Round and round...

So just when I think I'm going to get myself back on track with my Etsy shop and my blog and all these fun things, well... along comes life. I know, if you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans. Ok, so we ended up having to send my dad to the hospital tonight, via ambulance, which meant a visit to the ER and all that goes along. He was totally out of control, and something had to be done. Long story short, ECMC took good care of him, though it's still confounding to me that it would take six adults and a nurse to put an IV line into a man who is four-point restrained in a hospital bed. You could say he was slightly on edge. Anyway, I had some ideas for things I was going to write about on my blog, but right now I am exhausted and hoping that I can settle enough to fall asleep soon. Oh what a day!

Sorry I've been missing...

To all of you who read my blog, my apologies for being away. I wanted to keep this site mainly about my work, but my life is so intertwined in that, that I find it's nearly impossible. My mom has been having a lot of trouble caring for my father the last few weeks, and so I have been spending a good part of my time over there trying to help out. For anyone who missed the intro, my father has Alzheimer's Disease. Unfortunately, because of the way his brain is breaking down, he's been violent. Now I'm scared of leaving my mom alone with him, because I never know what he's going to do. So, I have tried to focus mainly on taking care of my kids, my health, and helping with my dad. I have managed to get a few new things done for my Etsy store, so please check them out! But most other things (including the cleaning of my house) have fallen by the wayside). Right now we've got him some new medicine, though we had to go a couple rounds with the insurance company because they didn't want to pay for it. Yesterday was his first dose, so I'm praying it'll help calm him down. We will all keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. Thanks to all of you who are hanging in there with me... I know I haven't made a new post in awhile, and I promise I'll try to be better!
