For some reason I am having a hard time coming up with blog posts these days.. I think because most of what is happening in my life is not really stuff I think anyone wants to hear about.. so I am going to do a short (I hope) wrap up on what has been happening with us.
All of the computers are getting upgraded.. Dave needs to do his about every 3 years due to the program he uses for work will just not work well with the older computers.. which spoils me because I get his old one.. which is so much more computer than I will ever need... even going to get two screens.. lol and new keyboard and mouse.. both wireless.. yeah :) The extra one we are going to hook up to the entertainment center full time... yes I will be twittering in the living room on the projection screen... wohooo.
Spent the last weekend moving the MIL into a nursing home... talk about emotional... I think she will like it if she can hang on for a bit and get used to it. I have to say this is a nice place.. she was able to bring her china hutch and fill it with her collections.. so she does have some of her stuff there.. there are only 2 people per room. Some of the places we found had three people in a room and most of the place no one was allowed to bring anything personal. It is really close to home so the kids can stop in and visit and we can swing by for lunch of just to say hi a lot more often. Used to take us over an hour each way... now it is like less than 10 minutes. Plus her doctor appointments will all be in the home.. so no more hurry up and get to a doctors so we can wait 40 minutes for a 5 minute appointment.
health wise... everyone is doing good.. daughter is still very aware if she over does it... and yet. she still tried to talk me into letting her wrestle at school this year... the answer is No!! We heard there is the swine flue started around school.... I just keep telling the kids.. wash your hands wash your hands wash your hands.... and do not touch your face! I learned that on December 4th I am going to a doctor for a 5 hour appointment where he will take me through a bunch of things to decide how much it has healed and what issues I am still having with it. We shall see what he says... I had hoped it would be doing better than it is... it is better since the surgery.. so that is good.. but it is not back where it was before the accident. I know it takes awhile.. but it has been awhile.. and I am tired of it hurting. Tired of how it influences my life and what I can do and how much I can do.
Daughter has a boyfriend... they are so cute... he seems like a really nice guy. Went and meet his parents and I have to say.. it is really nice to find another family that cares where their children are and what they are doing with who. I am just amazed these days how many parents of teenagers do not even seem to care... I still expect my children to call me and let me know where they are and what they are doing and who with... even my 20 year old... he is not asking permission.. but being respectful and safe.... daughter still needs permission for most things.. but even things she knows she can do.. she needs to let me know.
Crafty stuff... well... I making the run from the plastic bags... this is a lot of fun... ran out of the pink bags so it was put on hold for awhile.. now I have a few more so I can finish it up. When we moved MIL I brought all of her crafty stuff home.. I am talking hundreds of knitting needles and crochet hooks and pattern books and yarn and sewing stuff... I have been sorting it out and will take a craft box to her at the home and will get one set up here at the house for when she visits. She does not ever use this stuff.. but she is able.. if I get it started and put it in her lap she will do it without thinking. She has shown me some fun stuff with knitting.. I am hoping to learn a few more tricks from her :)
This weekends plan is to stay home as much as possible.. will possibly have to run to the computer store and do an exchange on some of the software or something.. I am not sure.. don't speak computer. We are working on getting ready for thanksgiving.. I know it is a little early.. but... I get to have my son home from the academy for a week.. and my parents are coming up for it... I am excited and happy... looking forward to getting to spend a little time with him... we are going to do his birthday at the same time.. since it is the first week of December and he will be in the academy then.
That is my short version... I know.. even when typing I talk too much.... thankfully it is a blog and you can pick through and read what you want... and skip everything you do not care about.
