff ready for our trip, making busy keepers for Levi for the flight, and everything else, I am just spent. DH has been very supportive and has helped out where he can. But he also works full time. Oh AND we are TTGP.

Okay. Thanks for reading. I just don't have anywhere to vent my stresses right now. THoughts and prayers would be nice for my dad. Thanks.
