I can't take it, please give me strength

I'm sure you are ready to pull your hair out! There isn't anything much more frustrating than the kitty problems that you are having. Been there!! Then to add the stress of the holidays on top of being sick, that's too much! I am so sorry that you are going through this but know that you always have a sounding board to vent. It'll all work out.

Thank you all so much. I just need a little sympathy and don't have a lot of people to turn for it. I called my brother who will be staying with Dad, he's great (actually both my brothers are great they just live far away). He's going to call Dad and help calm him down and he told me not to worry, they would take care of the tree and decorations if needed.

Now if someone could just take care of the cat problems and this nasty sick crud.

Gosh, so much going on! I wish I lived closer, I'd come over to help you out. I hate cleaning my place, but like cleaning other people's places, lol... go figure!

I hope that things will calm down and the kitties and your health will ease up and give you a break. It will be hard for you to get better when you're stressed, so I hope something works in your favor quickly for that.

Big hugs to you, and get some rest, and just forget what is going on for a few hours so you CAN rest.

I'm so sorry you're going through this! You should stay in bed and get a good long sleep. Glad your brother will attend to the Christmas tree and help your dad calm down.

I remember how it was with my mom, she lived on the 5th floor and sometimes she would decide that the windows should be cleaned - NOW! She was in her 70ties, so I was worried what could happen and rushed out there to do it for her.

Also sorry about the kitty situation, I can imagine how difficult it is..

Hope everything works out and you get better soon.

(((hugs)))

When it rains, it POURS!!! And this is the busiest time of the year to have EVERYTHING happen at once!!! It is good that your brother is willing to help out. Take care of yourself. Just remember, we are here as an ear to listen, and a shoulder to cry on!!! Prayers that everything works out!!!!!

Yes, you're definitely in the muck right now. Too much going on at one time and, cats being cats, they tend to make matters worse w/their behavior problems. You've gotten a few suggestions so I won't add any, just encouragement to hang in there, as lame as that sounds.

Breathe deep............

OK, you are getting a break. Your brother's broblem (where to stay) and your dad's problem (who to help) are taken care of with one solution.

So relax!! You do NOT need to bake. People will live without the goodies.

You can clean without making everything immaculate (I do it all the time )

And (as hard as it sounds) don't let the cats get to you. They are only being human OK, you know what I mean.

Things always hit all at the same time, that is life, but then....when it;s over, it feels SOOOOOO good.
