guster how's the vegan invasion going? I made a tofu quiche today that is one of the very best things I've ever had. Think it's better than quiche with eggs, which is shocking.

What's going on with your MIL, klong11? She has early onset Alzheimer's. She has been steadily declining since her diagnosis a year or two after mh and I met. Now she is non verbal and doesn't really have the ability to get around on her own. She should really be somewhere that can better care for her and her needs, but FIL refused to send her anywhere. The hospital bed is a shock though, mh was just there with Cadence on Sunday and didn't think she looked any different than she has been.

We've been eating out all meals with the exception of breakfast (which the teenagers don't eat). I've actually done 0 cooking. It's kind of amazing.

So I started work at 3am and left after 1230. I just work up from a nap and still feel like I need a lot more sleep.

His sister is very nonchalant about it all, but she is more hands on in the situation. When his mom started forgetting things he started backing off of his relationship with her. My guess is when she does pass he will hold it all in. I don't know if death is better all of a sudden or stretched out over such a long time.

In addition to not liking milk, I've never liked eggs either. Don't get too excited though .... I do like cheese.

klong11, she is living w you, right? Who cares for her during the day? Not trying to stick my nose where it doesn't belong. I just watched my aunt go though this. She had her MIL w Alzheimer's living w the family. I know it was really hard on them. She was doing a lot of really bizarre things. I'm sorry- I feel for you in taking all this on.

Oh no, she doesn't live with us. She lives with FIL. He takes care of her most of the time and they have a helper come in when he needs to get out of the house.

Still sorry she is doing so poorly, but I'm relieved you're not trying to juggle that too.

Hi guys. It's been a crazy few days, Miss J has decided that one nap is way better than 2, so it makes for a very, very busy day.
Anyway, off to catch up...

4 adults & 3 kids. They ordered one medium pizza. Wtf. I'm starving. I'm currently shoving my face with ice cream. We went through 4 bottles of wine. One of them was the prisoner though so I'll let it slide, since that's good wine.

Also, how was this tuna dip you had to drive super far to get? I've never heard of tuna dip and it sounds... not delightful.

vino, I think we are headed for 1 nap a day as well. I'm not thrilled. It'll be easier to get out and about to do stuff, but C and L don't exactly play well together so it's kinda exhausting when she's awake so much!

The very thought of eggs gave me the creeps starting around 6 when I realized what they were.

The second nap started to be hit or miss come March or so. Now it's fully one nap a day, and it's an early one too. Down by 11 and up by one. Some days he fights and I have entirely, and will sometimes fall sleep around 1230 or 1. It's tough on the summer activities, and super hard to plan anything.

This is kind of where we've been the last 6 weeks or so. I was a little surprised because I don't think Dude dropped to one until around 14-15 months.

I still wouldn't have driven out of the way for it though.
