Mom feel and broke her hip

I haven't posted in such a long time. So here is my list of excuses

1. Mom fell and broke her hip, had surgery, went to rehab, will come home tomorrow

2. School just ended last week with the last couple weeks being crazy

3. Extra hours at my second job with lots of meetings, training, etc.

4. Mom fell and broke her hip, had surgery, went to rehab, will come home tomorrow

5. Weather has been so hot, I'm just whipped, spending time in pool to cool off

6. Had family reunion here last weekend so had to clean up

7. Mom fell and broke her hip, had surgery, went to rehab, will come home tomorrow

8. Been to hot to do anything in a room that isn't air conditioned

9. Mom fell and broke her hip...........

Oh, OK, so I've just been lazy. Actually thought of several really good posts to make, but always think of those things while mowing the lawn and then when I get back into the house I forget it. But Mom did fall and break her hip, had surgery, went to rehab and does get to come home tomorrow and now I can see how my life is changing. I've had to take over her finances, not that she was doing a bad job, but there were things that she was paying for that she didn't need and she thought she had removed her name from things and yet things were still coming. I've taken care of that for her. Now I'm getting all her bills on direct debit or payments online. I can view her banking online now and keep track of things that way also.

Next week I'm planning on leaving for a few days and just hope that my body will allow me to do the miles that I plan to do and also hope that my mind will allow me to not think that I'm a terrible daughter for leaving my Mom home alone. Looks like a number of her friends will be checking in on her and hopefully Mom will realize that she is 83 and needs to take things a bit easy.

Next post will hopefully have some wonderful pictures from my trip.
