M is for Mom, Mother, Mama . . .

I do love my Mama.  However, she is very stressful lately.  Some of it is definitely just her health.  She has always had low blood pressure and being that it is really low, she is supposed to take Fludrocortizone (the brand name is Florinef).  She doesn't take this all the time like she should.  That makes it really bad because she is so dizzy that she falls.

She also takes Paxil (or whatever the generic brand is).  One of the side effects is dizziness.  This doesn't help.

Then, she also takes some type of medicine like Detrol L.A.

She is not very neat or nice with her, um, bodily functions, these days.  We make sure she wears the store brand depends.  She calls them her "unders," but honestly, when she kept having problems that made it so we constantly had to clean the floors, I knew she needed "diapers."

She raised me, or for those who are so picky and say that you raise farm animals and rear human children, she reared me.  Obviously, I turned out as a good person.  However, I don't think I would have been as neat as I am (and I'm not great at being neat, but I'm not as messy as my mom - or my sister) if it weren't for my Daddy.

Right now, my Mama is in her room.  However, we want to get that room switched with what is currently my room.  This is difficult for three girls to do on their own.  I also need money to get direct connections to electricity, the internet, and the phone where I need them.  That room is not set up well.

This room, however, is easily set up for her.  We just need to switch a couple of beds and a my desk with her dresser.   Of course, the rooms also need to be clean.  I haven't forgotten this.

However, it seems like my mom and sister have forgotten this fact.

If you love your mother and want to celebrate a unique mother's day, why won't you do that by giving her the day off?
