Happy Homemaker 2025-03-03

Good morning 

DH spent the week sick with a cold - he went to clinic and they gave him a cortisol spray but nothing else saying it has to do its time... so this morning I am starting to feel sick... hope it passes quickly.

DS was away for work a few days and ddil kept grandkids at home and teleworked as Anne-E had fever a few days too.  Normally we would've kept them here but ddil did not ask because she new grandpa was sick too.

Saturday Xavier arrived for lunch (Anne-E wanted to stay with her mom).  DS, ddil and Anne-E went to town and bought their flooring for kitchen renovations.  All came here for supper.  Xavier sleptover and dh took him back home Sunday before lunch.

I managed to do quite a bit during the weekend too... not dh he has a man-cold.

Upcoming this week

Tuesday - In-town work

Next weekend renovations start at ds' house.  dh will go.  I might go with Xavier to his ice skating class and keep him here, but we'll see as one of his cousins will be at their house.  So might not accomplish much here next weekend.

From the camera

Xavier wanted grandma to color with him, we played games and baked cookies too.
