Another Loss In Our Lives

I know it has been a while but I have been very busy and part of it has left this world to join her son in the arms of the Lord.

Since December 2009 my mother in law Lois Hills has been in the hospital and on Saturday she closed her eyes for the last time on this earth and passed into another. So this week it has been a week of going here and there to help out with things for Thursday afternoon.

Today dad went to the dentist and got 3 teeth pulled out and I am feeling very guilty at the moment that I didn't call tonight to see how he was doing but getting photos scanned and then spending more time up at the H ills's getting things ready for Thursday actually took a little more time then I thought. Then I actually helped Matthew write something for Thursday as well and here is after midnight and I am still up and writing... First thing tomorrow morning when I get up I will be calling to find out how things are going with dad because I am sure that I am not going to get up there tomorrow.... I am promising myself that Friday will be my day off today but I am not actually counting on it... because looking for something to munch on tonight I found out there is eggs... no bread a little milk and not too much more... Matthew must think I have gone a little crazy having not all that much in the house... but I am sure he understands...

It is the same with Mr. and Mrs. Nickum... they must think that I have left the country because I have been there either this week. I promised Carl that I will try and stop by tomorrow morning after an appointment I have with a Tim's for his dad. Actually it is hearing aide day I have to get there tomorrow...hmmm I better make a note of that one so I pick up his stuff before going over...

There was a very bright light in my life this weekend... Master Caleb was down to the house and I got to spend sometime with him... I still thing all people who have blood pressure problems should spend time with a sweet heart like him... it takes so much of the pressure away...

Well it was just a note to say I am still alive... have a good one all... Joanne

5 AM Blogging

Tuesday morning and almost 5 am and I am up... someone not mentioning names but they know they are actually thought I was up at 2 am and wanted to have a chat... how silly can one be... now I am up and not able to sleep... makes for an interesting coming day....

So what has been going on since the last time I wrote... I guess lots. Maybe that is why I have not written... Dad is still in the hospital... didn't go up to see him today... actually I just thought of it I have not even called him... what a bad daughter I am... but then what else is new... lol which meant that I didn't go up to see Mrs. Hills, Carl's parents or Aunt... wow I am really bad... well there is always tomorrow...

This past weekend was my birthday... I spent the day cashing in my Christmas gift from Carl... a day at the Spa... so I have to say to anyone who is listening... anytime you want to send me back there just feel free to hand me a gift card for it... I am more then welling to use it... the only thing I can say is that the day was awesome... what a way to relax and forget your life even for just a little while...

I am still working on a blanket.. the baby is going to be here and it is not going to be there... have been working on a lot of other stuff when I am not out of the house... today was a re use thing for me kind of day... Susan, Carl's sister, just in case somebody didn't know or doesn't remember who she is, was getting ready of some curtains some time back and of course I took them thinking they would work in the bedroom but they were really long... but I put them up any way... so last week I took them down... washed them, cut and hemmed them... leaving me with quite of left overs... of course me being me didn't throw it out which was great in the end... now I hem with the no sew tape... I love the stuff... I have said thank you Flo for telling me about this stuff... amazing I have to say... any way so we moved some stuff again once again... the sitting room which was the dining room which was the bedroom is now a bedroom again and the living room is a living room again... so I thought of the left over curtains that I tucked away ... taking them out I discovered that they would be too short for the window.... threw them on the bed and when to do something else... but while I was do that I thought of something.. adding a piece to it... so when I got home from having lunch with Roger, Flo and Mom I got to it and now I have re used, done over curtains in the bedroom and I have to say I didn't do too bad of a job....

So the moving of the furniture from the basement to the ground floor made an extra room empty down there... so I decide to decided to make it into a craft room so that is what I have been spending my spare time with these last few days.... I just have to say I don't want to move in the near future there is way too much stuff in this house to move and pack...

Well that is it for now... I hope everything is good your way... and I really wish people stop leaving ad messages on this blog and of course people that think I don't sleep at all are the reason I am up at 5 am writing this blog... I do sleep....

Have a great one all... Joanne
