Hoarding, murder and memory trees...somehow none of that seems to connect

-
Good morning! Here's to hoping for another beautiful day, only warmer.  Someday I will a book. It will be titled "murder at the medallion"  I was finishing my last day off when I received a text message warning me that one of our resident's little dog had been killed by another dog while on a walk around our building, also that the other dog was on the loose. The owner had been found and arrested on unrelated charges. The dog that was killed belong to a beautiful woman who just lost her husband in September and she had been feeling quite under the weather, so her daughter had taken the dog out for her when he was so viciously attacked.  We were all very thankful that she had not been there when the event took place. But with all the sadness going on in the world the last thing we needed was a tragedy for our residents. Bj belong to an independent couple but he regularly visited anyone and everyone he could.  Bj was a miniature Schneider, a picture perfect version. He guarded his "mama" with a fierceness that would rival a lion. His "papa" is probably playing with him in heaven as I write.
We have a memory tree here and someone put an ornament up for him....His "papa" has one too but privacy issues require that I not disclose that. I think the porcelain hearts are so very elegant for the purpose they are being used for....I think I would like to do something similar at home.

I read a couple of other blogs when I get time....so maybe once a week. One is blissful and domestic...at least I think that is what it's called. She has plenty of fun information on there and a lot of cool recipes. Also the peaceful mom is a good blog I am still exploring that one... there is another one that I enjoy too.... well I can't think of it right now but I do enjoy wondering how they do it...blog full time and have kids...but the last blog explained it some what, she has guest writers and such, I think that it's amazing....

What did we mom's do when there was no internet? I personally chased kids around the house and went to the library... or out to my mom's for information.

This week should be transforming for me...I plan to clean out my closet. Scary proposition but as suggested a less cluttered environment will bring a bit of peace so I am going to try...confessions of a hoarder...
And turns out I have no pictures of my closet on this device so you will have to take my word for it

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
