Talking TO Mom!

Talking TO Mom!

Okay....there is something to this talking to Mom......she responds, sometimes as though she really does understand what we are talking about...Other times it is as though I am wasting my breath....we might be talking about a book or photos and she will ask the most bizarre question like...is this my bracelet....do you know where my phone is.....do my shoes match????but I have realized that it's less troubling to me to answer yes it's your bracelet, your phone is on the charger(it has been there for 2 years) and yes your shoes look lovely with that outfit....rather than fuss at her or remind her that I have answered that question eleven times today....it's rather calming to just answer the question and not be angry with her....it's much less frustrating for me and takes less energy...I learn something every single day from her and the number one thing that I keep learning is that SHE IS SO MUCH FUN!

RUDE AWAKENING!

I don't know when it happened......I don't know what happened! I don't even know how it happened! ALL I KNOW IS NOW I KNOW...

I have stopped talking to Mom....I talk behind Mother, around Mother, over Mother, at Mother, beside Mother, in front of Mother...but I have stopped talking to Mom.....what a rude awakening this is...I have gotten so busy taking care of Mother that I have forgotten Mom....

Now, I know and I can change this...I just wonder when it happened and how long I have been doing this and if Mom misses me? I CERTAINLY HAVE MISSED HER!
