What Did You Do Today?

[Janet]

I slept a little later this morning and then headed over to see Mom in the hospital. She still doesn't look like I think she should look, but they are considering releasing her tomorrow. Not a good thing because I didn't know this and hadn't talked with any of the nursing homes yet. So first thing I do tomorrow after the route is make some phone calls.

Came home for a bit...did some odds and ends and then the 3 of us went to look for mattress sets. I told my husband I just can't stand the snoring and wasn't going to. So I found a wonderful full size mattress for me and I will be moving the old queen size bed and him into the other room..FINALLY!!! I'll have to move the dogs and their crates out of that room and into the living room until it gets warmer at night....then 3 of them are going to the garage. Two in the house will be enough. I'll also have to clean the carpet, but I know Ricky will help me move things because of my wrist.

Tomorrow....back to the bus route.

I had a pretty good weekend! On Saturday, we headed to another town with a lingerie/underwear store that Scott had bought me a Groupon for. It was unlike any bra shopping I'd every done before. I had to first go to the front and fill out a card and get measured, and then go into a room with an assistant who gave me things to try on. I didn't actually shop, I told her what I wanted and she went out and got it for me. It was definitely different! It also turns out I've been wearing the wrong bra size for years And just my luck, I have a specialty size that isn't sold in normal stores But now that I have the right size, it's amazing the difference it makes!

After that adventure, we went grocery shopping and drove home on icy roads Scott decided not to go back in to visit his friends that evening, so we relaxed at home. We turned off our lights at 8:30 for earth hour, lit a couple of candles in the living room, and laid down on the couch together. I woke up at 11:00. Oops! So I went straight up to bed.

Sunday morning we went to church for the first time in a couple of months, and found out that the old lady who lives in the home across the street, has been in the hospital for a month. She had one of her legs amputated She is diabetic and circulation got bad and some infection set in on her lower leg. I don't think she will be returning to that home, and will probably be at a nursing home now with constant care. Scott and I will find out where she is exactly, and send her some flowers. I feel bad for not knowing before this

Anyways, when we got home from church, I started making some home made soup from a leftover pork roast, and Scott worked on his own project He wanted to just replace the caulking around the bottom of the shower because it looked bad, but when I went up a couple of hours later, the whole shower was taken apart and laying in pieces in the hallway, because he found a leak. After about 6 hours he had it all put back together. This morning, it is leaking from the other side.

Janet, you've always talked about moving Rick into his own room......I can't believe that you're actually getting it done!!! Did you have any trouble convincing him to do it?

Have you found a nursing home yet? What has your Mom said about that? I'm not surprised that she needs care because of the problems she's been having.


Lindsey, I've heard of others who have found out that they've been wearing the wrong bra size. I probably should go and be fitted some day too.

I sure that your neighbor would love some flowers and a visit!!! Especially if you keep coming once in a while to visit her.

The bathroom repairs sound just like what we go through here!!!! Glen is not the best when it comes to home repairs..........but mechanical stuff.......he's great at!!!!

This moring I had Dean. He's been so whiny lately. Dae Lynn says that it's about to drive her crazy. We've tried to excuse it for some time.....saying that it's his teeth but I think that it turning into the fact that he's just whiny!!!! He did take a good nap for me....which is always nice!! Dae came and got him at noon. I haven't done much else since then.

We went to Wichita yesterday for Mom's heart cath but I'll post about that on another thread.

[Janet]

I'm finally done getting everything rearranged. I slept last night on my new mattress and slept like a baby. I'm looking forward to going to sleep tonight too....LOL Didn't have to convince him....just did it! We did talk about it later last night and both know that if this doesn't help at least let us be more civil then we've agreed to divorce. We both know at this time we can't afford to live on our own so this will arrangement will have to do for now.

Today I've been cleaning some, but needed to rest my wrist. I get the stitches out on Friday, but it still aches if I do too much. So I'm trying to do as instructed by the Dr.

[DianaB]

You need to take care of your wrist!! Don't over do!!

It sounds like everything went pretty well with Rick. I know that you have your problems but I just hate to hear you talk about divorce.

[Janet]

I know Sweetie and thanks for caring. Not all things are meant to be forever...except for God's love.

Janet, where's your mom? I'm glad to hear that the sleeping arrangement is working out well.

I just watched Tangled, the new Disney movie about Rampunzel. It's really a sweet movie, I really enjoyed it. Emma never stopped talking though. LOL! She had already watched it and she was telling me everything before it happened.

[DianaB]

Our church is showing Tangled tomorrow night at the youth center and I'm suppose to go and help. It looks like a really cute movie. How nice that you had "personal narration"!!!!!

I have Dean this morning. I don't know if I stepped on him or what he was playing with......but I fell FLAT. I hurt all over so I'm just going to lick my wounds for awhile. Dean didn't cry much so I really don't think that I stepped on him. It scared me that I had hurt him.......but instead I hurt myself.

It's been rainy here for days.......I'm ready for some warm, sun-shiney weather for a change!!!!

[Janet]

That movie's commercial looks so cute...I would love to see it too.

[gja1000]

We got home from the lake about 1:30 today. I am so glad to be home. Gary was ready to come home too, he is really tired. Abigail helped me unload the trailer but I still need to sweep and clean up a bit. But the major stuff is done. We will be leaving next month to go to Akansas so I will leave the trailer partially stocked.

[Janet]

You are quite the traveler Gayle! Your life sounds so much more interesting than mine.

Today I bahedq and groomed 5 dogs, my mother and myself, so it's been a wet day...lol. I did take some time to myself and had a nice relaxing bath and shaped my nails, and then my younger brother , his wife and daughter came over. Sure wish he'd leave his wife at home. So, I guess I'll try and put some polish on tomorrow. Ala in all, it was a good day...now I'm settled in my OWN bed and watching Real Housewives of Orange County.

[gja1000]

LOL Janet, I wish my life would slow DOWN! Thankfully, I'll be home this coming weekend, then I may have to go to Dallas with my daughter for a volleyball tourney, but hopefully, her hubby will be able to go and I won't have to. Then we are going to Houston, probably the first weekend in May. Other than that, I'm staying HOME till we leave to go to Arkansas.

[DianaB]

I got to see Tangled on Friday night and it is soooo cute!! Of course, the music was fantastic as all Disney movies are!!! I always love the songs and how they're sung!!!

Saturday I swept and mopped my floors which is saying quite a lot!!! They had gotten so dirty that I was ashamed to have Dean on the floor.....even if he is walking!! It looks so much better!!!

Today we went out to eat with some friends after church then we went to Glen's cousin's house out on the lake. She and her husband both passed away fairly recently and we had talked to her daughter, Glen's cousin, about getting some old family pictures. While we were there we checked out the house, shop, and yard to make sure that everything was alright. Glen's cousin is trying to sell it all but I think that she's had it priced too high for the shape it's in.

Then we came home and hurried around for Care Group. We joined a group on marriage so it's been pretty interesting and tonight we had some great discussion.

We got home a while ago and lightening was everywhere!!! We're in a severe storm watch with the possibility of hail. We had a little bit but not much.....Thank goodness!!!

[Janet]

Can you all tell in my last post that I was using my IPad? LOL. Takes some getting use to.
