SHEs Organized

Share your thoughts, struggles, challenges, and successes on this Tuesday

Hi! Thank you for starting us off today LadyM!!

First... DMIL is being discharged at some point today!!

Second... I have been up since around 4 a.m. Windows are open and the birds were chirping.

Third... Besides PSW two other people are coming over today. Person dh is "giving" some garden space is coming this morning after they get off work. Another person is coming to use the hoist to change one of his sets of tires. I think they have 5 vehicles between 4 adults in the household.


It's another beautiful day here. 1 of 3 litterboxes is deep cleaned. Kitchen garbage is out. I actually vacuumed when all 3 cats were outside.


No idea what we are having for supper.

Latest news on the dh front... now both knees are swelling and painful. Dh is having a hard time doing almost everything. I've been the only person going outside over the past 48 hours or more. I am now watering the gardens. A friend of mine is moving to a condo next week. I am slightly jealous. She's so happy that she no longer has to do yard work.

Good morning

My big news of the day is.......drum roll please.......the baby birds have flown! The nest is empty and the mockingbird parents has stopped with their protective dive bombing. i was able to walk in the garden this morning in peace.

I’d rather forget last night ever happened, but in being honest with myself, I have to admit it did. After all the hub-bub died down and a few hours have past, the incident seems very mild. Long story short...a teenage friend of DS17 didn't make wise decisions and was asked to leave our home. DS17 learned another life lesson about the importance of choosing your peers.
I continue to be thankful that I can be woken from a sound sleep....deal with a matter....and then easily return to sleep. That ability becomes a hard-earned necessity when raising children over many years.

DS17 was up and going at 5:30am today. He is traveling 2 hours away to vehicle dealership to take care of some recalls on his pickup.

DD14 has an appointment with her trusted counselor this afternoon. I'll also pick up some prescriptions that are ready and waiting for us.

I never knew about mocking birds until dd younger moved south. glad your little birds have flown the nest so that you no longer have to watch for dive bombing birds d lady! We have red winged black birds that love to dive bomb us when we are near their area. My dad was chased by a hawk when walking in the woods until he was a quite away from the area.

it is a good lesson for your d son...hope the young man, who needed to leave, learns something from it too.

wishing your dd a good visit

have a great day d lady

the bag piper came yesterday. lovely man and mom was truly happy!!! She had a morning out with dd's and then came home for the bag piper.

waving to everyone.

I was going to get a blood test today but mom was wide awake early.

I will have to have a talk with helper - some things we need to work out.

DH is continuing to return to his normal self. He has started using his phone again to play solitaire. He saw a text message from a friend show up on the phone screen but doesn't remember how to respond to it yet. I can leave him unmonitored for longer stretches of time now. He is sitting outside watching nature and enjoying life.

DS17 has called 3 times since he left this morning. DD14 and I are texting about this afternoon.
After a couple of super difficult & scary days taking care of DH, my life is returning to normal doings.

next up -
** prepare drinks for the day
** make bed
** harvest peppers

PSW has come and gone.

I've moved the lawn tractor out of garage. Truck has been moved as well.

I also took out a massive pork shoulder butt chop for supper. Just one is more than enough for both of us. Dh's appetite is usually lowest on Tuesday after his Ozempic shot on Friday.
