Usually my sister in Iowa has Mom with her and her dh but if Mom needs someone to take care of her that person is me.

I am pretty sure Mom will be with us from now on. Sis is a very independant, on the go, wealthy woman (no kids by choice) who would never be able to care for Mom.

(I joke with friends that when the time comes; my Sis will buy Moms "Depends" but I'll be the one changing them!)

Thank goodness Mom is still in the sweet stage of Ahlzheimers and not mean or violent yet.

It's just a matter of keep reminding her to take a bath, dinner is ready, bedtime etc and she is like a little smiling robot.

She loves the "swiffer" so she's swiffering all day long and the floors look really good so that's a positive thing.
