Murphy’s Law Has Nothing On Gladys
I am a planner and organizer. During my career I’ve planned events for universities and a Fortune 500 company. I plan events for our business, I plan events for my church and I plan events for friends and relatives. I even completed the Event Planners Certificate Program at Kennesaw State University. I’ve been planning meetings, conferences and training sessions for over 25 years. But, all of my experience and training is no match for Gladys.
I am a big fan of the Fox Network show, 24 and it’s star, Jack Bauer. It airs Monday nights at 9:00 PM. I’ve been watching the show since its first season and I don’t answer the phone while 24 is on. So, last night I went downstairs at 8:00 to get Gladys ready for bed. I helped her put on her gown, put her teeth in the soaking solution, pulled back her covers and watched her go to the bathroom. It’s 8:40 and all is well.
OK, I thought, I can watch 24 without interruption. It’s 9:00, 24 is showing what happened during the previous episode. Now this week’s episode begins and then I hear it, *NICHOLE! And I say to myself, “How does she do that?”
Such is life for a family caregiver. Murphy’s Law has nothing on Gladys. 
(*Gladys calls me by my daughter’s name).
