We have had a very slow start to the day today. My mom was up most of the night and very restless. She paces the floors when she gets like this. At one point she sat down in the den not knowing it was the wee hours of the morning. I checked on her and she said she thought she would go back to bed. I told her that sounded like a good idea. This was about 4 am.
Hubby and I had a late breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. I tried to wake up mom but she was out of it being up all night. I finally got her up an hour later at noon. She opted for the blackberry coffee cake for breakfast along with her toast.
Hubby and I will be working outside today and try to get the garden area tilled and ready for planting. It's a bit late for this area, but better late than never. I haven't had a garden since 2011. I enjoyed it very much then and look forward to having a garden again.
That's all for now. I'll be checking back in later today. How was your morning?

The kids and I are going to do some landscaping and yard work tomorrow morning. We've picked out some nice plants we want to plant, and so we'll spend some time sprucing up my front yard a bit. It will be nice to enjoy a day outside. I hope you have a fun time working in your garden.

@moffittjc Today was a little slow since everyone was dragging but there is always tomorrow and I can finish the hills up and plant! I also want to get the watermelon planted in another area, back where the pumpkins are planted. I can do all of that tomorrow.

@wolfgirl569 Today was a no cooking day and when I asked her what she wanted to eat tonight and gave her a choice of ham sandwich, grilled cheese sandwich or some soup or both she finally chose a ham and cheese sandwich. She shook her head and said she didn't want a sandwich with just cheese. Then she remarked that it was getting dark outside. I said yes, it's time to eat supper. She then said, "I thought it was morning time." It's getting interesting here and you never know what she is going to say. I only thought that she was going to be hard to get to bed tonight with thinking it was morning, but after her meds she got sleepy.

Yep and the battle is on to keep her awake today. Hard to do when I want to be outside! I'm getting tired anyway. Went out for about an hour and came in to grab a bite to eat. I'll go back out for a short time. I need to get the hills formed in the garden. It's getting close!

@kareng For me it was a losing battle with dad. Hope you can do it so she sleeps tonight.

I had a restless night myself, but I always do since I sleep so poorly at night. Hopefully she can get better rest tonight!
