The Sandwich Generation

What exactly does The Sandwich Generation mean?  Well, for one thing you have to be a baby boomer, born after WWII from the late forties through to early 60's.  I qualify for baby boomer status.  Secondly, you have to still have children at home and an elderly parent that lives with you.  Right again, I qualify on that point as well. So, I am sandwiched between my kids and my mother.  Like the ham between slices of bread.  On one end I have three children: 21, 24, 27 and on the other end my mom is 92.  It is more difficult to care for my aged mom than my three overgrown adolescents. To make matters worse my mom has dementia-Alzheimer's.
So I am blogging about this dilemma which is effecting everyone I know in their late 40's to early 60's.  I am writing a book to share with you.
