Does caring for another person ever get easier?

Hi there. I am happy to find this site. I recently started caring for my mom, she has alzheimers. There is so much to do. How does a person keep up? I stopped going to school for a year, but it is time to get back. I work part-time as a substitute teacher, married and have 3 young children of my own. I just moved her (my mom) from California to Texas a month ago. She is staying in an apartment across the street from my house. This way she can still live on her own and I can keep an eye on her. I am never sure when to check on her. I have not found the correct timing thing yet. Sometimes I am with her so much, I get nothing accomplished at home!  If I declare it a home day to get something done, I feel guilty for not spending the day with her and wondering every minute if she is all right? It seems like I am always a few chores behind! Bills,food, laundry to name a few for two households is hard to get done. Does it get easier?? I do not see how? I have contacted my local chapter, I start in a support group next week. I will also find out about adult daycare then. Any tips somebody has will be happily tried.

Thank-you for your reply. I am going to check into getting a POA today. I manage her money so I can pay her bills for her. I'm still triing to get her moved into her apartment!! Got to get going now.
