Where is my stuff?????

Last weekend was my mother's grandson's wedding. The 2nd one. He had gotten married at the courthouse in July. This was a wedding for the " family. " .. After stewing for weeks the saturday before the wedding arrived. Mother wanted me to do her hair, her nails and she wanted to get a new jacket. Just one particular jacket. She never shops anymore, she doesn't walk well enough, won't get a wheelchair and refuses to use her walker inside the stores. We got the jacket, she even purchased a new necklace, and the almost 15 year old got a new dress. Home to do hair. " if you make me look stupid I'm going to change it," I've been doing her hair for special events for 6 years now. She likes the hair.. Okay mother... Nails next, lovely color but " why does it take so long? " I have things I have to do... and ends up sitting in the chair for 3 hours after they have dried. So the evening comes, she is getting things in order. Comes into the den and in a panic says ... " I CANNOT FIND MY PANTS," okay I'm coming.. next I hear, " I CANNOT FIND MY MONEY, I USED IT TODAY AND HAVE TO REPLACE IT FOR THE TRIP," okay I'm coming mother. Next yes you guessed it... " I CANNOT FIND MY WALLET OR MY DIAMOND RING," ...
Found it all. The pants were on the hanger on the door knob behind the new jacket, the wallet was on a night table, and the money was tucked away in the shoe holder on the door where it was hidden last. The diamond ring was in the jewels on the vanity table top where it lives. All was calm...
Next morning we get up to go to the wedding.. 166 miles away.. She's been up since 3 am well you can sleep in the car. NO WAY I have to pay attention to the road. We get to the wedding, realizing all the fluffing, polishing, and new jacket was for moot, we were in redneck hell.
Dementia has a way of making you lose things in plain sight, this is a daily occurance for us, and stress causes it to be worse. But it was amusing for her the next day and she did laugh at the lost pants.
I love her.
