Your community probably has programs to help with appointments and such. I know that our Senior Citizen's program has a van that will take older people to their appointments and to the grocery store. You just have to schedule your appointments with them. It could help take some of the pressure off of you to always be the one to drive her around.

Also, I'm sure that your spunky Mother drove herself to church this morning!!!!! And you'll be JUST like her, Janet!!!!!

Yes we have a wonderful senior citizens group here. They do all kinds of things...to tell you the truth, as soon as I turn 55 I'm heading up there. I've suggested it a hundred times to Mom to go there. You can dance, play cards, bowl just about anything you want...take trips....but you know what she tells me????? All the people at the senior citizens center are too old....LOLOLOL:D

She told us in another thread where she gets the little pics and emoticons, but I forgot. Tink can you remind us???

I go into photobucket and do searches for whatever it is I want to illustrate.
I have no clue who that woman is, but I HAVE seen my mother use that gesture. LOL

So Janet's not the only one with a spunky Mother!!!!

I love your Mom Janet! She's got a lot of living to do - don't stand in her way!

My Mom, would have just said the word and skipped the finger gesture!

OMG! Did she make it to church safely?

CL, to answer your question, IMO.......its called TOUGH LOVE!!! Once they become a menace to scociety and themselves! Its time!

Hey, you never did tell us if she drove to church. I'm glad that you brought this back up Coyote!!! I know that she did but I need you to confirm it!!!! LOL

Yes, the little booger drove to church. When she gets home.....SHE'S GROUNDED!!!! LOLOL

LOLLOLLOL!!!! I knew it!!!! You gotta' love her spunk!!! If it were my Mom I'm not sure what she'd do. She doesn't show spunk like your Mom does! I've got enough sas for me AND my Mom!!!!

When I asked her if she drove, she asked "what difference does it make?" I told her that if she got caught she could have lost her license for good and she said "I needed to go to church." I just told her that when she came home she was grounded and she just laughed.

Too Funny, she sounds like a little firecracker!! I love it, what a little cutie.
Janet, they say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." :)
