# 19 Daycare and other events!

I need to start writing things down to share more often!  I keep thinking "oh, I will write this"  then when I get ready write....poof! it's gone.   One thing I do remember is that during the Christmas break, I was watching some daytime TV with mom and "Let's Make a Deal" came on.   Well as I may have mentioned earlier, she thinks any bald black man is my husband. so of course she thinks that Wayne Brady ( the host) is my hubby!!  "Is that your fella?" she says... I try to convince her that he is at work and that is someone else.  

The funniest thing happened as the young blonde gal that shows off the prizes.... Mom starts talking.. I try to make sense of it but am having problems figuring out exactly what she meant...     Come to find out she was talking to the TV because the blonde girl was talking to mom!!   Yup.. she thought the gal on the TV was trying to show mom what she was going to get.  She believed the lady on the TV could see her!!!    It was a bit of a challenge to convince her that the lady could not see her and unfortunately she was not going to get the prizes being given away!!

Mom's hearing aid is in the shop getting fixed, in the mean time I am losing my mind.  I am wearing earplugs!  Between the husband who has his TV blaring, Mom with the living room TV going full blast.  I hope it gets back soon!! They said it would take about a week... that means tomorrow.   We will see.


Today was the first day of someone coming to stay with mom for a few hours I think it went well.  Mom said she enjoyed the lady (who is 80 and has a good mind and physically good)  It's nice they are about the same age.   Jo ( the caregiver) called and said things went well too... I hope that it continues to go well.   She will come each day I am working during the week to make sure that mom takes her meds and eats a decent lunch... by definition that means she eats the lunch...NOT the dog!!   LOL
