Day 23
Submitted by 1sweed on Sat, 01/18/2014 - 17:14
My life has become so full of long weary days and restless nights. Since I am now the full-time caregiver for my mom, I no longer have the extra time to pamper me. I find myself rushing from one chore to the next and when I get in the mood to slow down and watch a movie, it now has to be a quiet and wholesome one without any loud music or good plot in order that it does not bother mom.
I love her and feel as the daughter I should care for her in the best possible ways. I do not mind or wish to complain about the time spent with her, as she is elderly and needs me more each day.
I just long somedays for the peaceful quiet days of having my own place to live and being able to do my own thing once in a while. Now it is one errand after another and no down time when I need it.
A funny thing happened the other day. We wanted to cancel our tv cable and replace it with dish tv. However, since my mom had never taken the bill out of my dad's name after he died, the cable company said in order to cancel it they needed to speak with the person who's name was on the account.
I said good luck with that one he has been dead for 24 years. Luckly, we findly found a smart representive who new how to help us cancel the account. lol
Otherwise here I am being a nurse and maid and housekeeper, pet sitter, and etc... to a wonderful older lady called 'mom.'
