Sleeping In...not!

Cowboy asleep on Mom's chair

Can I say that I was hoping Mom would sleep in this morning?  Instead she gets up earlier that usual.  Now, I am a morning person, but, I enjoy my morning alone time.  Mom usually gets up around 8:30.  This morning it was around 7:45.  Normally this is fine,  but we have been snowed in for almost a week now with app. 20" of snow, and  Mom was extremely confused yesterday.  She kept looking at me and asking where's Linda? (that's Me).   finally I asked her who I was, and she stared at me for the longest time and finally said, well, you are Linda.   I felt for her, watching the confusion on her face.  How terrible that must be.
We did work on a jig saw puzzle that I had out.  That gave her something to do that took her mind off of everything else for a while.    She actually seemed to enjoy it.  She just wants to feel like she can still do something.  She will fold clothes for Mike, but she won't for Me:)  Of course, she will do about anything for him.  If I can't get her to do something , all I have to do is have Mike talk to her and she will do it.   I don't know what I would do without Mike. 
So, we start a new day and I have princess dresses to finish and "miles to go before I sleep".
