Exhaustion...

Jesse and his siblings spent the day discussing options with their dad. They were able to take his keys away and lock the vehicles in the shed so he will not be driving anymore. He wasn't too happy about anything that was going on. So far he is going to be able to stay in the house and hire someone to help him part-time. Jesse and Deb will stop morning (Jesse) and evening (Deb) to give him his meds. Truthfully, I don't know how long this arrangement will last. We are taking him to his church tomorrow and then for lunch. Jesse was so beat when he came home. He rested for awhile and then we decided to take the kids bowling. Everyone had a great time. Garrett loves to bowl and does a victory dance after each set. His ball was bubblegum pink (the lightest one) and he looked so cute in his fancy bowling shoes. The kids had soda and are still up, so that is why I am still up, lol. Taking care of Jim really brings home the lesson of turning the other cheek and loving your "enemy". Why I refer to him as that is a long story. It is easy to love someone who is good to you but to help and love someone who has done great evil to you is all up to the Holy Spirit. Jesse is a good example and trying really hard to do what is right for his father.
