Is blogging for when you have no-one to talk to?

So, here we are again - four months later. It's a very good job that I'm not an author - I'd never get my best-seller finished!
I have really been looking forward to this summer. I finished working in June - youngest son would have finished school - is it possible? We are now a school free zone - how did that happen?
So much time, three and a half months, to visit all our family and friends and spend time at home doing all those jobs you never have time for when you're working.
Has it happened like that? No - of course not! And it's no-one's fault! I can't blame anyone.
Firstly, what happened - the rain!! Our one trip away for a 60th - lovely B&B with friends - we get flooded out - decide we need to head home so we don't get stuck.
Home actually - wasn't home - it was the parents' place to collect son and mad dog.
As we weren't meant to be there - brother, niece and partner are there. Fine, till they start drinking!
Big bro seems to think that a fun occupation is winding me up - reminding me what a plonker I was as a teenager - trying to embarrass me in front of youngest son and implying that all of my sons talk to him more than to me about their personal lives because I'm too 'something or the other' and they're not really as good as I think they are!!!
Do I believe this? No! But I still get upset - especially when the parents keep telling me what an amazing evening it is and we must repeat it soon!!
But then they start asking youngest son if he really wanted to go on a surfing holiday with said brother - they were under the impression that he would enjoy being with a lot of drunken peple he doesn't really know but I had stopped him!!
Thing is when your parents are very old and very ill - you can't say anything because you don't want to upset them.
I have to say it was one of the longest nights of my life - it's a good job I'm a Christian - I was so able to call on a power that is greater than me.
Anyway so we survive and get home - not relaxed as we had hoped but together.
The second problem is husband's health. This has been, initially gradual, but an immense deterioration over the last month.
He is unable to walk, bend and do a lot of the things he used to and the things he enjoys.
Trips to doctor has resulted in xray and MRI scan.
Now waiting to for an appointment with a neurologist. Have been waiting for over a week - don't know whether to worry.
Thirdly sister in law has had a malignant lump removed - waiting for the all clear.
So, here we are in August - not visited any of the family friends - except parents - I had hoped to.
No visits planned for the foreseeable future
Finding it very difficult to cope with all the extra tasks, stay calm, keep cheerful etc.

Faith is keeping my head above water - would truly have  drowned without it.
So here we are waiting .......
