Wednesday, back in the saddle a day early


 The kids are gone and all the remnants of company are still here, but I don't care I will ignore them for a time. I need to get back in the shop a day earlier than expected due to some things happening around here.

Hub's mom called and said that a doctor visited the house and spent a good hour with Dad and his time is near.  Water is building up around the liver and the swelling from his congestive heart failure would soon not allow him to walk.  Hospice will be called in and more help will arrive.  I know with my dad (step) once he reached the unable to walk phase he only lasted three days.  So we are planning a trip to Nampa in about 10 days.  I want to have all dresses due out for June done,just in case we have to leave unexpectedly.  I don't want brides going off the deep end.

I had a call yesterday from a client, who said she needed a little alternation on her wedding dress (which to me means alot) her reception dress (which means she is over the top) her mother's dress, her maid of honors dress.  SO I asked when the wedding was.  June 19th!  I told her she should have been in here two months a go.  She said she would call someone else.  I told her there was no one else who would do weddings. (Now shaking my head)  So she is due in here today at 4:00 with her group, then I have to run Roscoe to the vet for a rattlesnake vaccine, and then back to greet another bride at 5:30.

Hubs is at the high school tonight and has been at someones house all morning helping install bathtub handles, for the elderly.  Snort, like we aren't elderly.  He does this for the city aging society, along with building steps and wheel chair ramps.I had him scheduled to take Roscoe in but he was called into the school, one more thing for Kim's old schedule. Kim plans God laughs.

I think we have finally eaten up most of the leftovers, with just a few bits and bobs going to the chickens.  SO no waste which makes me happy.

Things to get done today:

1. go to bank

2. go to wal-mart

3. finish back porch cushions

4. figure out what has to be done in shop to get everything out in the next week for June!!!!!

5. What is for dinner?

6. sew something anything...

Well I am off to see what chaos I can quell.  Hey Quelling Chaos is a great blog name.

Did you all have a nice memorial day weekend? What did you do?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. I did nothing for the weekend, but I made up for it by a full day and half yesterday. I had people who wanted sewing done, but never more than just a "little bit"...lol. Do people ever tell you how to alter? I have a good story about altering that I may put up tomorrow on my blog.

    1. No I have not had anyone tell me how to alter well except my family and then I just give them the look.

  6. I'm sorry about your FIL. Hospice is an amazing care service and take much of the worry out of end-of-life needs.


    Charge this bride some MAJOR bank for the rush job. Seriously, she deserves to pay at least double. Her emergency, not yours.

    1. Well she is getting charged top dollar and she did not seem concerned. I have always been amazed by hospice.

  7. So sorry to read about your FIL.

    Yep, our schedules seem to get changed an awful lot. I wanted to weed the gardens today but ended up spending time getting our second jabs scheduled and slicing bacon for the freezer. Now the weeding will take place early tomorrow after my walk. The pant hemming for a friends Dad will be done tonight by hand rather than machine as the fabric is really cheap and puckers terribly when sewn that way.

    God bless.

    1. I do a lot of hand hemming especially on men's suits and finer fabrics.

  8. Sending good thoughts & hugs to you & your family. I hope everything goes as well as possible with your father in law.

    We are in survival mode, with the last week of school, getting 2nd shots for the kids (after three places have now cancelled), & arranging testing for traveling. Oh, and inspection drama & maintenance with our house sale.

    1. You will be so happy when that house sale is finalized. I think house drama is the worst.

  9. Prayers for you and yours. We put flowers on graves as this is the first year Daddy's been gone and someone always made sure to take him to put flower on Step mom's and brothers graves with him. We didn't do anything else.

    Now about the late bride. Way back when I catered we had what we fondly referred to as the PITA fee. It was an arbitrary additional Pain in the <<< fee. Sometimes you just have to charge a little (or a lot) extra for entitlement.
