Anywhere between 5-8am: Mother gets up and goes down to the couch to sit and take care of the dog. After convincing her that I will stay down and watch her she goes back to bed.
1030-1pm (1pm is a big stretch but now that its getting into the winter its becoming Mother's hibernation period where she literally stays in her room sleeping for 18 hrs a day): Mother comes down to the couch and assumes her position right next to Max and her crack, Pepsi. The tv is never off and is always on a channel that she likes. She is a big fan of NCIS, Bones, CSI, shows like this. Although recently she told us she like alligators. Now, when I saw this she didnt actually say those words she pointed to them on the tv and we filled in the blanks and she says yes. Because of her new found alligator obsession she likes to watch Swamp People too.
1pm-10pm: Mother watches her shows, drinks pepsi, sleeps on the couch, eats lots of Little Debbie snacks and creepily stares out the window. Also during this time she randomly will tell you a story, well parts of stories, remember you have to fill in a lot of blanks and the stories usually well always end up being something that she made up. Yes, Dementia has made my sweet ol' momma into a liar. haha, they are very strange lies too. Like the one about the neighbors not liking her or her talking to the neighbors...what a gooney bird.
10pm: Around this time mother usually says, "I'm going up" which means that she is going to bed.
11pm: Now, this used to be an exact thing but now it varies but she usually comes back down for some reason. It could be the dog, she thinks someone is here, she thinks something is wrong with one of us, you never really know her reasoning, clearly. So, she'll either stay down with us or if its late we'll do some convincing which is NOT hard at all.
And then the cycle repeats itself...
