It is almost April...

 Still thinking there might be snow in the forecast soon. I cannot explain why I feel this. I just do. Tomorrow is my first day at my new job. It is just orientation and paperwork, but it feels adventurous! I am only an as needed worker, but I am still excited. Many things need to be "settled" around here before I can say yes to full time work outside the home. Realistically there is full time work available in the home. Hugs and kisses won't pay the bills though.

I have not been to see SIL all week, DH has been there each day except today, for about 2 hours. We have been trying to adjust her to time without me. Not sure the adjustment will ever happen. I have been off of work too long to just jump back in full time and think everyone will just be flexible and go with the flow. Tomorrow I will try to stop and see SIL. If not, I'll go early Saturday and show her pictures of the house and figure out what things she would like to keep.

I was really racking my pea-sized brain for what to make for dinner tonight and the oldest kiddo asked for spaghetti. That was perfect! Easy to get started and I could use the ready hamburger mix in it. I have only used one jar of the mix since making it. Last night I used a jar for taco dip, and it was really good! Tonight, the spaghetti was fast and good too!

Well, it is off to bed for me.

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
