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!

Bad guys don't always wear black hats.

Bad guys don't always wear black hats.

Sometimes they stand five foot tall and wear blue pajamas.
That would be me this morning.
Mom awoke with a back ache and ongoing ear problems.
She didn't feel well.  When she doesn't feel well she ALWAYS blames it on the meds she takes.  With that thought, she told me she had decided not to take her pills for a few days.  She was adamant.  Not taking her meds is totally a non-option for her.  I tried all sorts of persuasive measures, but to no avail.  Then I became "the bad guy"  sans the black hat and had to verbally "push".  She finally gulped down the pills while giving me the stink eye, then went back into her room where she stayed for a long time.

By lunch all seemed forgotten and/or forgiven.
Now it's time for more meds.

I'm goin' in.
Wish me luck.

*I made a doctor appt. for Mom for tomorrow.
They will re-check her ear and address her back pain, making sure no UTI is present.

  1. You go girl. It's a tough world & you have to be tough to survive... When I have to do something I don't want to do, I wait for the next opportunity & then treat myself. You deserve a treat! In my world, that would involve chocolate, but in your world, go buy some new lipstick! Love you.
