Well yesterday (Dec 23) was a bugger! Mom had 2 accidents major ones.. yuck within 3 hrs of each other. I guess her tummy may have been bothering her. So needless to say the day I had hoped to wrap gifts became the day I cleaned bathroom floors and did laundry!! Later that day she was much better.
With all the kids coming home for Christmas she became a bit paranoid thinking she should leave (back to her room) When she finally adapted to all the business around the house she became much happier.
She is pretty happy with all the snacks in the house! Her sugar addiction is being fulfilled for a few days..... I made some "scotch cakes" (iced shortbread cookies) When she saw them she gave me stink eye until I told her they were ready... she ate about 3 of them... then I had her stop because I needed some to be left for tomorrow. She was not very happy with me so I gave her some fudge..as a concession prize!
Tonight while wrapping she wanted to help wrap so I had her put the bows on a few packages... it was funny how long she took to pick the "right" one. We watched "The Sound of Music" surprisingly she knew the words to the songs... just not who I am....LOL~
Tomorrow is Christmas, that pretty much marks the anniversary of her moving in with us. I hope despite how frustrating and exhausting I am at times, she can make it one more year with us. Looking forward to tomorrow when Santa arrives :) good night for now
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...
