Happy Homemaker 2024-02-12

Good morning 

Health:  Eyes are still watering and a little itchy but antibiotics drops for 7 days are over so we'll see how it goes in the next few days.  Gut is so-so depends on the days.

Grandchildren:  Had supper & stayed to sleepover on Thursday night as parents worked in town and both had happy hours to go to.  Friday they came over with parents for supper.

We went to see my parents last weekend - was not in the plans as they had ice-fishing with sis and brothers but all was cancelled with warm temperatures and rain.  I wanted to go soon so why not right away (and ddil asked us to babysit next Saturday which was the weekend I had in mind for going).  Mom forgot who I was for a few minutes... asked me what I did for work and if I had children.  When I named them she remembered and came back to the present.  I had brought lunch.  Sis and brothers all had supper with us and parents on Saturday so that was really nice.  We got 4 bags of stuff out of the house over the weekend and all has been thrown away, given to thrift store or given away to those who wanted it).  I did keep one small Christmas ornament and a Christmas vase.

This morning is picking up and doing SOME stuff from the long to-do list I had over the weekend which did not get done and LOTS  of laundry.

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

Looking around the house
Lots to do .. full Valentine vibes are on.

Thinking and pondering
Want to do lots of spring-cleaning in coming weeks.
Wondering if I will do Easter here for the whole family... or let it slide by.  Parents are not doing it this year.  Dad says mom doesn't want anybody in the house and it's just too much for them.

  1. Wow ,you are definitely experiencing winter! Our groundhog didn’t see his shadow and the flowers are peeking up from the ground. I hope you do have the family in for Easter and share with them the true meaning of what Easter is all about. It is the most important concept of all time. Sending valentine hugs! Schotzy

  3. Hope your eyes are better. And I understand about your parents maybe it's time for a new tradition.

  4. Hello dear Lucie!
    I pray for healing completely with that annoying eye stuff. It continues to be weirdly mild here too and melty. Big hugs - I know how difficult it is having a loved one go in and out of not knowing you. I'm thinking Easter thoughts too! It's so early this year. Blessings on your week. xoxo

  5. Sure hope you catch a break on the health scene soon. Loving your funny! Explains my mood lately too. I had so many plans for this spring that will now be postponed due to a cross country trip for my uncle's memorial. Prayers for your mom and your family - such a diffuicult disease to deal with. Have a GREAT weekend.
