Joan--I enjoyed reading your blog today--Take this job and shove it! You and the others who have written about being tired have expressed it so well. I know some days I just feel like I can't/ don't want to do this anymore; and though I would never abandon my DH in his time of need; it helps to admit and verbalize these feelings on this site and take comfort that we are all feeling the same. I also find myself looking into what the future holds for us on this awful AD journey--guess that's part of the "being tired", because I know it will continue and my husband will decline more and more. I don't want this kind of life anymore! Then I snap myself back to the present and try to concentrate on one day, one hour, one minute at a time.....and know that I will keep going for him, because of our pledge and committment of love to each other.
