Hello friends,
Today I am featuring a mish mash
of Valentine pics over the years.
Some I do not even remember. LOL
Hope you enjoy the picture show.

In other news,
When my brother and I took my mom out
last Thursday, she was being a grouch.
She would not answer my brother
with any questions he had.
He finally said are you ignoring me?
She said yes.
She did not want to wait for lunch,
nor see her nephew or niece....
even though she was the one who wanted
to meet them for lunch.
However afterwards on the way back
to her studio, she said it was nice seeing them.
UGH
I went back to see her on Friday,
and at least she talked to me.
Then again on Saturday, my sister went
to visit her and she ignored my sister.
What gives?
My mom will not answer my phone calls,
so I flat out told her I would not call her anymore.
Maybe my brother and sister should also
tell her they wont visit if she continues to ignore them.
I know she is mad at us for moving her
to assisted living, but it was not an easy decision.
Hope she gets over her childish attitude.
Today my brother and I are headed back
to my mom's house.
She agreed to sell her car to Michael my grandson.
Since his accident, he had been driving
Mikayla's ( his sister) car...well now hers died.
Michele asked me what we were going to
do with gramma's car, so I asked my
brother and sister if they had a problem
selling mom's car to him.
Then my brother and I asked my mom.
Mom will no longer be driving,
and her car has been sitting in her garage now
for 7 months. We start it up when we go there...
but it needs tires.
Michael will pay for new tires and the car.
It is snowing again. UGH
Wish me luck since I need to drive
the car to the tire shop before getting it
to Michael.
Monday Blessings To All!

I'm glad your grandson was able to buy the car. I thought you were going to say, my mom said no. Losing control, letting things go, is hard. My mom had a stroke and we all tried our best to take care of her. She had in and out stays at different "homes" and then back at her home it was so hard on all of us. Even years after she has passed, I still dream that I forgot to take care of her or some of her needs. I do regret being harsh with her because I was unable to understand how she felt. Not just her feelings, but her abilities. I understand some of it now that I'm losing my mobility.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the ongoing issues with your mom. I know you are doing your best for her. I think the car purchase by Michael is a very good thing!
ReplyDeleteI liked your pictures, especially that old violin!
I loved the picture show and I'm sure next will be Easter? We got 3in of snow but it's going to be in the 50's on Saturday. What an up and down! I know my Mom had her moments before passing at 94. I think the lack of control over situations and sometimes just general aging or dementia can be the blame. I wonder how I'll be in a few years. Probably a swearing old bitty! Ha! I hope things go better with her as she gets used to her assisted living. I know it's sure is better for everyone to make sure she's safe and taken care of. Have a good week and I don't know about you, but I'm glad I don't have to drive to work in this weather!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for your mom and her attitude. We went through something similar with my aunt Marcy. She got so mean, she would only talk to a few family members. She even took paper and taped over photos of family she no longer "liked" that she had hanging on her walls.
Sending a HUG!!
Lovely pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your mom!! Praying all levels out soon!!!
I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Part of me can feel her sadness and frustration about having to leave her home – the memories, the belongings, it would be an incredibly hard reality to accept. And an incredibly hard decision for you as her children. Maybe in time she will soften if she’s surrounded with her favorite things – pictures, books, blanket slippers – whatever was close to her heart. Maybe the transition will become easier with time. And maybe she has nothing to say – maybe she would like some audiobooks? Some soft music? I’m just trying to think back to what we thought would help my mother-in-law. It truly is a difficult time for everyone - guilt and helplessness. Truly, sending you all wishes for peace and comfort.
ReplyDeleteGood luck driving. We didn't get it badly and I hope you didn't either. And wishing you even more good luck with your mom and weathering that storm of emotions and behavior. I'm sure the dementia plays into it but oh, that has to be so frustrating. That's great about the car, though.
ReplyDeleteA very fun "mish mash" Janice.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. So sorry things are difficult with your mom. Praying it gets better for her and you.

Sorry about all the troubles with your mom. Could it just be dementia and she really doesn't know what she's doing.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are lovely!!
So many sweet vignettes.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry with what you are going through with your mom. Aging is not always a kind process. It gets more and more impossible to reason with them 😢
Gosh this age there are so many of us going through the same issues. It is so hard to know what to do - you know what is right, but when you put yourself in her shoes - it's hard. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteSweet "mishmash" of photos. I sometimes look through mine and think about reposting some but most are not re-post worthy. I'm sorry about what you and your family is going through with you mother. "Modern" "medicine" has done well at extending life spans, but I'm not always sure it's a "good" thing. I don't mean that in a cruel way...it's just that I know what my mom went through. All she wanted to do was "go home." The sweetest, humblest, devoutest person I knew became angry, cantankerous and confused. It made my heart hurt to this day. Keeping you in thought and prayer.
ReplyDeleteMy friend's mom never spoke to her again after moving to a senior apartment. Told brother she felt discarded. My two aunts were more devastated when their cars were taken. So sad to deal with on both sides. I hope this passes and visiting will be more pleasant.
