Mom Loves Shelby the best: sayeth Shelby

November 22,2009
WEll we are at REid and Mandy's for the last few days. They left for Mexico early Friday am. so we are taking care of the three boys. Kaydon went with mom and dad. Jake was having a very difficult time not sure if the tears were that mom and dad were leaving him behind or that he wouldn't see them again. Anyway, we awoke to crying. I went and talked to him and said he needed to be a big brave boy and he sucked it up and that was the end of it. HE has been fine ever since but this is just Sun so maybe by Thurs he maybe be getting lonely again. It has been a busy few days, and really the timing was great for Reid and MAndy to be away as our ceilings are being scraped and sprayed. Well they promised that they would be done by Monday night,so we will see. We will then be able to put furniture back in our house and have a place to sit down. Anyway I think this is the start of putting things back together. I'm sure I will have alot of dust to deal with Tuesday. But I know things have to get worse before they get better. Soon we will be off to Mexico. My dad is in hospital having tests, he has no energy and sleeps and sleeps. He is getting very weak. Larry and Heather are going out Monday. They had this trip booked for some time so that will be good. Auntie Pauline may have to have some home care for him for a while. Hard when they are so far away. Anyway this grandma should hit the sack as my boys have gone to bed. Nice to have little boys again but life is very busy, one forgets how much they can eat but they have lots of energy to burn off. Good nite to all. Sandi

To much to do and not enough time

Does anyone else have this problem. Someone mentioned the other night about the blogs not up dated. Well I'm guilty. Sorry, but some days there just isn't enough time to do what one has to do and needs to do. Anyway we have lots of projects going at our house, ( kitchen renos, laundry room that still isn't painted yet, trims ordered to be up on upstairs)work to do at the shop and in my home office, craft nites to get to, cardmaking, candle parties, so much to do and not enough time. I really need to do some hospital visits. Sorry I can't share any pictures as i have lost my camera. I do have a old one but have to figure it out again. About our craft nights there are a few of us girls getting together and doing crafts, any craft just come and relax and enjoy. Seeing these young girls cross stitching, knitting they have inspired me to get back to some of those crafts that I use to do. I think they would be fun again. WE take turns at each others house, do some work, share a few stories, laughs and have coffee and goodies. I think I as the oldest one there but I am , thrilled to be invited. One always needs a night off. Well all for now. Will try and take some pictures soon. Sandi
