Haven't Posted Here In A While

[Dinger]

Just feelin' kind of worn out, down, etc. I live in northern Wisconsin, and my sisters & brother live inn the southern part of the state, and my brother lives in the Denver area. Both my parents live near me, and I feel blessed to be near them in their golden years. I am feeling more than a little overwhelmed right now. My dad is having some health issues (nothing serious, as far as I know.) I'm taking him for a doctor appointment next month. My stepfather is having a biopsy, and also might have a stent put in. Mom is doing o.k. I love them all, but it also happens to be the end of the school year (I am a teacher) and it feels like things are piking up. Oh, I forgot to mention that my son is getting married in late July (That's a good thing. My future daughter-in-law is simply wonderful, and we love her so much. I am starting to wonder how one knows when or if their parent(s) need assistance, either at-home, or maybe some other placement. I know this happens every day all over the world. I know I am a strong person, but it's gotten to the point where I'm not sure I can handle this. Also, my husband is having rotator cuff surgery next month, and our income will be cut in half for 2-3 months (right before our son's wedding, not good timing), but he needs it, so that's a good thing. It also means more responsibilities for me.
Sorry to be such a whiner, but I would greatly appreciate any prayers you have to offer.

Thank you in advance,
