"There's something about tough times that brings out the best in good people!"

This is what my perpetual calendar says today. I think it's reminiscent with "That which does not kill you only makes you stronger." My question is: Why do I have to be stronger? Why do I have to always step up to the plate? I'm tired.

I spent about 6 hours of quality time with my family yesterday. It involved calming my brother down and basically catering to my mother. The police were involved at some point yesterday. It wasn't a major scene but it could have been avoided. I've asked more more assistance with them. It's coming in the form of Home Health Care for Mom. Linda seems to think that that will get DHR involved. I hate for any of us to have to go through this but I know that I can't help them any more. I'm doing well to take care of me these days.
