Week 40 is half over

-

 Well, here it is, Tuesday, probably the most un-notorious day of the week. In my last post I mentioned several things that the weekend brought, but I did not mention our end of spring break outing to Focus on the Family. I have been taking the kids there for years as part of just our normal routine. However, since the pandemic, our house burning down, moving three times and life in general we had not been in at least two years, maybe three.

We arrived a little bit later than I had wanted to because of all the things that had to be done before we could actually go. The day started with DH planning to go to Men's Breakfast at the church. He did not go because our dentist, number 6, had made him an appointment for 0730. That left me to return SIL's room key to her. Somehow in all the fun on Friday, we kept her key ring. It wasn't terribly important as the staff can let her into her apartment, but her med binder, that we use, and they, actually use it too, was locked in her file cabinet. Luckily, the head nurse was there and was able to print up an extra sheet for her to use until we could get her keys back to her.

Sadly, she did not fully cooperate with the giving of the pills that first night. With a phone call I was able to talk her through the process. The plan was to have her keys to her before morning. Didn't happen. The kids and I left for the trip over to SIL's, on the way we had a math lesson, we stopped to get donuts and drinks and the kids had to do the transaction. We purchased muffins for SIL to share and dropped them off to the person on duty. Our next task was to go take care of the cat that angry pees. A side trip to the store for milk and dog food and we were on our way home. 

By the time we got the milk home and headed to our planned destination it was after 1pm. We went anyway and had lots of fun. It was the first time that I was able to do the 3-story slide. I screamed like a baby and will probably never do it again, but it was fun. Lots of memories in that place!













We did more that day, but I didn't catch on my phone. I'll share more of the weekend in another post, someday!

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
