susandennisMom is doing a lot of complaining these days. Her mother, my perfect, wonderful Grandma did the same thing. Grandma never complained about anything in her entire life until the last few years when she complained about every single thing all the time all day long.
Mom's on her way. But, I think I'm understanding why. Her first email this morning was saying that she couldn't remember if her cleaning lady was coming today or not. She said that she needed to call the cleaning people and tell them that next time her person couldn't come to send a sub.
The next note I got was about 2 hours later and she was all pissed off because they sent a sub.
This little scenario is repeated pretty much all day. Last night she told me her friend, Libba, was mad at her. I sent her a note saying 'I'm sorry Libba is mad at you but I'm sure she'll get over it.' Mom sends a note back saying Libba isn't mad at her or anyone else and why would I think that???
Mom is just running on so few brain cells that she doesn't have enough left to use to understand that she's turning into Wanda Whackadoodle! She thinks she's told people things that never got said and she forgets what they said. But she doesn't get that all this is happening. I think her complaint level is a reflection of her frustration that things aren't happening the way her few little brain cells tell her they should and she can't figure out why.
On the up side, she does have to get her medicines organized and herself fed and cleaned. Those are the important bits. What's left over goes to Tivo and email. And she's safe and not hurting anybody.
And I'm getting much better and just letting it all roll off of me. My brother is going up there on Saturday for a little on-site check.
