Heaven knows we would teather that boat if only we could.

You have a good plan. My littliest dog is a rat terrier and the other is a mix between rat terrier and jack russell. They are sweet and help me get through my days.

God Bless

Quick update. Mom is folding towels, and humming to a gospel tape!!

No tears so far today. Muffin is laying near her.

So glad she is having a good day.

GREAT!!!! I found that your memory of days like this one will last a lifetime. The memory of the crying days will fade.

Maybe you should take a picture of her this day. It will be a great memory for you during hard days. hugs

Good idea. She thinks she looks awful but she is really a very pretty woman for 80 except when she is having a bad day. Then we both look about 100. She's still doing good today and its 2:45 here, but evening is when she really gets going and I have some health issues also so by late afternoon I am usually in pain and thats when my patients goes out the window so I am going to really work on evenings. It's not always her . Sometimes it's me.

How about a girl's night of doing each other's hair and makeup! I bet mom would love it and she could do you up so pretty. You are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds like another great idea. You have such wonderful ideas. Maybe a manicure could be given also. I havent had one for a very long time. How about you?

I think you just need a break. See if someone can let you go do something for yourself. That way you can have an enjoyable time w/o worrying about her.

You are so right. My husband can watch her for short periods, not over an hour or so. But I do have a friend who will stay with her or I can take her over to her house but so far our times don't match. My brother lives an hour away but thats not a good place for her. I do need a hair cut, but as far as my nails go I HAVE CHEWED THEM TO THE QUICK! LOL
