Monday, October 12, 2015

Mom woke up in a good mood.
I made cream of wheat and added canned fruit.
Cheese and sausage on crackers put in the microwave.
Mom chopped up apples for an apple crisp.
She became a little cranky and eventually laid down on the couch and fell asleep.
She was complaining about the rough patches on her face.  She wanted me to make an appointment to see the doctor.

I had to get her ready to go to her home because we were meeting her sisters and brother-in-law.

As soon as we got to the bus stop she started complaining that we had missed the bus.  Luckily the bus showed up shortly after.

She was angry that I had invited her sisters to her home.  She wanted them to come to my home.  I tried to explain that her sisters wanted to see her place.  Mom was worried that she had nothing to offer them.  I told her not to worry because we were going out for lunch.  Finally, I noticed a situation happening at the front of the bus.  Someone had walked on without paying the fare and the bus driver had called her out on it.  She apologized and the bus driver let it go.  I explained what was going on to my mom and she was affronted.  At least, that changed the topic.

Mom was very happy when her sisters came.  She was very happy with the gifts they brought.  She had a good appetite at lunch and didn't seem bored at all.  She refused to take a nap.  We had apple crisp and ice cream for dessert.

After her sisters left, mom tried on her new clothes again.  She seemed confused about where they had come from.  I explained that her sisters had given them to her.  She was excited about wearing her new clothes tomorrow to daycare.  Then she became concerned that she had no money.  I showed her all her hiding places and she apologized to me for being angry.  A few minutes later, she did the same thing again.

We had a good dinner.  Mom was really interested in the food gifts she received.  I told her not to eat them all at once.  She ate two candies and then I put the rest in the cupboard.

She asked me if I would wash her hair tonight, but I explained that someone was coming to give her a bath and wash her hair tonight.  She was not pleased, but then she seemed to forget.

After we had more apple crisp and yogurt together I left for home.  Mom accompanied me to the building entrance.
