I saw the most wonderful sign of spring, while checking my mail this week. The daffodils have sprouted out by my mailbox. It also brought back a bitter sweet memory of my grandfather planting the bulbs before Parkinson's disease ate his personality and functions away.

I know stroke and Parkinson's disease are not the same, but I wonder, how my Granny may of felt being a full-time caregiver to a non-verbal almost non mobile spouse?

Changes are coming our way soon.

Hubby, got a job promotion and will no longer work nights! Another step up on the 'ol corporate ladder. It will be an adjustment for our only child to have to share both parents at once. AS well as for myself, I will have to share daughter with my spouse also. *No longer the girls sticking together.

I am looking forward for the changes that will happen. WE will get to spend more time together as a family. :happydance: I will have to adjust to cosleeping with my spouse again. Being one-sided makes it difficult to snuggle. We have not shared a bed simutaneously for two years. WE may be ready to trade our bed in for 2 twins. Just teasing.

I have already been preparing daughter at night for our big 'lifestyle' change. WE have coslept together for 5 years and I have cut another apron string.

She is sleeping in her own bed for the first time in her life with no problems. :yikes: She has actually stated she likes it better, b/c Mommy doesn't hog the covers. She knows our bed is open anytime if she is scared or needs us. It will be nice to have Husband home at night to defend the family if need be. :bop:

Must go attend a metting at daughter's school.

Have a good one.
