Old friends, new friends and delusions...

-
So it is probably best to start with the delusions part of this title.  I purchased this iPad with great hopes of learning something new. And I did after 3 days of not being able to turn the thing on I texted a friend and she explained that the round circle at the bottom of the screen is not the on/off button. It is a tiny little button on the edge of the device at the opposite end of the screen from the circle. There $800 and I did learn something new :)

 It is true that I have not started studying much in my second job area but the first area and family have kept me busy these past few months... that and being unable to access this blog have kept me from posting too. We have had a fun month from Thanksgiving dinner to tattoo lollipops and Christmas lights around town.  It's been busy, exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time.
Because every one needs a hero!

And if the tree topples over she can't pin it on just one of us!

Pinky pie tattoo on our tongues

What a lovely shade of blue!

Just why is it that I don't get turkey?

December always takes me back to my past and there is always one birthday i remember but I have lost touch with old friends and the only thing I can do is wish silent "Happy Bithday" to one whose special day I remember.

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
