Have you ever said "I can't wait until my life gets back to normal?" I know I have and it seems that normal is only in my imagination. When you are a caregiver it seems you have to get used to change especially when the one you are caring for has a chronic condition.
I struggle with Plan A then Plan B and on and on until Plan Z but still I get sidelined with the unexpected. I've found that keeping a calendar and remembering to jot down notes and appointments help but sometimes my pages are marked beyond use due to all the last minute changes.
What have you done to cope with the changes in routine? I would love to hear creative ways of coping.

I have a permanent calendar with my "normal" schedule on. If i get to do what is on it, i feel like i am having a normal day or week. Sometimes though it is a constant reminder of how chaotic my like has been.
But usually it is a good reminder to myself that I DO know how to schedule my time well, but my circumstances are not allowing me to. Which helps me to think I am not going too crazy, at least not yet :)
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
