PostHeaderIcon Grandpa News and P365 Photos

To say it's been a busy week would be an understatement. My Grandfather had some sort of mental breakdown. Medical terminoloy..."altered mental status". He was getting very hard to deal with this past couple of weeks and I had to send my daughter to my ex's to stay until I could figure out what was going on with him. Instead of things calming down with him, his behavior became more erratic and hallucinations more frequent (he was already taking meds for this). The MD he was seeing locally REFUSED to give any help and we ended up taking him to and ER that was not in this town to get him some psychiatric help. Good news is that he is now in a Geriatric Psych Unit getting evaulated and getting his meds sorted. Unfortunately he cannot come back to live with me. I just don't have enough help and it has put a tremendous strain on my husband and daughter and it's just not fair to them. We have already have a Nursing Home picked out for him that has the staff with the proper training and facilities for his special needs. And the good thing is that it is only about 35 minutes from our home.
It's been a beautiful day today. Hubby mowed the yard while I just vegged out in the recliner with the lappy and the tv remote. I have a couple of LO's in progress but can't seem to get into the groove to finish them and I have been too lazy to go grab the rest of my P365 photos off my camera for this posting..so you only get to see through Day 70.
Day 68 pays homage to my hubby's work boots. W/O them he would have a hard time taking care of us.


Day 69
It was a beautiful day and it gave me a chance to play with the manual settings on my camera.
Day 70
Me and my Mama were coming home from leaving my Grandfather at the hospitol and saw this weird tornado type cloud. It was just a weird rain cloud. She took it for me since I was driving.


That's it for now...I really gotta catch up at least on my P365 LO's..esp since I have some really nice P365 Templates I wanna use.
Thanx for peeking in!

PostHeaderIcon Days 61-65 of Project 365

Holy Moly...what an incredibly busy weekend! My Grandfather has went off the deep-end as best as I can describe it so it makes for an unhealthy atmosphere for my DD to be here so I have sent her off to her father's house until I get things resolved with my Grandfather. I went with my mother today to visit a different nursing home facility to see if it was any better than the last one he was in. OMG>>>the difference was night and day. I am so ashamed I even put him in the last one with this one being so drastically nicer. He has to be evaluated before going in, so we put in the call for that. The people who do that will come to our home to do it and if they feel he needs some onsite evaluation they will transport him there for us. When that is done, he can then go to the nursing home of our choosing. He does know that he is leaving here to go live in a nursing home so I don't feel guilty about that part of it. It is always just heartbreaking that a family member can get so far gone that you cannot help them no matter how hard you work at it.
Here are a few more catchup photos for Project 365.
Day 61 was my lunch, chicken quesadilla.

Day 62.
Ultimate Diva...Izzy.
Day 63.

PostHeaderIcon Days 57-60 Project 365

Well it seems like I am playing catchup with my photos this week. I am doing great getting them taken, it's just been a bit hard to get them uploaded to the blog. I actually have all done up and current but I will upload the rest of them tomorrow so as to not make this post so hard to load up.
My goal over the next week is to get my LO's caught up. I got Weeks 1-4 done and I sooo do NOT want to get so far behind that is seems too daunting of a task to do. I want it to be fun and not worrisome.
Day 57 is mini strawberry cupcakes ready to be iced. It has just become a tradition that me and Shaina just bake her birthday goodies..whether it's a cake or cupcakes or as in the case this year....Birthday Fudge.

Day 58 has Shaina not looking so happy...I just think she was tired. We had already spent the day skating and finally got to sit down to enjoy her Birthday Fudge and sing Happy Birthday to her.
Day 59 brings us to some silly girls.
Shaina on the left and Cheyenne on the right.
Day 60 shows that I had to drag the desktop computer into the Living Room. Shaina got caught trying to DL ring tones onto her new phone w/o permission. Lucky I caught her before she activated the text and got charged $9.99 a month...I caught her on her 3rd attempt. =0

Thanx for peeking!

About Me

My Photo
Balinda (RebelChick)
Just an everyday girl trying to find my way in the world to live life fiercely and passionately. I was a signature tagger for several years but art journaling has replaced that passion and it feeds my soul creativiely and spiritually. I also homeschool my DD, scrapbook, play around in photography, spoil my cats and drive my hubby insane on a daily basis. My faith in the Lord helps me juggle all these blessings. I keep this blog because it makes me happy. Sometimes I blog a lot and other times it collects a little dust. Thanks for visiting and being my friend.♥
