Tired...............but happy...

I am exhausted. I have spent the week moving my daughter into a group home where they can help her try and live on her own. It has not been easy but I think it is for the best. She has been in there a couple of days and has wanted to come back home but we think it is best for all of us to have some time apart and just have her visit on weekends.

We took her out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant today and she kept apologizing cause she could not eat. They have her on topamax so she can lose weight and we are happy that she is losing. I think she will be much happier. She wants me to join the Y with her and I do feel that will be a good thing for both. I love to swim and I need some exercise myself.

Wish us luck on this. I know it is for the best.

  2. Great idea Garnet! Working out not only helps the body but the mind and spirit as well! If you go at least three to four days per week, you'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel in just a couple of weeks!

  6. I hope this works. I think most adult kids need to be out of the house.

  7. Garnet, so happy to hear from you. I think it wonderful that you and your daughter have the opportunity to exercise together. It is a rewarding experience expecially when shared. I am praying for her Garnet and this group home just may be an answered prayer. I do hope all goes well......:-) Hugs
