I'm.........

I’m going with DH to IKEA today - love that store!
DH has to pick up a shelf he ordered and we need to start looking at what to buy for Katie’s dorm room. I wish Kate could come with us, but she’s at softball practice for 2 hours and then she’s going to help coach our 11u teams softball practice for 2 hours. Never a dull moment for her.

I'm going to be doing laundry and a little cleaning upstairs.......then starting the master bedroom.
Hope today to get the nook/library today.

After cancelling our March vacation, I am cautiously optimistic we'll make our Easter Vacation at WDW, as our son appears to be on a good path after a negative experience earlier this month.

Here’s sending Pixie Dust for good times ahead!

Not the library nook done.....and almost done with the rest of the bedroom.
Taking a lunch break.

I‘m sorry to hear your DS is going through a tough time.
I hope things get better for him soon

I’m feeling down in the dumps today. DD23 has a real gift of upsetting me and today is one of those days. To much to get into, but I was really hoping I could see my DGS before his 1st birthday on the 15th and that’s not going to happen. He’s walking now and doing so many other things that we’ve missed out on - we’ve been totally robbed of knowing him and he’s been robbed of knowing us. DD’s husband is a terrible person and now my DD is getting just like him. The whole thing is such a shame. DD’s husband won’t stop until he’s completely brainwashed my DD into being completely estranged from us. DD is pregnant again with a baby girl that’s coming in July. I’m sure we won’t know her either.

Sorry to hear that. That is really terrible.
Hope things change around soon.

I’m going to be leaving work soon so I can go to Mass and receive my ashes. Ash Wednesday is a very special church day for me, because it was on Ash Wednesday 29 years ago that I vowed in prayer that I will take better care of myself and live a healthier lifestyle (I was overweight and I smoked socially). I stayed true to that (dropped a lot of weight & kept it off and stopped smoking) so my ashes are not only a symbol of my repentance and devotion to God, but also a symbol of the vow I took 29 years ago. Always an emotional Mass for me - in a good way.

Thank you - I appreciate this

I am sorry to read this. I hope things change. We have had a terrible breach in our family mended, so, I know it can happen. I pray that it will happen for you.

Thank you bobbi, I appreciate the prayers, they are needed.

I’m staying at home all day today - hooray!
I love to be busy, but I really love to be home too.
I’m going to go up in the attic and get my Easter decorations down and put them out

 

[Meriweather]

I'm doing regular upstairs cleaning and laundry (the usual Sunday thing).
Almost done with spring cleaning. It has been going on for 4 weeks now. I just have my office, craft room left.
DH is slower than I am, so he still has a couple big ones to get done. He's out cleaning the pool filters now......but that is not part of spring cleaning

Easter decorations here won't go up until the end of the month. 6 weeks is too long for me for decorations.
Have fun with yours though

 

[PollyannaMom]

Easter stuff won't go up yet because St. Patrick's Day stuff is up now. But I will switch them over right after.

 

[slo]

I’m being very proactive…
Instead of Easter decorations, Katie and I went through old pictures and organized them, threw a lot away and put photos in envelopes for each of our wakes/funerals (our parents, DH & me) for photo displays. It’s so stressful when you have to rush and do this, so I’m starting the process early. It was great that Katie did this with me, so she knows what’s going on when the moment arises. This took a long time - about 6 hours and we still have more photo boxes to go through. This may be morbid to think about, but we’re all gonna pass away someday, so if I can make the moment easier on my family than I will.

 

[Meriweather]

When I went to clean out my parents' house after they died....pictures drove me crazy. I had no idea who a lot of people in them were!! My aunt helped with some. I threw away a lot because we just didn't know the people.
The first project I did when I got home was make sure all my photos were dated and had names on them.

I have about 100 photo albums and scrap books.

 

[bobbiwoz]

It’s something I have been meaning to do! Thanks for the reminder!

 

[Meriweather]

I'm back from Costco....prices sure are rising!!

Bobbi, DH just had a treatment for pre cancer cells on his head and face. How are you doing?

Glad they got it pre cancer.

I go for a Simulated radiation treatment on Thursday, if I can deal with it, I will schedule 15 treatments.

Today we had a lovely lunch with good friends. Some we hadn’t seen in 4 years. Ate in a restaurant and it felt great!
