After a puzzling test result, I have been told no caffeine and no sugar until at least Monday night. I'm finding it ... trying. No coffee. 😕 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 We are done with Easter Dinner. Skyped with dd20 while she ate a baked potato. I ate too much. Lots of leftovers. The broccoli salad was very good, and according to Slache, will thankfully be feeding us for the next couple days! Ds23 hid a few eggs outside for The Youngers to go find. The sermon today, which I heard twice, was on Job 19:23-27. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I went to half-day public Kindergarten. My best friend wasn’t in my class and I was devestated. I had to have speech therapy because I would say church as “terch.” Turns out I needed tubes in my ears. The day they did the surgery I still wanted to go to school that afternoon. I ended up crying the whole time, and sat by the back door while everyone else watched a movie. It was an all glass door with a Winnie the Pooh cling decal/sticker thing on it. I still cry every time I have anesthesia, to this day. Found out recently my sister does, too. We did not not celebrate Easter. My mom is visiting this weekend, though. I though she might want to go to a service. Turns out she is no longer a believer, either. My mom is a completely different person than when I was growing up. We’re getting along great! That is all. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 We are back. I am Eastered out. Had a very delightful dinner at my Mom and Dad’s house. My mom is doing fine, but my dad’s dementia is really increasing. He is really losing his mind and saying a lot of hurtful things to my mom. It’s very hard. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I like the mantel simple, unlike ours - couple candles, couple photos in frames and lots of chess trophies that need a better place. That said, I'm not a good judge of keep the house, move the house, or add to the house until you have your picture up. #felpful 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I mostly read a book during the movie. Ds14 seems to know everything about every video game ever created, so it was highly entertaining for him. I have no decorating skillz. I talked to MIL briefly today. They are expecting us to spend Christmas up there this year. I don't know if I can do it again. We thought 2017 was the last time we would have to go up because they were going to move to Indiana, but then their (26yo) grandson got suspended/kicked out of nursing school and they won't move until he graduates which we are thinking may be never. And that's fine. They don't have to move, but I still don't want to go. I ate too much dessert! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her teacher wants her to have a 45 minute lesson now instead of a 30 minute lesson. She’s doing very well in piano, I guess. She’s the one with whom I had this conversation , “honey, you have to count the beats....”. “I don’t want to count, Mommy, I want to just go.” She started two years after her sister and she’s already caught up with her, too. I’m just glad one of my kids is excelling in music. And I have phone calls to make.😩😩😩 Just shoot me now. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) One problem with fasting is that you miss the wonderful Easter Dinner leftovers. Pout. Dd12 asked to stop by the roadside garden stand and we found zucchini, dill, and Celebrity tomato 6-packs super cheap. Plus a lupine. Because lupines. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f8a414a7-eea3-4fa0-9a22-f81f0255b254 Edited April 22, 2019 by Susan in TN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
