Monday: I worked in my classroom for the entire day ( my sis Linda helped me...thanks!!!!) For lunch, we ate at the sandwich shoppe with my sis Sylvia and my niece Amy. Then we headed back to the classroom to work some more. Unfortunately, we lost track of time so we rushed to the university for belly dance practice when we realized how late it was!
TUESDAY: I met my personal trainer for my workout session. Afterwards, I exercised for another hour. Then I visited Mom for awhile before heading back to the school to work some more on my classroom.
WEDNESDAY: I made the morning workout (late but I got there before the class began!!!) I visited Mom, and I went a tad off when I found her squished in her chair despite the fact that I had applied yards and yards of tape on the rungs of the chair. I got the chair adjusted for Mom before she headed to therapy. Then I voiced my disgust with the social worker, a janitor, and the CNA. Basically, I told them that I was going to apply more tape to the chair's legs and if anyone surpassed the rungs on the adjustment to make my Mom's legs stiff, I was going to buy two rolls of Duct tape and then that would be the end of their ignorance. The social worker felt awful about the CNA's incompetence and printed out a few signs to stop this occurence from happening again. I just wish that the staff at this place would provide the residents at this facility proper care and attention that they need. :(
It was a stressful day to say the least and I was crying like a lunatic in Mom's bathroom because I want her back home, where I know that she'll be safe and comfortable. I just wish that I had the means to do so.
I came to work and stayed for two hours before we were told that they were going to close the school grounds two hours earlier. NOT A GOOD THING WHEN I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO but I wouldn't change the amount of time I spent with Mom today.
THURSDAY: I attended morning gym class, visited Mom, and went to school to get some more cleaning done.
FRIDAY: I was not a happy camper today since I knew that it was my last day of FREEDOM. I cleaned the bathroom in the morning and then headed to the cinema. I watched "The Time Traveler's Wife", which was as wonderful as the novel! I cried my heart out though---emotional film it is! I then went to visit Mom and spent time with her before it was dinnertime. Then I helped her with her dinner before I drove back home. Once I arrived home, Leigh and I decided to go out for dinner.
SATURDAY: Nothing special to note (other than going out for dinner today.)
SUNDAY: Nothing special done today (as I am in a down mood since I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.)
