Going back to say.... 2015

 I was racking my brain the last two days on when we went down the path to using Family Cloth for the first time. That isn't why there hasn't been a post until today but that is a story for another day. I have sorted my flannel stash and I am about ready to make some more wipes just to have on hand for emergencies.

Several times this week I thought oh yes today I will sew. Now my thoughts are clean the kitchen and the laundry room as therapy comes tomorrow and the goal is to have DH go up and down the basement steps. I am quite sure he can do it without any trouble. However the laundry room is mine. I am the only one who goes in there so I don't have it tidied every day; in fact rarely is it tidy any more.

You see since my daughter is going to California instead of me, I get the grandchild that does not like the Gramma. So nothing is tidy here. But I will stay up late tonight and clean the laundry room and the kitchen. I will also get things ready for tomorrow that I missed today and was unable to do with her underfoot.

Back to 2015, that is the year we tried lots of things, we being my daughter and I. We dropped off using the Family Wipes when we were pretty much out of the diaper stage. Sounds weird when I say that but it just kind of fell by the wayside. Then the house burning down didn't help. I just haven't had the time to make any more of them or energy for that matter. 

This next week I will see what I can add to my platter of "to do's". For now I will just try to relax and not be so overwhelmed by demands of the life I live.

She really does not like the gramma
So hard to believe this is the same kid as this one below

Tomorrow is a new day... maybe it will be the break-through day!

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
