My, how time flies...

even when you're not havin' fun.

Back in January, I thought we'd all be moving -my Mother, with whom I now spend most of my waking & sleeping hours; my husband; and 2 of my kids- into a home suitable for our drastically changed needs.

That plan didn't turned out like I'd hoped. Houses in our price range that would make it worth our while to move don't seem to exist. Our plan changed to moving my Mother in with us and dealing with the stairs as best we could. Then the dishwasher broke down and had to be replaced. In that process, we found kitchen problems that required replacing cabinets. We are waiting now for the new cabinets to be delivered.

Because I'm suffering from sleep deprivation, I've been unable to read books, much less blog about them. I can maintain my concentration for Facebook and reading other people's blog posts, but anything of any length is out of the question. I also haven't been able to watch movies, as I lose track of the plot. Mother has access to the SyFy channel, and I've discovered Warehouse 13 and Eureka, but it's just not the same.

We've made some arrangements that'll let me spend nights at my own home for a while (my sister still won't spend the night at Mother's), and I hope to be in better shape as I catch up on sleep. I have a stack of books I've read but been unable to write about, a neglected tbr pile waiting for me and many an unwatched DVD. Someday -hopefully someday soon- we'll all be settled in together and I'll have re-gained use of my mind.
