Let's try this surgery again...

-

 Last week we were cancelled or bumped or whatever you want to call it from the surgery list. Disappointing to the youngest kiddo but not life-threatening. But we are on for tomorrow at noon. Tonight, they are out with my daughter and her kids seeing the "Big Guy" from the North Pole, that is. I wasn't invited nor was I told where they were going. However, when you are instructed to dress them up and we are taking them out late at night, it kind of adds up to something holiday-ish.

so red flannel for the tween

and shimmery for the younger 

heart shapes to all! 

We had to be at Fort Carson by 0830 for a covid test, so the dogs did not get their leash walk today. Not sure if they will get it tomorrow or not. There will be time but the youngest cannot have anything after midnight tonight and will be quite hungry I am sure, so do I encourage sleeping in? Or do the normal day only without food.

I will keep you posted. I finally got the vacuum cleaner cleaned out and I was able to vacuum the front entry living room tonight. I will go down to the basement in the morning and bring up the tree box. I am still working on the pile of stuff that came out of that room. Plenty of progress has been made, but there is plenty to go still.


When I arrived home from babysitting the youngest grandkids yesterday, the older grandkids surprised me with this photo collage. Of course, I made them stay and help me hang it right away. I thought it was very nice. They are the same kids that took the littles out this evening. I should not call them littles any more as the older one is taller than I am.

our little fashionista 

upside down is the latest style

just ask the youngest 

Hard to believe she is almost three. Time flies. She still isn't liking nursery school, but she is starting to talk and that is good. I do miss her antics she is bonding a bit better with her dad too. She is mama's girl almost exclusively. It is time for me to get up and get more done while the kids are not here. So good night blog.

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
