About Me

We're not the typical family. I've recently become Caregiver/Guardian to my Mom as she deals with Dementia. I'm married, have three grown children and also an 18 yr. old daughter who lives at home and recently made us grandparents to her beautiful new baby girl. That means that we have four generations of women under the same roof. Mister and I have been married forever. . .It's not the life we dreamed about, nor the one we would have chosen, but most days we find a way to laugh and bumble our way through. We're enjoying the journey, even with the unexpected side trips along the way. FOLLOW ME, if you dare! LOL!

a Hoot!


The past week has been a good one.
Mom and I have had some fun, giggle-y moments.
It feels like we are finding our "rhythm".

The other day I noticed Mom's fingernails looked "different".
I know that nail color can be a sign of certain illnesses.
Upon looking closer I could tell that she had painted her nails "white".
This doesn't sound like anything I would comment on, except for the fact that Mom has NEVER, no not once, in her entire life, worn or owned nail polish.  She's always said she didn't like it. . .She later told me she didn't like her nails polished and wanted "that stuff" off her nails. I was cooking dinner at the time, but told her I would give her some nail polish remover later so she could "take it off".  She scratched at her nails and removed the polish before dinner was even on the table.

The next morning dawned, and once again she was sporting white nail polish.
Go figure.

This afternoon she asked for the polish remover and removed the white from her nails, again.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Sometimes Mom is a hoot!

    Well, that is very interesting. Wonder what she is thinking as she puts it on? It's nice that you are getting to have some loving on the baby and also giggly times with your Mom.
