Haven't heard from the Waters today. That has to mean that Mom took her meds today. Tomorrow I will take her home for the day. I am going to try a few things differently. Friday is my day off. It is my day to catch up on housework and to do somethings that I like to do. I haven't been doing that lately and I miss it.
I have been reading about caregiving and I have decided that I need to get some of my "me" time back. So, I have decided that I will either turn the Hallmark channel on for Mom or lay her down for a nap in the afternoon. Then I am going to go upstairs for some cardmaking. I have collected several ideas for cards and I REALLY want to spend some time crafting.
Another thing I am going to do is take some time on Saturday or Sunday or even both days to either play on the computer or do more cardmaking. I think Mom will be fine for a couple of hours. I may ask the Waters if I can bring home her alarm. I have been staying right with her the whole time while she is home. If I go upstairs to my craftroom or the computer I think I will feel better if she has her alarm on. Anyway, I am going to try it out and see how things go.
