Stress...yeah, you can call it that...

The last several months have been stressful for not only Josh and myself, but for my entire family. We have had my grandmother living with us during the week, with my brother on the weekend and my grandfather in long-term care. We have been trying to make decisions about where my grandmother will stay long-term (an apartment or something) for her, because she doesn't want to make that decision. At the same time, I wrestle with the fact that I don't believe my grandfather needs to be in long-term care. I would rather him be out and living with my grandmother, and us just have someone care for them when we can't be there. Then, we have to worry about my grandmother going back to waiting on his every little need, when she can't physically do that anymore.

It's all a big ol' ball of mess, and all we can do is pray for clarity. Please keep us all in your prayers as we go through this difficult, confusing time. I really appreciate it!

In other news, I never got the happy face for ovulation last month, so I ended up taking the clomid, right now as far as I know, for nothing. I guess we missed it somehow?! Even with all the other things going on, the "infertility" and all that goes with it has still been deep in our minds and heavy on our hearts. We made a decision yesterday to continue trying until the end of this year, and then we will start looking into foster care/adoption.

I don't mean to write a post of gripes...My next post is about some of my new favorite's. It will be much more upbeat and positive!

I do hope everyone has a terrific week!

Sounds like you are experiencing some rather tough times, and trying to make rather difficult decisions. I hope some clarity will come to you and your family sooner rather than later. Hang in there.
