   I so badly need sleep. Taking care of Grandma and Grandpa is taking alot out of me. I hardly get any sleep. I try to stay awake so that I can hear them if they yell.  Man do I just wish I could sleep. I just keep praying to God to give me strength and courage to keep going and to keep taking care of them.
   My worker Marsha came this afternoon. She took me to town and I got groceries and stopped at the drug store and also got Grandma's paper from my Mom's. Marsha said that she would see me on Tuesdays and Fridays. I really don't want to loose her as a worker. She means so much to me. She is the reason that I am still here...She keeps me going. She gave me enough hugs to last me until Tuesday I hope. 
   I prayed last night that God would just hold me and help me feel ok...safe is maybe a better word. I told him that I wanted Marsha to just hold me. But I didn't ask her to and I really wish I would have. She is going to give me a picture of her and her husband. Then at least I can see her kinda...Hearing her voice and seeing her makes me feel like I can keep going.
   I don't know how much more stress I can handle. I just want to keep helping. I can not give up. I gotta keep helping Grandma and Grandpa. Everyone else has a job and a family. Although my Aunt Larae is coming tomorrow. I asked Grandma if I get tomorrow off and she said no.
   I really feel like calling either Father Marty or Pastor Jeff. I know that they both care about me. And that it isn't because it is their job. 
  Thank you for listening...
   God Bless,
   LacyLou1985

I think it would be a good idea to call the pastors, maybe some of the women of the church could relieve you just for a power nap. You can't go on like this with no sleep you'll get ill yourself. hugs. kat

i agree with kat lack of sleep is not a good thing.Maybe you could find some one to come in and relife you so you can get some much needed rest. I know you love the grand parents but honey you have got to take care of your self to.

Hello Lacy Lou ,
God Bless you sweetheart, I hope and pray that your Grandparents are not too demanding of you.
I am Aunty J (Jan). I looked after my Husband /Mum and Dad ,then my Dear Aunty and Uncle 24/7 for many years. 
I am sending you lots of HUGS because I know exactly how much you need them .
We do care about you here and anytime you are in need of a hug you will have as many as you need.
I can understand what you are going through ,the not getting any sleep .24/7 is one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do in my life . Anybody that thinks it is an easy thing to do ,Doesnt know what they are talking about .I do not know just how much you have to do for your Grandparents but I have a very  good idea ,from what you have said in your post and by reading between the lines.
 I DO Know lacylou ,because I have been there many many times and TRULY I do  understand .ANYTIME YOU  want to talk you, just leave a post and I will try to be here for you .Or leave  a post and I Promise you I will always reply to it.
I am so pleased that you have a Health Care worker.I help she is helping you in any way she is able to as well.
I can also understand that if everyone else is working that you are caring for your Grandparents but surely they could give you a break at some point  on a regular basis .Even a visit so as snickers said you could get a power nap.Or a lovely soak and relax in a bath.Or so that you are able to get some rest and sleep. 
 If you do not start getting some quality rest and respite from the 24/7 caring ,you will make yourself ill and then you wont be able to look after your G/arents at all.
I have a suggestion that you may find will help you .
While I was living and caring for myDear Aunt and Uncle. I Brought a Baby alarm and put one part in my Uncles bedroom and had the other part in My Aunties Room, where I slept in a chair at the bottom of her bed. So that if he needed me in the night I would hear him .I do not know if this would be useful for you.
I also think that it may be a good idea ,and agree with Kat and Snickers.That you should call Father Marty or Pastor Jeff  to come and see your Grandparents. It would be good for them, and give  you  a short respite where you could do some things for yourself .
Please LacyLou ,You must look after yourself honey,or you will make yourself ill .
God Bless you ,Please take care .
Loads of Hugs .Love from
Aunty J.(Jan)

Hi everyone,
I found out Monday that I have Adult Whopping Cough.Also on Tuesday morning my Grandpa passed away. I have pretty much decided to move in with my Mom that my Grandma needs more than I can give her. I am very angry at her and honestly I am not a violent person but would really like to hit her right now.
I am at my Mom's So I am getting sleep. Tahnk you all...If you want you can email me at [email protected] Aunty J.
