Oh my goodness, it's good I got stuff done yesterday, b/c today it is a madhouse around here. Dgrands arrived before noon, and boy, they are both wound up! DH has actually taken a pillow and gone to the car "to try to get some rest." His bp was 175 today, which is DOWN from yesterday, and he started the new bp med today, so maybe things will improve soon, but right now, he just feels horrible. The house IS much quieter now, however, since he has turned off the radio and hone outside.
DDIL is at work, with class tonight until 9:15, ds is out of town, and dgs has a t-ball game tonight. * whew *
I was relieved to realize that ddil does NOT have a dentist appt Friday; it is next week. Plus, her parents are visiting this weekend, so we will not have dgs Saturday night, either.
But get this -- ddil has hopes that our church will start a co-ed softball team and join a league that is forming (possibly) in our town, and she & ds can play. I'm thinking, just WHEN does she think they will have time to play softball??? As my dmom just said, they are never home at the same time anyway.
DGS is talking a million words a minute, showing me pictures on my phone, and giving me facts and questions -- "Which planet is the biggest, earth or Venus?" "Did you know this is one of Jupiter's moons?" "Here's Ceries, it's a dwarf planet." "It was discovered in 1801 by... (someone I have no idea how to spell and he has probably no idea how to pronounce.)"
I am about to go into BRAIN OVERLOAD and suggest we all settle in and watch Mary Poppins. Or cartoons. Or SOMETHING.
DGD is playing quietly with something. Probably should check on her...
I am interested in Harriet's new vacuum, b/c I am always interested in the possibility of easier-to-use vacuums. I'm fascinated with the Shark they show on tv, which goes directly from carpet to hardwood with no change in attachments. I wonder if it really works on both surfaces that well.
I wish I could reply to all posts, and answer assorted emails, and THINK, but oh my goodness, it's crazy around here. I have a headache. And -- this is embarrassing -- my right arm hurts, I'm pretty sure b/c I've been playing games on my phone too much.
Tomorrow is another day.
