My Time With Mom

Ok so I dreaded this in a past post, but my time with my mom was not as nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It started on Saturday morning. Logan and I went and picked her up and got her in the car. Kylie had already brought me all of her stuff so that was easy! We went to Target and she actually did fine. She held on to the cart as we shopped. Of course she had to buy Logan a toy. So she was excited and happy to do that, well needless to say they both were :) After we finished at Target we went to the movies to see Monsters vs Aliens. They both did really well in the movie. I got a little upset cause mom accidentally dumped all of the popcorn out on the floor, but it was not her fault, I gave it to her in the left hand which since the stroke she can not feel that well. After the movies we went and had lunch then headed home. I put Logan down for a nap with Marc then me and mom went to Ross and TJ Maxx. Everything went smooth there too! I thought the day would be alot worse with mom and a potty training toddler but it went rather smooth! The next day was the worst day of all of them. I woke mom up and decided to give her a shower. I have a really high spa bathtub and I knew this was gonna be a challenge (I dont know why I did not think to put her in Logan's tub). She took a shower and I went to get her out and she could not get her left leg out of the shower. She ended up getting tired and straddling the shower and sitting down. I could not get her up for anything. It was the hardest thing ever. I just stood there and cried. She was not listening to me. I think that she may have had a stroke that morning. I ended up pulling her onto the floor and sliding her into the bigger part of the bathroom so that she could get her balance and stand up. Finally after 1 1/2 hours, she got up and I was able to get her dressed. I was so frustrated and got a little mad but I think that I handled it pretty darn well. I took her to get a haircut and lunch then headed home so that everyone could take a nap before dinner time. We made dinner that night and had a good evening. Monday was the best day of all of them. I decided to stay at home from work and to spend time with mom. We woke up and I took her to lunch at Joe's Crab Shack then we went to the mall and walked around. Well, mom was "pushed" arounf hahahah. We had a really good time together and no hassles that day whatsoever. We had takeout that night for dinner and go ready for the next day. Tuesday she stayed with Marc then we would have dinner after I got home from work. Wed was the same deal then after dinner I took her home because Kylie came home that night. I think that it went really well and I am so glad I got to spend time with her.
