I Cannot Commit

Well, Mama has gone back to Georgia.  I am blessed to have been able to care for her in my home for the past 5 weeks.  Bless her heart, she was homesick and wanted to be in her own home.  I cannot blame her for that at all.  Isn't that what we all want?  Don't we want to be inside our little nest, comfortable in our own surroundings, sleeping in our own comfy bed?  Besides, the lady at the beauty shop here in Florida didn't tease Mama's hair high enough.  Mama's exact words: "I'm not going back there...She doesn't know how to do hair!"

Mama isn't an invalid, but bless her heart, her memory is not good and she's a bit frail.  So now, she's back home with my brother J.D. and we have hired a caregiver to "sit with Miss Pauline."  Prayers please...I'm not sure how that's gonna work out 'cuz Mama is the Queen and doesn't take orders from others well.  I'm planning to go back up to Georgia to help with her care soon.

I feel so blessed to be able to spend time with my Mama at this time in her life.  My Mama has lived her entire life for God, her family, and her friends.  Now, both my brother and myself are committed to her well-being and scheduling our lives around her.

For that reason, I am finding it difficult to commit to anything else.  Supper club group...can't commit.  I would love to be able to volunteer with a few organizations, but I can't commit to times and dates. The other day, a lady from the church wedding guild called and asked for my help.  Well, I couldn't commit to that...Let down a bride at the last minute? Lord no!  I would like to find a fun part-time job {is there such a thing?}, but if asked "When are you available?" that would be hard to say!  Scheduling an etiquette program is also out of the question.  I would be terribly embarrassed to cancel a group at the last minute due to a needed trip to Georgia.  You may have noticed that I haven't been hosting any fancy soirees here at "The Roost."  Everything I plan now is last-minute and pretty low-key...

So, it's very hard for me to commit.  Please don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.  Just kinda wondering...Do y'all have issues in your life that keep you from committing?
