I ended up sleeping most of the day away. I can't seem to stay awake. :( so I must be fighting something.

dh has a appointment an hour away from here today and dd15 has the day off today so my dmom will be taking her out.
I have to make an appointment with his neurologist to start weaning him off of the anti seizure meds.

dh 11 eye doctor :D
dd15 cancelled pilates as dd is with dmom

So happy I have been granted with a deep faith. It may get challenged once in a while but the peace that comes with that is a blessing.

my goal today is to work on
focus of the week: kitchen - clean top of refridge :D , clean toaster :D , clean phone :D , clean front of appliances :D , (future - order new knob for stove as ours keeps on falling off)
clean top of washing machine (oh my goodness it was bad :roll: but it's done :D )

Important: :arrow: with dh not well we couldn't work in there
dejunking focus of the week - living room: help dh go through the meds in there to see what is good and not good, have him go through side cabinets too with my help, look at what can go upstairs, realize, same with books on the coffee table he is collecting...I will move anything mine as the frontroom is now his sanctuary
SATURDAY: DD15 AND I WASH THE FLOOR AND DUST IN FRONT ROOM


and holiday focus - start the holiday gift list in binder as usual... I print a copy from the holiday grand plan the budget and gift list :D , I card file the rest (print weekly very small and it is in card file :D
someday area: finish on front door, ask dmom to come with me to make copies of dgrandpere's pictures for chrismas card and gift.
desk duty for the day: send out anniversary card and birthday cards to next weeks anni.and bdays

plus laundry, a quick room by room walk through DONE :D (my bedroom: put new ink in printer :D ), and if time allows paint the front door..I still have to sand parts dh had done before.
6:44 am believe I can do it and know I am responsible for making my house a home.

H. cleaned the carport, patio, and front walk way he shoved every thing in the front of the shop so we can't get in there! Sigh! I will have to move stuff most all of it around. I don't know if I can even get my rake out I wish he would have thought this through a bit more
last year we had a path to the back of it. The mower is in there already that usually goes in last, OMG! I don't know if this is helpful or just more work for me later. A couple of chairs that
were going to dd's did not make it and now we are paying the price of not getting those out of here! Sigh. Thanks for listening.

Had to bring the drawers back down to the basement b/c they had not been picked up yet by dd. But with the tragic stuff going on for their friends this week it is the least of their concerns. Dgson's room make over is going to the some day card now I think!

Nancy it IS hard when things don't work out the way we want especially how you wanted the chairs to go etc. ((())) you have been really working hard... so you need to pat yourself on the back for all you do!
plus you have grandma duty and life. so I think you need to be easy on yourself.
also I agree that with all that's happening it's hard for them to grab those things. Remember in your mind you know they are going and a decision has been made even if it can't get out yet.

Blessed thanks!
Hubby pointed out that he can move things and will help if I want to re-arrange it.
Also we will not need it 'till spring in all likelyhood.

I was able to return a couple of items that I got this week that did not fit so glad that I
did not put this off!

Got some time out and vegged for a while this morning, I needed it and that was great!
