Missy's birthday!
We all stopped by around 8 tonight, a little later than usual. Mom was in good spirits and when I said "Guess who I brought with me?" She recognized each of my children as they walked in... then there was a "Yay! I got it right!" She even guessed correctly that Missy is 18 today.
She was sitting in her rocker, only half dressed...wearing 2 sweatshirts, and no pants. I'm not sure what that was about, but we all had a laugh about it, including Mom. Easy enough to fix. :-) Beyond that, the stories were a little interesting tonight. We heard about how she rescued 4 children and reunited them with their parents, and that she may be receiving reward money for that.
She also seemed confused about it being her apartment again. "Yep, everytime I go out they tell me I can go back to this room. They bring me here, and I say ok, Ill just sit here in this chair"
That's because this is your room, Mom.
"Well for now, but I mean once I go home."
This is home, Mom.
"Oh - really? Are you sure? Who's paying for it?"
Don't worry about that Mom.
That continued for a little while, and she also still doesn't have her glasses. There was another pair of bifocals on the table, but they weren't hers. Actually, they had a man's name I didn't recognize engraved on the inside. We just left them there.
We also snuck in a tiny piece of cake. She was giggly tonight, even dancing a little bit. Very relaxed, and happy to see the kids.
