The un-break up

-

 Last weekend we finally were able to trim 90% of the matting off of the one dog. He looks good with the amount of fur we took off. There is more to do. We have thought it should be every two weeks until it is done completely. Let's see how that works out.

In the title of the previous post, I mentioned a "break-up". I had been informed by a reliable source that the tweens had parted ways. However, I'm not sure my source was informed on any "special" circumstances. The next day the mom asked if the boy could come visit after school. So, I asked the girls if that was okay. They were fine with it. So, I am thinking it isn't a real break up just a special one. That is all I know.

It is the weekend not just any weekend. It is Mother's Day weekend, and it is not a holiday that I have ever made a big deal about. I do not know why, it just isn't. In fact, I avoid church on this weekend as they make the mothers stand and get attention. I do not like that. For this day I have decided to try and organize the kitchen and living room at the same time. I won't get either completely done but I might make a dent. In the meantime, I made brownies for the family.

after this pic she got nervous and went inside

Yesterday I broke up a fight between 6 chickens and 1 turkey. It was an unfair fight. Chickens are grounded. Also, the ducks are way ahead on egg production.

Look how big they are getting! 2 weeks 3 days

Well, that is it for today!
Happy Mother's Day to those who celebrate!

More adventures of the lazy and the demented

 Every day brings new challenges. Especially if I think I have it all under control. This week brought my oldest granddaughter joining the Air Force. She did tell me she was going to do it. I did encourage it. But others were told that she was leaving for college. So gullible me thought it was still college. Looking back many, many years I realized everyone else except her parents and me, were acting like my mother when I announced I was going to follow my then boyfriend into the service. Negativity with all capital letters, you are too weak, you will never succeed, you cannot handle it, and so on. In retrospect I am honored that she trusted me enough to confide in me. As I type this, I watch someone who is much too old to eat kernels of corn with her fingers do just that. Shower will happen after dinner, as it is a messy one tonight and a shower is needed regardless. Dementia is something I thought I understood fairly well, that is until it moved in. I try to celebrate the little ...

It has been another "where am I going and why am I in this handbasket" kind of week

Another 14+ hour day and in the end I still wasn't done with all that needed to be done. On the other hand when I got home my incubator had arrived!! So I've read the instructions twice, they really should spring for a proofreader before printing these instructions. They seem easy enough to follow even when written in broken English however, it is way too late to go out to the henhouse and steal eggs. And tomorrow is scheduled to be a very early day so maybe after work might be a good time... we shall see.  The best laid plans of mice and men have often found me still at work way past the bewitching hour. DH found time today to use the workbooks the girls have so some progress was made even if it was minimal. At times when it is my turn I get the same result. I am so tired I am pretty sure I am going to crash soon and hope for a better morning tomorrow.  I need to be there early enough to get something done before it all goes into the handbasket again. And my phone is not he...

 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 ...
