Fortyhboobs's blog post - Uh-oh, I'm afraid it's happening again...

Friday, April 13, 2007, 12:10:40 AM
I just lost my mother at Christmas after a long illness and now I feel like it's happening again with my mother-in-law. D's mom suffered a mini stroke the week before last, and the writing seems to be on the wall for her. This time, though, D and I will be responsible for providing all her care, he doesn't have any siblings to help out. But that's ok, she's a wonderful lady and we're glad to do it.

Because of her declining health and the time D and I will need to provide care for her, we decided to close my website. We simply would not be able to maintain it while taking care of his mom, who might possibly have to move in with us. We stopped accepting memberships and re-bills on April 1, and it will officially close on April 30.

I'll still run the Clips4sale store I started last month because it takes just a fraction of the time to maintain that a traditional website does. But I doubt if I'll ever have a website again, at least not until after my mother-in-law has passed away, as morbid as that sounds. It was fun and all but it sure required more time than I thought it would.

Hope everyone had a happy Easter. Last week we stayed at my sister's house (where my mom used to live) and babysat for her so she and her husband could get away. We took D's mom with us to keep an eye on her. She did real well, thank God. My sister lives in a big beautiful ocean-view home just about a mile from the beach, but we couldn't really enjoy it because it was foggy and gloomy every single day! Our Easter celebration was nice but low-key, it was the first holiday without our mom there.

Anyway, I'm back home playing catch-up and working on updates for my website. It's only right that I continue to update throughout the month since I have members who will be active until April 30. I want to leave everyone with a smile on their face, ya know? wink

I've missed you all! xoxo
