Never before have I started a topic of the day. Have been cutting out Barbie Doll Clothes for my granddaughter who will be five years old in three weeks.
As usual I'll be up by 6:00 AM so that I can spend time with my DH before he leaves for work. I'll then take care of the usual AM tasks and then take my grandson to school because he has seven blocks to walk and it's going to be cold outside. Like minus double-digits cold!
The rest of my day will be spent washing and clipping my shih-zu; making caramel sauce (for dipping apples); making homemade maple syrup; writing a letter to my sweet great niece; watering and fertilizing the indoor plants at church; walking my dogs; preparing a new pork chop recipe for supper; and of course, sewing on the Barbie Doll Clothes.
Is it obvious that the AP Therapy (modified but very effective) has given me my life back?
Well, it's time for bed. Good Night
I am going to watch my kitty and her poo... and watch my son make the house a mess. Then I am going to watch my daughter clean up the messed up livingroom when she gets home from school after her homework is done. Then I am going to help make chicken lasagna. And then I am going to watch me eat all the chicken lasagna.
This can go on and on for me... LOL. All I got to do is copy and paste because I mainly do the samething every morning and night, until hubby gets home.
But one thing that will be consitant is me keeping warm
Have a great day everyone.
My day sounds kind of dull comparetivly, but here goes. Got up at 5 got my daughter off to school. Today is my day off so I went back to sleep till 930. Got up, did some of the house work that needs doing for today and now I'm awaiting my daughter, she only has half day because it's exam week. She is bringing her friend home with her and they they will join with some other friends and go out for lunch. After they leave I will hit the treadmill for about an hour, shower up and then head off to get my drug test. I will start volunteering for hospice after orientation classes are complete and this is a requirement. After that, I'll probably hit up Subway because my husband won't be home tonight so that will be dinner for my daughter and I. In the evening I don't know what I'll be doing, hanging around here with my girl, helping her study, and we usually play a few games of Mancala. She almost always wins. Then bed as close to 11 as I can make it.At noon I'm going to the hairdresser for a wash and trim. I'm taking the baby for a consultation because his tight tight long ringlets are getting very loose and very long and in his eyes. I want her to look at him and plan how to cut his hair.. even though I hate the idea.. but the weight of his hair is straightening it.
I'm also washing the walls in the upstairs hall. they are beyond filthy. I work for 5 minutes with a majic eraser then rest for 15 minutes.
I'm going out for lunch after hairdresser.
I'm going to go to vocational rehab for 2 hours of Myers Briggs testing, then*hugs Lindy* I'm so sorry hun.
I'm at work and it's slooooooowww. I have a new book to read. Actually, a series! The Looking Glass Wars. (can you guess what it's about??? LOL) So I've got that.
Otherwise, it's pretty freakin boring around here!
I'm trying to catch up on stuff, and I have to go to Bingo and a neighborhood watch meeting this evening. I was out of town visiting my brother for several days. My brother is dying of end-stage liver disease from 30+ years of drinking. He just had his gallbladder out, is having lots of complications (like fluid spurting 10" out of the surgical incision sites from the laparoscopic gallbladder removal) and will have to have a couple more procedures done in the next few days. The family appointed me to talk with his doctors and help plan the next course of action. I'll be leaving again in a couple days to get him through the next round of treatments/etc and also to provide some relief to his girlfriend, who is at her wit's end. My brother is not an easy guy to live with when he is healthy and buzzed... so you can imagine how much of a crab-ass he is when he's knocking on death's door and fighting his first bout with sobriety in several years. Wow Jas.....I'm really sorry to hear that. Poor guy. How old is he?Jas, Im sorry to hear about your brother.
As for me, the rest of today I am going to stay warm!!! It's soposed to get down to -30 tonight!!!!!
Hmmm today was not the greatest of days. Danielle is flaring so I have been keeping an eye on her. Did a little housework. Took a nap. Danny is up for his "day" now and he is going to cook since I can't do home made pizza because of my hands. Arielle is going out to shovel. I am FINALLY going to get a shower lol. I forgot to get my clothes out of my room before Danny went to bed this morning lol. I didn't want to go in there and turn on the light while he is sleeping lol. He tends to get a bit grumpy if I do that lol. Danielle has taken up a lot of my time today as this flare is pretty rotten. She has had to have a couple of pain pills. She hasn't asked for pain meds in a long time. She also has a fever with this flare so I am keeping my eye on that. So it is quiet activities for her. Played some games on the satellite with her. Talked a whole bunch together about stuff that matters to a 13 year old girl lol. Arielle had exams today and we all hope she did well on them. She is feeling pretty good despite the weather. Danielle and I are just down for the count with it. Bleargh. Now it is time to help with dinner. I can't do it all since it is home made pizza but I can help a little with it. Tonight will be a quiet night. Maybe play my Sopranos game I got for Christmas. Then Danny goes to work and us girls head off to bed! That was me day today!
Jazzy love, sorry to hear of your brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Much thoughts.
That's so sad Jas. One of my sons has a friend like that. He's still in his early 20's but alcohol seems to have a strong grip on him. He's just kind of drifting. I've known him since he was a boy and it's heartbreaking. That's the trouble (one of the trouble's) with kids and alcohol/drugs. It's a crap shoot, ya never know who won't be able to stop. What starts out as kids being stupid can wind up as a life long commitment to self destruction.
Wow that is VERY sad Jas. I bet its hard to see him like that. Are your kids ever around him? Is he in the area? [QUOTE=Linncn]

Yea, my family is pretty whacked. My sister and I are the oddballs... I rebelled by going to college and becoming a church-going, happily-married technogeek mom, and my sister rebelled by becoming a happily-married, stay-at-home minivan-driving soccer mom. My mom still makes fun of my sister and me for being "different".
