No title

Huh.

Well.....it turns out my mother's homecare worker has been bilking money out of her by having her sign checks every few days.  One for $200 on the 14th....another $200 the next day......all in all tripling her normal amount of pay for the last month.  My mother's short term memory is pretty much shot and she loves this woman.  In the scheme of things it's not the hugest amount of money but well, uh.....I gotta say I'm pretty heartbroken.  Heartbroken.

I've spoken to her and she is returning the checkbook and all the credit cards she has as well as the house key.  I told her she has an hour to do so or her I will take this further.  I also told her I did not want her discussing this with my mother.

You know, despite all this, I don't doubt that she does love my mother....and my mother loves her so I am not telling her to get gone and I never want to see your face again.  I'm going to think about it over the weekend and figure out what I would like her to do----which is basically visit my mother----and what I'll pay her.

Of course this totally shoots my mother's idea of moving home at some point.

My whole body feels like it's in a knot and I feel sick to my stomach.
