Well my Dad came today to meet with my kids. He had a great idea abd brought chalkboard paint amd chalk with him and suggested we paint the door to the garage to be a giant chalk board and make a chore list for everyone in the house and a space to put important events like days they wont be home to help me.

Of course he ended it with telling them they could always move out and he would hire me a home health ad person.....

we shall see :) for now :)

thanks to all who responded and for all your suggestions!!!!!

    Progress!!!!! I have
    Progress!!!!! I have chalkboard paint on one cupboard door in the kitchen( great for shopping lists!) and one wall in the guestroom is also painted with chalkboard paint~ it was great when we had kids still living here. We left notes back and forth regularly! Or drew smiley faces!

    I hope this is a big step in the right direction for you and especially your kids!!! Wouldn't it be nice to be able to exhale and know everyone is doing their part?? Here's hoping! YAY YAY YAY!!!

    :-)

    Hugs,

    Terrific idea .. never thought of this! I hope the
    chalk board is working .. How are the kids taking this change? Is is extremely difficult to continue rearing our grown or almost grown children when we are facing our own personal 'war' against breast cancer - and all that it bring with it. Did I mention the side efforts that continue to change and engulf our being? Please remind yourself this a your fight, and it's time to concentrate on YOU, your health and getting to the finish line.

    Crossing my fingers and toes ....

    Strength and Courage:-D
