Well, this week, when I just thought it is nearly Christmas the year is almost over, we have done it, I was knocked flat out by life's next twists and turns......
My DFIL is currently in hospital with pneumonia and the doctors are testing a lesion on his lung for suspected cancer.
The doctors are telling us that my mother's time is very near - her heart is so gravely compromised that they can hardly get a blood pressure reading - it could be only a few weeks or maybe days, who knows with my mother's indomitable will?
Early this week I went for my three month follow up appointment with my gynaecologist after my operation earlier this year. I told him about another issue I was experiencing and now I am going into hospital TOMORROW for another procedure and for him to have a good look see as he wants to rule out cancer!!!!!
Lastly, I went to see my GP last night to get my blood pressure checked and a new script for my blood pressure medication and it was through the roof! I told him all my most recent news and then I got worried when he said that he would say a little prayer for me and kissed me goodbye!
As my post title said - I am feeling so overwhelmed. I also feel so bad as I am involved in some cross stitch exchanges and I am just not getting much stitching done (as I spend so much time running around and then when I get home either TraderVic or the children want to spend time with me - we have tried to do a few nice outings as well to have some quality time) plus I am trying to organise my DS2's 21st (for the 28th Dec), my deadline for my next book is fast approaching, DS2 is graduating soon as well and I am trying to plan our trip overseas for next year - I am losing focus and I just cannot keep up with it all!!!!!
Sorry, I just needed to get all of this off my chest - thanks so much for listening.
Blessings on you all,

Hang in there my dear Prayers coming your way xx
Sorry you are going through all this. It's not been a good year that's for sure. I know what you are going through with your parents, especially your mom as we went through the very same thing with my dad. He died almost 2 months ago. And my mom isn't in good shape so I fully understand. Saying prayers for you.
Hang in there Kaye! I know how it is though you have more on your plate being married with kids but it is hard. I hope all goes well with your gyn appointment and that it's fine and just stress. Take some quiet time for yourself everyday even if it's a long hot shower with some music playing. Hugs and prayers to you.
Oh Kaye; what to say; my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your parents are receiving the best possible care. Take care of you ♥ Thinking of you. Hope all goes well tomorrow.
Oh Kaye I'm so sorry....thinking of you and sending Prayers your way xo
Kaye, I am so very sorry that you are having to deal with all of this. Sending loving {{hugs}}, positive thoughts and healing energy, wish I could do more to help you out. xoxoxo Deb
Kaye, I've been reading your blog this year and know this year has been so hard for you. I'm so so sorry this is happening. You have so much going on and so much to worry about. Lots and lots of prayers that all will be well. I wish I could do more than just send these thoughts and prayers to you. They are so little, but I hope they help at least a bit. Know that you are thought of over here in NY.
Many of the other comments reflect my feelings. No wonder you feel overwhelmed!! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. My best advice is simplify. Only do the things you have to do. As much as I love stitching, that is not essential unless it is for peace of mind. Take care of yourself in all this!
You have more than your share of issues to deal with. I will keep you in my thoughts.
I'm sorry Kay that things have been so stressful! I'll say some prayers for you for a lightening of your load. I hope all will turn out for you tomorrow!
Hugs!
Inhale....exhale.... I am sorry to hear that your FIL has taken ill again. I pray that your mother is comfortable and at peace. Hang in there sister... The road will smooth out soon. Hope you find some calming moments in theses days ahead.

Oh my goodness Kaye. I'm so sorry you are having so much to deal with at one time. Hopefully the tests will prove negative. Such a difficult time for you and your dad. Will be thinking of you.
So sorry for all this. Hope things improve.
Oh Kaye, I am so sorry to hear all of this. Please try and calm down for your sake. Getting stressed out doesn't help you or your family. Hang in there, things will work out. Sending hugs and happy thoughts your way.

I think, reading that, I would be more worried if you weren't feeling overwhelmed. Wow....I am so sorry you are having to go through all this. Re: the party: delegate: get dd involved..its her party, she can plan and organise if she wants too lol.
Know that you are not alone: we are all here for you and I hope things settle down to a more reasonable level soon. Please, please take care of yourself. We often don't and then how can we help everyone else. Fingers crossed the cancer checks come out to be nothing. They ere on the side of caution these days xxxxx
