Ok, so since most of you reading this don't know my mom a bit of history is necessary from time to time. She is a clean freak! When I was younger, Saturday mornings 8am were meant for cleaning our house. It didn't matter what.... up and at 'em was the rule....
The time 8:30 am I am getting ready to clean house and Mom meets me (I am standing) in the hallway "are you awake?" she says as she is staring at me!! LOL
I tell her that "yes I am awake are you awake?" Mom...."well I think I am still asleep" She then turns around and goes back to bed.... 3 hrs later she is ready to wake up.
So we cleaned today in preparation of my son's arrival and the fact that the house was dirty. She wanted to help so I told her she could dust her room... a few minutes (20) later I go check on her and she is huffing and puffing like a freight train! She had been cleaning the bathroom floor with her dust rag....Thank goodness for bathroom rugs!! She is so proud of her dusting job! So am I :)
Just spent 20 minutes explaining that this is not Christmas ( it's 103 degrees today!!) I won't be making cookies for this weekend....... It is 7:30pm..... long night ahead.... gotta get her to stop thinking!!
This blog is to help share my adventures, yes adventures with my Mom's dementia and to help keep me as sane as possible... not saying much!! We shall see how this goes and where it winds up. Kinda like walking in a blizzard wearin' white...
