Hello friends.
With Thanksgiving over,
it's onward to Christmas.
From now until mid December sometime...
I will be posting every other day
as I always do for the Christmas Season.
Today starting with my 2 mantles.
Hope you enjoy this year's tour of rooms.
In other news,
Thanksgiving dinner was a hit.
My sister did not disappoint.
The food was delish.
If you went home hungry shame on you.
No one went home hungry...trust me.
It was nice seeing my kids and grands
all together.
We caught up on things.
We all sat together at the table,
including my mom.
However my mom did not interact with us.
She just focused on eating her food.
Very odd, but it is what it is.
She is still lashing out at my sister.
Does not want to do her home therapy exercises.
Lied to me saying she was doing good,
when I know she is not.
Even after dinner asked her to show me a few.
I knew she was cheating on doing them....
because the ones I asked her to do were
the same ones I had to do myself when
I had my frozen shoulder issue.
I did call her out on it.
She did not lash out at me though.
I also told her if she does not want to help herself,
then she would not be going back to her home.
She had out patient therapy yesterday,
and lied at the questions the therapist asked.
My sister told me what happened.
I have no idea what should be done.
It is so hard because I love my mom...
but if she is giving up then who knows what
we should do.
We are planning on having her take
a dementia test in January.
My sister now thinks she may be getting it.
Guess she needed to see for herself.
Looks like some snow is moving in today.
Anywhere from 3-6 inches.
Tundra will like it.
Let Christmas Begin Blessings To All!

Your hooked ornaments look cute on the tree. Sorry about your mom and know it bothers you. But am glad your sister gets to see what condition she is in.
ReplyDeleteIt is COLD here and possible flurries but that's it. Until later in the season when I'm sure I'll see some accumulation.
Before you decide, make SURE you check to see if she has developed a UTI... They start out slow then come on with a vengeance. All sorts of symptoms. Disengaging...dementia like reactions...anger...

I will love seeing all your home photos decked out for the Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteI love your 3 stripe canning crock. I have wanted one forever, but decades ago when they were $100-$125, I would not pay that, but now!!! That would be a total bargain 🤷♀️
Poor mom. I know it is hard on you and sometimes it is so difficult to face reality. Not easy to watch a beloved mom aging.
Hugs and prayers for all of you.
Let the Christmas craziness begin.
Your home always looks beautiful and I think your Christmas decor is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Thanksgiving.
I'm so sorry for what you are dealing with, with your mom. It's not easy.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your Santa's.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your mom.
But do check out if it is a UTI or dementia.
Your decor is beautiful as always! I look forward to seeing your posts and get some inspiration for my own home. I'm sorry your Mom is having a hard time and that hard time goes on to her children to try and deal with it. I understand and truly hope it gets better. If she is experiencing dementia, perhaps medication will help her. Anyway, sending prayers for you and her! Happy late Thanksgiving and we're supposed to get some snow also.
