Finally Friday

What a crazy week! Several scheduled appointments never made the calendar which made the day "rushed". Skating was fun, Bowling did not happen this week. The kids are already bored, too funny! Well, not really as that makes cooperation for anything else less likely. Today is the orthodontist in about an hour. Yesterday was an appointment with the stucco guy for an estimate on the Leotie Street house. We had one done when we bought it but that one is expired. Today is foggy and cold.

Yesterday, I had planned to go get SIL's meds from the pharmacy right after the stucco estimate, spend some time visiting and return home by noon. Meds were not ready. No store had milk. I debated on my options and decided to go visit anyway and see what she was low on. It turned into a 3.5 hour visit with me discovering things going on that I'd rather not know about. That said she is remaining in care until a better option can be located.

We are back from the orthodontist and all reports are good! The grand child and the youngest are sparring, it is not fun for me. Lunch is served and it has warmed up enough in the kiddos minds to go in the pool... so be it. It gives me 15 minutes to do something before frostbite sets in and ruins the moment. Not only that it builds character and drive so when they are older, they might pursue admission to the "polar bear" club. It also will teach them strength to fight their health insurance for the cost of any hospitalizations for pneumonia cases they develop from joining this elite club.

Pool time is over due to thunder and lightning. Hot chicken noodle soup is requested. Frostbite was not achieved. Not much was accomplished today, lack of sleep won, and I took a 20-minute nap while the chicken for the soup cooked. I really like the pressure cooker for these kinds of requests.




Yesterday while looking for milk, I had to run to the bathroom, and this is where this mini-Walmart keeps their school supplies. Leaving the restroom I took pictures, why you might ask? These are "rollback" prices. These are higher than last year's prices I thought I might compare them to the "back to school" prices that should come out within a month. Should be interesting.

I shall close for today and get ready to take the grand kid back home.

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
