I'm afraid that things are catching up with me, It seems like I'm tired when I go to bed and just as tired when I get up.Mom is slowly slipping as far as her health. Don't know how much longer she will be with us. She is sleeping more and getting easily confused I'm hoping that when the time comes she will just be able to slip away with out much pain or it being dragged out forever. When my dad was told he had less than a year to live he lived for Ten Years after that. Seeing someone you love in pain everyday for Ten Years isn't something I want to go through again. Once was enough.

Moms nurse was here yesterday, she pointed out things I hadn't noticed with mom, she said its because I'm with her all the time. Moms heart is getting weaker, which is making her retain water in her legs. Her lungs are getting weaker also which is adding to her confusion and agitation. I have noticed that the smallest thing can really upset her. Often I have to tell the kids not to talk about things in front of her. She has a way of hearing things and twisting them so if she tells me I really don't know what she is talking about. They added a new medication to help her with her agitation, I gave it to her starting last night and hopefully we will remember to give it to her daily.

Been trying to come up with some things to sell at the Yard Sale here at Remington Park Apartments in Tooele its June 9th I believe from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. I have been trying to remember how to crochet some little clutch purses that we learned how to do many years ago in Primary been working on one hoping its the way its suppose to be. single crochet just isn't my cup of tea as they say but, I'm trying.
Mom has had her ups and downs this last week, I'm hoping for a more peaceful week this week.

Its been a hectic week. Didn't know for sure when my grandson's kindergarten class was having their graduation until about 6ish last night. It was today took a little bit of thinking to figure out how I was going to make it and have Josie to a class she signed up for etc. Thanks Melissa and Tim for helping out. I was upset last year when I wasn't able to go to his pre-school graduation so I was very excited to be able to go this time. It never rains but what it pours or so the saying goes. By Tuesday of next week Tim and Melissa will be staying at our house. For how long I don't know.
Mom has done some strange things lately even for her, The Aide that comes in to help her shower and that has always made sure she had some little sponge things to moisten her mouth with. Tonight I found one in the handle of the distilled water that she uses in her oxygen consentator . I ask her about it and she had used it with baby lotion to put on her feet. Where is a soft wall when you need it. Head banging is all I can think of that might help LOL.

A couple of weeks ago I made a Pot Roast in the Crock-pot over at my moms, I love mashed potatoes so I rarely put anything but the roast and seasonings in it, but, just for a change I covered the bottom of my Crock-pot with onion petals next the carrots and last the potatoes I seasoned them with some Paula Deens Seasoning Salt tweeked  I mix 1 cup of  Salt 1\2 cup Pepper 1\2 cup Garlic Powder and use it a lot! Then I put the Roast in on top of the veggies adding just enough water to put moisture in ( Less than a cup )  And then I seasoned it with the same seasoning as before. After letting it cook on high until the meat pretty much falls a part Taking the meat out I took all the potatoes( with the goodness of the roast drippings ) I mashed them with butter and milk just like mashed potatoes. MOM LOVE IT! Hope the twist might help someone out who has the Pot Roast Blues.

Mothers Day over, I enjoyed having my family with me, mom was able to come over to my house. The only bad thing about it was starting Saturday my family started getting sick one at a time until Sunday night when as hard as I tried not to get it, it hit me. Stomach Flu isn't for the weak! Mom had a little problem last night but otherwise wasn't affected Thank goodness.I was really worried about it.

Mom had a pretty bad night actually not so pretty. She coughed most of the night and was up quite a bit. I'm hoping she isn't coming down with a cold. Uncomfortable for most right down miserable or worse for her If she is sick she won't be able to go to my house tomorrow.She won't like that at all
