OK where is the warm weather? I need some warmth right about now. I can't believe it's so cold here in the south. But, it didn't stop my daughter and I from going garage salin' this morning, we hadn't been in months and they had a couple of big ones in town. We did however wait untill  a little later to head out, after a cup or two of  coffee and a hot biscuit.  I found a few items, one or two that I probably should have left  where they were. A some what large picture that I paid a dollar for and some brand new shoes that will probably give me blisters, but because they were never used and only cost a quarter, I had to have them. Can you say "NUTS". LOL The picture my daughter even warned me about the second I put my hands on it, "Mom, where are you going to put that?"  And guess what, I don't have a clue as to where I'm going to put that. LOL But it's so purtty!

      Once we returned home and unloaded all our goodies, I walk into the house to the aroma of soup simmering in a big pot on the stove. My dh had a hankerin for some hot veggie soup and took it upon himself to throw one together. He even went to the store for soup meat and chicken salad, how sweet was that. Now I don't have to cook today, and the sun is finally out to boot, lol.

     Mom is having some good days and some bad days with her Alzheimers. She is more agitated in the evenings than any other time.  Last night she was very upset with us changing her and putting her on another shirt to make sure she was warm during the night. The temp was going down into the lower 40s or upper 30s. My home is old and drafty and I'm so worried she will get ill. She does have the sniffles right now, so I pray that that is all it is. I have to get up all hours of the night to put her blankets back on her. She is constantly saying she is cold, even freezing, but insist on throwing her blankets all over the room, her pillow too. She still has her days and nights mixed up so she is up watching TV all night.  That makes it hard for me to get a good night sleep because I worry about her being awake all night. So guess who is a little sleep deprived these days? It's almost like having a new baby in the house, lol.  I do spend a lot of time asking God for a hand or two.......................

You're so funny with your bargains. I think we've all done that. My grandfather had his days and nights mixed up when he was alive and had alzheimers. That was very sweet of your dh to make lunch! Chick fil A made ours today ;)
Have a blessed weekend.

I'm glad you got to go hit the garage sales today and come home to soup and chicken salad too! I hope your mother gets her days and nights straight soon. Maybe you could ask her dr. about that. I'm wishing for way more good days for you all.

I hope everything goes ok with your mom. That must be very frustrating for you all and a bit heart-breaking. My grt grandma had Alzhiemers too. :(

Blessings!
