Jennifer - Our Easter baskets will have a stuffed animal each (Build-a-Bear for Terra that I got with a "free animal" coupon and Miles the bunny from Borders that I got cheap), a chocolate bunny and maybe some bubbles, etc - little things.

I wish I'd known about Miles the bunny, but we didn't have any Borders near us. It is always neat to find stuff for Miles.

I hope that you feel all better soon! You have 2 days until spring break, and this is Miles' last day of spring break.

I just found out that they need 60% attendance for tomorrow to count as a make-up day. It had better count or I will be grumpy (and I know a bunch of teachers who will be more than grumpy).

it has been an odd day emotionally for me today (really just wanted the day to go by but Jim just had to text me). I am hoping with this day over with I can start getting me out of my funk.

Good Night All!!

I hope that your funk lifts.

Home Health (including nurses, physical and occupational therapists and speech therapists) will be here on a regular basis for some time to come. He is so much better than he was, but will still require monitoring on a daily basis. I am just delighted that he will be able to "fend" for himself a few hours a day. He feels as if there has been someone watching over him for weeks and weeks and weeks!

We have quite a few deliveries to look forward to over the next couple of days: hospital bed, wheelchair, walker, bathroom equipment, wheelchair ramp, feeding tube pump and food and one of these babies:

.

Bob calls it The Shaker, they call it The Vest. It helps clear out his airways for ease in breathing. There are two corrugated plastic tubes that come out the front and hook onto a vest that is wrapped around Bob. It shakes the heck out of him and loosens anything that needs loosening!

I am so happy that Bob will be home, but I can understand the terror, too!

Good morning.

Anne Marie - congrats on the weight loss! I wish I had the will power to diet!

Jen - glad you're feeling better.

Tia - love it when Uncle Sam gives us $$!

Theresa - hope today is better for you.


Well, guess what I get to do today.

Yep. Thrilling.

Good morning, DDA! Miles and I went to visit my parents for a few days. We had a good (relaxing) time.

My bathrooms are done! (Except for the painting and staining that I am responsible for...that will wait until preschool is done at the end of May.)

Laura went on a trip offered through school. They spent two days in Amsterdam, a night in Brussels, a half day in Bruges, and are now in Paris for three nights. I am so jealous, but I am also very happy that she is getting this experience. She spent a lot of hours life guarding to save up. She'll fly out of Paris on Saturday morning and arrive home sometime Saturday night. I'm guessing there will be a lot of sleeping and homework on Sunday, and getting her to school on Monday will be a bit of a struggle. She can't miss Monday, though, especially since she is missing Friday. The trip was scheduled long before they knew they needed the make-up day, and I wasn't about to make her forfeit the trip. She has missed only a handful of days in all four years of high school for any reason.

I don't have much planned today. A friend wants to meet for lunch. I feel guilty leaving Miles on his last day of spring break, but she teaches full-day preschool, so we can't have lunch during school, and I haven't seen her in a long time. He'll keep himself busy for a couple of hours, and I have spent a lot of time with him over the past week.

It's grey and gloomy here, but it is getting warmer!

I'm glad they created the shaker. I remember when the nurses would just beat on the back of patients to loosen it up

Exactly!

Good morning, DDA!

Tammi gets to mow, Beth gets to go out to lunch, Anne Marie gets to diet (WTG!), Deb gets to go to work and go to work and go to work, Tia gets to count her money, Theresa gets to NOT look at texts from The Jerk, Jen gets to feel better.

I get to clean and move furniture and meet people with many deliveries!

Did I miss anything??

 

[tinknme]

Good morning all

Beth how exciting for your daughter, I know she is having a wonderful time!

Jen hope you are feeling better

Elin good luck with all the deliveries!

Tammi it is time to mow our yard as well, that is on the agenda for Riley tomorrow.

It's past now and I'm sure that will be a big relief and a huge step to getting out of your funk!

Feel better!

I wish I'd known about Miles the bunny, but we didn't have any Borders near us. It is always neat to find stuff for Miles.

It's a smaller size Build a Bear bunny so perfect to go with Terra's bear. They have them on the Borders website too if you happen to need anything else. When I got him, he was $4.99 with purchase of any book. I needed to go find a store that's staying open to get my new Jean Auel book and couldn't pass him up. Too cute!

I think you covered it perfectly!


Erin's new Chick-Fil-A opens today so we've got a Kaylin hanging out with us as well. Then this afternoon a lot of crazy running as there's Brownies, dance, Rachel's work and something else all going at the same time. See - it's so bad I can't even remember what the "something else" is.

Happy Thursday everyone!!!

Thanks! I couldn't find him on the Borders website, but I'll keep looking around.

Here is my redone master bathroom. I am so glad that it is all finally done! (I haven't uploaded the photos of the main bath yet.)

[Tammi67]

Beautiful! Love the tile work!

 

[bethbuchall]

Thanks, Tammi! We finally pulled both baths back from the ruins (and also the decorating styles of the late 60's). They were both so bad and were basically self-destructing. They needed to be replaced over 20 years ago when we moved in, but between spending the money on the house and then the expenses of three kids... We finally couldn't put it off any longer, and I am so glad that they are done. I stopped having people over years ago for fear that they'd need a bathroom.

 

[PNO4TE]

Bathroom looks terrific, Beth!

 

[tinknme]

Love the bathroom Beth!

I love this recap!!

(except I had to talk to theJerk because of the text yesterday)

 

[babytrees]

Beth- that is beautiful!!

We have a Borders if you'd like me to look.

I should be in bed, but obviously am not. Still wide awake from work tonight.

Another busy day tomorrow tough I'm not working at either job. The younger kids get out at Noon and Nick has his first High School lacrosse game at 5:30. We'll watch the varsity game at 4 first. I've been asked to keep the book for the JV games. Hopefully I'll be able to do it as I have no idea what it entails

Tomorrow night I'll wrap up the complicated part of 2 fundraisers and hopefully have the last of the paperwork in the mail for Lacrosse. Then maybe things will settle down a bit...just a bit.
