You're aunt is right

Crys,

You're aunt is totally dead on with what she said. You are no good to anyone else if you don't take care of yourself. I believe that we had that same conversation earlier when you had expressed the idea of getting people to cover your grams visits on days other than when you go. In addition, but you have 2 kids at home along with John who all need you as much if not more than your gram does, just in different ways. AND we can not forget that Crys needs Crys. So, stop the madness now, because you never know when I might need you in the future! LOL!

Love ya,
Jenn

what my aunt said

Today, I was talking with my aunt about all the stress that I have on my plate right now and how I am just feeling so over extended and spent and she said something to me that hit home. She pointed out that I am doing the same thing that my mother did when my grandfather was ill and that it was part of what made her put her own needs aside and pass away. Not that it was anyone esle's fault but she let things get her down to a point where she did not take care of herself at all and i see it clear as day. That is just what I am doing and it needs to stop before it is too late. So tommorrow I am going to start down this path again come hell or high water and it is going to be really tough but what good am I to those that I love if I am not here at all?
