After a
rough couple of weeks it is has been great to get back to the routine. Chuck and I still don't have all of our energy back but we are pushing through. Going to bed early has been a big help for us. Monday started with a big list of things to do. The top item on the list was laundry.
I was able to get all the laundry washed, ironed, folded and put away. Whew! I have another load on the line as I write this. It feels so good to be back on top of the laundry. It really doesn't take long for it to get out of control.
We are finally having spring like weather and it seems that things are growing and changing overnight. There was been many afternoons spent outside and my sweet girl is bringing a fistful of beauty each day.
Sickness and a weekend spent at the funeral home meant the menu went out the window. We dined on canned soup and take out far too many times. My weekly menu is up and I have been sticking to it.
I have to share a Megan story. In the mist of all that was going on I walked into Megan's room last week and found that her fish, Little Dragon, was floating. Oh my! Just what we needed. Anyway, while brushing Megan's hair after her shower last night she told me that she had a dream the night before. She had received a letter from Aunt Wanda and Aunt Wanda told her that she was taking care of Little Dragon. Little Dragon was living in a stained glassed fish bowl (Wanda made stained glassed things as a hobby) and stayed on her dresser. She also said that all of Little Dragon's supplies were keep neatly in a dresser drawer. I had to smile at that as Wanda was a meticulous person.
I fought back tears as Megan told me this but I it also warmed my heart.
I have only left home once this week. It was for a quick trip though the car line. I like to be home and it has felt so good.
My dad stopped by and tilled my garden. That makes me super happy. Now if it would only start to warm up. I am ready to play in the dirt and get some things planted.
I have to say that blogging friends are some of best! I received a package this week from
Kathy.
Does she know me or what?! Everything is super cute and I just love the chalkboard lids. Thanks Kathy!
Having a slow week at home is just what I needed!
May your day be filled with joy and contentment.
