One of those days! AArrgggh!

I was looking forward to a nice easy day at home and now I wonder what was I thinking! With Mom and her Alzheimers it is never a nice easy day. It was okay going to church this morning. She handled that okay. Although I think she slept through some of it. Later, she was in an especially chatty and argumentative mood. Over and over again we went through the story of where she lives and why she is living here. Next she went through the things it was okay for me to do and what I needed to do differently; everything from new carpet to getting rid of my favorite comfy chair. She insisted on going upstairs even though it is not good for her hip and then all she did was get critical about everything. She wants it all changed even though she doesn't live up there. I was pulling my hair out all day with the constant barrage of demands and tirades. Then the story about what happens when the people who own the place come home. I own it but she doesn't seem to accept that part. She seems to have a guilt complex that she is always doing something wrong and the police will catch up to her.  Finally at 7:30pm I had enough and escaped to Walgreen’s to get milk and cat food. Home again and I turned off all the lights and went up to my room. Some days I wonder how much more of this I can take.  I will need to get out of the house more often. But that leaves Dad to deal with the  demands. I don’t think the new drugs are doing much to alleviate the situation. Maybe we talk to the doc again.
