Finally Friday

I think for the first time in a week I got a "normal" night of sleep. We'll see how I do today. We have a family trip planned to a large amusement park for tomorrow so that should keep my mind busy. . .lots to do today to get ready to go. The grandkids will certainly enjoy this trip . . . I was so surprised last year when we did it for the first time that the kids had a blast given how hot it was. We just took it easy and the adults got to ride rides and the kids got to ride rides and I got to take photos so everyone was happy. This year, the girls will be taller and that opens up a new set of rides for them and they are super excited about that!!! We'll see if we can temp out grandson to ride a few rides. . .he isn't as bold as the girls at this point.

I have been doing a bit of scrapping lately so here goes. . .

Another Week Begins

As the temperatures get a bit cooler, I seem to be busy doing "spring" house cleaning a little on the late side. . .my whole life I seem to get things done better when it is cooler rather than when there is a promise of spring, so I clean in the fall of the year. . .I am sitting here at the computer with the windows opened and I have to say, I'm rather enjoying the fresh air!!!

Trying to get a bit of scrapping done so here goes. . .

Sad Times. . .

This has been "one of those weeks". . .our granddaughter came back for a visit on Monday and Tuesday, and promptly started coming down with a cold. Now, I blame myself for that - I've been fighting this "thing" for a couple of weeks now. Poor little girl started Kindergarten on Thursday. The thing is, she is coughing and sneezing and runs a temp in the evening, but during the day she acts just fine. That little girl just does not complain. I asked her how her throat felt and the answer I got "Not great". . .

I took her back home on Tuesday. . .now, I was trying to recover from 2 weeks of kids and fighting this "thing" I had and it never occurred to me I was missing a kitty. But then again, he sometimes disappears for a couple of days. Well, I found him yesterday. . .laying in an old litter box in the storage room. I have no idea what happened to him, he had been in such a good mood the past 2 weeks and had gotten so cuddly which just was not his style at all. . .I am going to miss that cat and I do know that I don't want another cat. I am now down to one and she is getting older so I'm resolved to a life with no pets. . .this is just too difficult. . .I have known great losses before and realize that the loss of a pet pales in comparison, at the moment that hole in my heart feels huge though and is bringing back the sting of losing a Father, Mother, and sister all over again. . .

I am determined to get caught back up with my scrapping, so here goes. . .

Finally Friday

Today is finally Friday. I don't know if it is my cold that is STILL hanging around or the fact that there has been a LOT going on the past couple of weeks, but it just seems like time flies by one minute and then drags on another. Yesterday, I was playing with our 5-year old granddaughter and she looked up at me and with wisdom that I have NO idea where it came from said "Grandma, I wish I could pause time". . .what 5-year old thinks like that???

Today, I have an appointment with "The Cable Guy" who is going to install a new cable box. We got a letter a couple of weeks ago that we had to upgrade our DVR box, so I called to get information regarding a new service in our area and I asked specifically if the cable box we were going to be getting would support that new service and I was told yes, definitely. Not so much!!! But like my granddaughter says, everything is fixable :-)

I'm going to try to get all caught up over the next couple of days, so here goes. . .

Not My Best Idea

I love everything sky-related. Last week, I stalked the International Space Station when it was visible in our area. I have seen comets, solar and lunar eclipse, the Space Shuttle both in orbit and in transit. I love looking up to the sky. And here, the meteor show was supposed to be at its peak during the early morning hours. So, I had a reason to get up early and decided to get up a couple of hours early to go outside and see if I could see anything. Now, if you remember the previous post, I have a nasty summer cold. . .and actually, I woke up earlier than I had anticipated because I was coughing uncontrollably. Got that under control and ventured outside to see what I could see. . .hindsight being what it is, that was probably not one of my best ideas!!! It was so cold and damp. . .after the temperatures got up close to 90 yesterday, who knew it would be so cold. I started coughing again and decided to come in so I wouldn't wake up the neighbors. . .and was so cold and feverish - BLECH!!! But on the plus side, I did see one meteor :-)

I have a guest coming for a couple of days, then both girls will be here for a local festival, then they will be gone, then my little guest returns for a couple of days before school starts. So, it is a busy few days ahead of me. . .and with that, I want to get all caught up on my scrapping before I get behind again, so here goes.

Miserable Monday

Well, I have a full-blown summer cold at the moment. Sure hope I didn't pass this along to our granddaughter who was here for a visit before school starts for her this week. I have taken some cold medicine and waiting to fall fast asleep. . .even though it is still morning time :-)

I am going to try to post pages as I feel up to it so here goes. . .

Tired Thursday

I have to say I am totally exhausted!!! My schedule is all off and I really need to get it back into sync in the worse way!!! Tried to get our granddaughter to go to bed early last night and I laid down with her. . .I fell asleep and then woke up at 3 am wide awake!!! UGH!!! I really wish I could sleep like a normal person. . .it would make life so much better I think. . .

But, when I am up early, I just sit and scrap so here goes. . .
