Grand total of 3 days!!

Such a busy weekend, didn't have time to blog. Woke up Friday and made Eggs Benedict for lunch then the physical therapists came to see the great grands the afternoon. Went to the bank to get change for the club, then to Kroger for their big meat sale. Made dinner, took a nap and then off to work

Saturday Mama finally got over being mad at me and life was back to normal. Great grandfather won't answer the phone, so he missed the call telling him that poker with the seniors was moved to noon and by the time I got up and checked the machine he had missed his game. Served leftovers for lunch and then Lee and I went to El Fenix (his favorite restaurant) for an early dinner. Came home, took a nap and then off to work again.

Got up early Sunday, after only 6 hours sleep, and made a giant roasting pan of soup to take to the club so they would have something to eat during the game. Took the soup to drop off @ 1:00 and presided over a scheduled staff meeting. Got home just in time to see the Cowboys loose their game...oh well!! Spent the rest of the day getting the house ready for the Red Hats luncheon that will be here on Thursday Did some things in Mama's room, cleaned the patio and hung some more pictures in the house. Worked 'till 11:oopm and then died in my chair.

Up this morning and found out the physical therapists was coming again. Then a supervisor came to reevaluate both greats and the grandfather. She told the Great grandfather he is not making any progress since he won't do the work except when they are her. Recertified him for 1 more month with threats to discontinue service unless he gets in gear. She told him at the rate he is going he will become a burden to everyone, won't be able to get our of bed by himself, or go to the bathroom alone. His leg will rot off. I sure hope he takes her talk to heart or he will end up in a nursing home. I told all the grands before we moved that at the point they couldn't wipe their own bottom or change their own diapers that we would have no choice but to place them somewhere else....and I wasn't kidding!! I have ordered a new exercise machine that work by vibrating, hope he will use it and that it actually does what they say it will, I'll let you know.

Took the female grands with me to run errands this afternoon and then Lee and I went to Pappadeaux for date night. When we came home I fell asleep in my chair for 2 hours. Taking care of 4 grands is rewarding, but alot of work. It's now 4:00 am and I'm finally ready to call it a day....good night!!
