At some stage in our livesour parents stop being the ones we turn to, and we become the caretakers. I jumped right in the middle of that scenario with my dad's surgery. We brought him home Monday, knowing that it was going to be rough for a while. We were told so many times that his personality would change after this surgery, but we were not really seeing any signs of that in the hospital. Now that he is home though, that has changed. He wants my mom, my brother, and me right there all the time. Now besides the obvious things that a single mom has to do like work and take care of the kids, I am a full time college student. This term my classes are very interesting, but there is a lot of work to do as well. Trying so hard to be there to help my dad, has put me behind in school this week. I seem to be having a lot of trouble putting my final paper together for one of my classes. I have so much information gathered on my topic, but I cannot seem to put it all together. Everything that I want to say is in my head, but it is not making it down to the paper. I must say that it is much easier to hit the delete button on the computer these days when you do not like what you have written than to crumble up tons of paper. I love writing on the computer, but I miss having my laptop that I could take with me to keep on working. One day soon I hope to catch up with myself, and catch up on the things that I need to get done. Until next week.....
