Today, I started a blog

Okay, so I've been trying to think of a way to keep family and friends updated on Dave's condition (you know, the dreaded Alzheimers Disease, which I will refer to as AD) without having to call you all and sound like I'm whining all the time. I'm sure, judging from experience, not many want to hear about it. A wonderful friend who shares this experience of being and Alz spouse, suggested this blogging thing. Since I am not very computer literate, I thought there is no way I can pull this off, but here I am!! :) I hope I can share our experiences, both good and bad, and maybe it will also help me deal with the stress of working full time and caregiving full time. I also hope that I can share family experiences as well. For example, Grandson Dylan turned 5 (omg) yesterday, and we had a family thing a Chuck E. Chesse's. It was lots of fun, and we always get to see Heather's family at these functions, and they are a hoot, (and yes, I mean you Toni!) so it's fun to get together. Grandson Joey (8) is getting ready to make his First Holy Communion this month, so we are looking forward to that. I think the biggest news is that eldest Grandson Dominick (who is starting HS in September) got accepted to Saint Bonaventure High School in Ventura. This was no easy feat, tests and interviews, finding community leaders to write letters on his behalf, and yet, HE'S IN!!! We couldn't be more excited for Dom. He has worked so hard for this, and we are very proud of him! Well, this concludes my introductory first blog (woo hoo!) and though it's entitled Diane's Daily Life, I doubt that I will have time to post daily, but thanks for visiting, and please check back often. I will be adding some pics and fun stuff, please be patient with the novice blogger!
