Nancy, I asked the dr. about not taking insulin in this instance and he was adamant that I take it 4 times a day.
I am beginning to wonder if I will need to have a garage sale called "stuff I should have sold before the move sale". Seems like the storage space is filling up fast.
Dh and I are painting tomorrow. We are painting the living room, entry, hallway and both dining areas. He will do the detailed cut-in work and I will roll the rest. I really hate to mess with it but it makes sense to do it now. Once I have the 2 hutches in the dining room, I won't be in a hurry to move them again to paint. Dh filled in the nail holes tonight. Dd2 hung things way too high for dhs taste.
Dd1 is a school nurse and she sees some sad situations. There are times that I don't know how she does it. Today she was telling me about a mother who had called about getting her 3 children and her sisters 2 children on the list for gifts from the church. Dd1 talked to the guy in charge and the deadline was up. They had used the leftover funds to buy food, also. Dd1 didn't tell him that she had had requests. She told me that her and her dh would buy for these 5 children. Dd1 is very thrifty for herself and very generous for others. I told dh about it and he told me to call and tell her that we wanted to help out. When I called her, her and her dh were shopping. I told her how much we wanted to donate and she was thrilled to have that amount to work with. Her dh had told a coworker and the coworker had given him $40.00. She said these families really need this. It is so much easier to do this for people who genuinely have their childrens needs as their priority. She has known of times where other people have returned their childrens gifts for cash for drugs or alcohol. She just hates to see little kids do without because of a parents selfishness or addiction. Dd1 just called. I am the original pajama gramma, so she bought each of those children a pair of pajamas, plus clothing and then other items. Each child will have 5 packages. Tomorrow is the delivery day, so she is wrapping these gifts tonight.
I always buy my grandkids pajamas as part of their gifts. Last year for the 2 older dgds, I didn't. I won't make that mistake again. They both commented that you always buy us pajamas. I guess I thought they didn't really pay attention or it didn't matter. I found out different.
Well I better head to bed. It will painting time before I know it.
without so much backpack strain: The Hounds of the Baskervilles and Voyage of the Dawn Treader. (a tough read to keep the computer happy, and a more meaningful one for Mom to be happy)
Next I need to deal with the dining table. It's not too bad. But I'm fighting a bit of some stress.
