Barely get to shower, no going out, shopping is like once a month if we are lucky to do that, doesn't matter if i get sick, life just keeps going. Trust me i know what you are going through. The outdoors is really nice!!! We often go in lock down in the afternoon, due to alzheimers. We are up late at night....and still get up during the night for potty time. Lately has been alot of bed and clothes changing. I did have bad anger problems, it makes things worse on mom too. So i try to just have a straight face about things. It took me having a nervous breakdown to just add humor and sometimes coldness. I lock all doors in our living room, put up barriers in our open doorway. (child gate, curtain, tied with a shoe string) Anything to hide and lock up the place. I let her walk walk and walk all she wants and later clean up after her. As long as she is not hurting herself...why not. I just let it go and watch tv, or work on computer. It gets better! Hang in there and let me hear from you sometime. HUGGS and take care. Remember God loves you! Joyce meyers book of 365 devotions helped me through alot of hard times. Myra
