(Dis)Ability Test

The kids are 5 months old today.


Today was a decent day. I went to Walmart and managed to forget most everything I needed and picked up several things I didn't need! Yay me!


Talked to Mom today. She had a meeting with a psychiatrist for her disability application. Apparently part of the process was that she had to trace a deer. She couldn't do it. I'm not sure what that means really. I know there was more to the appointment but she was a little upset and didn't want to get into it with me. I know there were other things she couldn't do. I just don't know what they were. I think the timing of this is unfortunate as today is the birth/death day of my brother as well.

I talked to Sis and Mom cried a little with her. She said that she's afraid she'll never know the kids.

What's so sad is that she's right.
I'm going to call her in the morning and try to get some things worked out for her doctor-wise. I know she won't remember to do them unless I call. I also suggested to her that she use Post-It notes to help her around the house.

She was also upset because Daddy told her not to cook dinner because he went out for lunch. She forgot and cooked a huge dinner for them. She did tell me that she knows she can't drive anywhere else without Daddy in the car. She gets confused too easily. She's fine around town, but anywhere else and she can't handle it.


I've said it before, and I know I'll say it a million more times, but this is just not right. Nothing about this is right. Makes me question so much. My mother is one of the best people I've ever known. It's just not right for this to happen to her.


I think I'll just cut it short and end there. I'm tired and don't feel like thinking anymore.
