A new month on the way...

-

 And a new closet to clean for the end of the current month. We are still ISO a missing pink piggie. I took on the closet this afternoon, I was sure we would find it in there. We found mommy pig, but not THE pig. Oh well the closet needed to be cleaned regardless. I know there are many things that need my attention regardless, but the pig is missing! I am glad we found mommy pig as the littlest grand, asks every time she comes over, "find mommy pig?" I can finally answer yes! Although I am not sure where Peppa and Daddy pig went in the meantime. I know George pig is gone, victim of some couch eating dogs. As an amputee I think I tossed him. 

I knew she would put stuff back in there 

At least some of made it into a bin

Good news and sad news. Beside finding mommy pig, we also found two more Peppas and two of the friends. Sad news is we still have not found THE pig. Two large trash bags of broken toys are now in the trash and there are only three more containers of stuff to sort through. 60% of which will be donated as it is no longer "loved" by the current caretaker. I know it sounds like a lot of toys, because it is! I am sorting into bins by type. Barbie has a bin, and small animal and lol dolls have a bin, and baby doll clothes have a basket... so far. Stuffed toys and horses are another story all together!

Great news! THE pig has been found and an added bonus, the closet is clean! The balance the evening was spent sorting broken toys, outgrown toys, and keepers. the keepers needed to be sorted also. My back was done so it was good that she found her pig. I don't normally have a bothersome back, but I have been moving all sorts of stuff today so not surprising. 

THE PIG!! 

With that task done I can move on to moving the last part of the bunkbed out of her room and she can begin to sleep solo. I will move back into my room and plan my next declutter task. For now, I will sit and sip a warm drink and wait for the sun to rise. The dogs have been let out for the morning and the doggie door is in place. The rest of the house will rise soon, and chaos will ensue.

 Sometimes when you think you have it all under control you realize you were wrong. Today the replacement bed for SIL was delivered. Any other day the whole household would have been up and about. Not today though, it is like they knew the delivery would be very early. Luckily the guys that dropped it off had it assembled and ready to go. They brought it through the front door and set it on its side in the living room. Of course, when DH got up, he insisted that I let him move it around and move the other bed out of her room all the good stuff. He also decided that he had to go somewhere.  The beds have been moved and all is where it should be, sort of. DH is still out somewhere. I bought her a new mattress and when I was calculating the height for her, I decided a 6-inch mattress might be best. Now that I have taken it out of the package it has to expand for 3 days. It may end up being too short or uncomfortable. I placed it on my bedframe to give it time to expand and left my mattres

It's the last Monday!

It is the last Monday that I have to get up and go to this particular job and I overslept. Good thing my boss doesn't keep too many tabs on me. I'll be there by 0800 I suppose. Should go earlier as I have lots to do. Three days isn't much to get 39 care plans updated, and go through to make sure charts have what they need for state. Good thing he doesn't check his mailbox very often either. Otherwise he would have found my resignation letter 3 weeks ago, almost 4 now. It's all good.  I can feel the anxiety building in me knowing I am two days away from "unemployed". I did get some really good news! The grape-vine is saying that my replacement has been named and it is a nurse I absolutely adore! She will be an excellent leader! So for once I hope the grape-vine is right!!! It would make the transition so much better for the residents and the staff that remains. Dh wasn't answering his phone today so I left work to go get the kids from school and w

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
