Tuesday, Sick grandbaby


 I woke up to my dog barking and this little beauty coming through the front door.  Only she was holding a collapsable vomit bag in front of herself. She also looked a little worse for wear. mom took off for the office, and I got to snuggle the punk.

So far, she seems to be doing okay just not nearly as rambunctious as usual. She is watching cartoons and burrowed into the sofa.

Aunty Kay is busy sewing ribbon onto Nez Perce tribal skirts. Lucky her! I was able to get all the little person things done yesterday.... YIPPEE!!!! Today it is about a wedding dress. I hope to finish that today.

There are things that I really need to concentrate on today and I am having a hard time remembering them. I need to finish paying the bills, then start a new savings chart, try and get all things taxes in a pile so I can do those and get them turned in by the end of the week.

Anne in the kitchen has been making me jealous as she cleans through her cupboards.  Mine need it so desperately and I just can't get to them, or maybe I am in avoidance mode. I will just live vicariously through her cleaning and not do mine.  Sounds like a great idea.

It is a beautiful clear sunny day here and about 45 degrees will probably get to 50. I fed and watered the chicken's this morning and realized I need to go get more chicken food to fill the reservoir. I also checked the green house, and it is not quite time to start plants. I have always started them in the house but this year I am going to start them later in the green house.

It has been such an unusually warm winter, but we could still see some really cold snowy weather.  We have been fooled many times and then had horrid weather in March and into April. So, I am not holding my breath.

I am going to check on the punk and get to work!  Any plans for today?  Does anyone want to come and clean my cupboards?

God is good

  1. Poor baby. Your daughter is luck to have you. I remember my mom stopping many times to be on sick child duty when older kids were young school age. I too am delinquent on cleaning cupboards and closets but I've no excuse.

  2. Maybe you could arrange to have thieves come by and steal the stuff in your cupboards….then you could have empty cupboards…okay not the best idea. I found moving twice in three years did wonders to get rid of my cupboard stuff. By the way, when I went thru my cupboards, a lot went into the trash, old expired food, spices, boxes of stuff, weird things like one chop stick, I was astonished at what I found. Alas those were my two ideas for you. ;). Your practice of avoidance seems to be the most practical. Hilogene in Az.

  5. Sorry about your grandbaby! I hope the snow and cold passes by your area. We've had more snow and cold then I like. You know it's been cold when it hits 30 and you feel like it's a heatwave!

  6. So sorry Kelsa is under the weather, but kudos for a kid who carries their own barf bag.
    I wish you would start cleaning out your cabinets. Then I could quit with mine and live vicariously through your cleaning.
