Hi everyone! Life is hectic here...when isn't it? I think I have mentioned that my MIL has Alzheimer's and is living on her own. There was an incident where she accused the cleaning lady of stealing a couple of weeks ago. Of course the cleaning lady hadn't taken anything, but it caused a huge problem with the cleaning agency and the apartment manager wasn't happy either because the "fight" ended up in her office. The cleaning lady isn't coming back (because my MIL won't let her) and the apartment manager suggested that we may need to find someplace else for MIL to go. Easier said than done. There's no way we can afford a private room for her in a personal care home and I wouldn't even consider putting her in a shared room...she would make a roommates life a living ****. After a meeting with the area agency on aging and another with the apartment manager we have decided that I will go in daily to check on MIL, make sure she takes her meds, changes clothes and I'll do some cleaning too. It's all pretty ironic...she has hated me from day one, and now I'm the only one that she will let do anything for her. I wonder if she had known this, if she would have been nicer to me over the years?
Anyway, between dealing with MIL an hour or two each day, watching the two little ones 2 days a week, picking the two older girls up at school the other three days, and trying to keep up with work...I'm having a hard time keeping up with my websites. I'm hoping that once I settle into this new routine that it will be easier to find time for the computer and such. We have made plans to go to NC next week to see the newest grandbaby. Our oldest son will be checking on MIL while we are away (God bless him) keep your fingers crossed that she behaves while we're gone.
