I plan to blog yesterday. But I was dragging though most of the day. I took the wrong set of medication. I took my evening pills in morning. I did mange to do my usually chores.
I had set bounds with my son when it comes to watching the kids. I told him, that I would be willing to come down for three weeks. And then I will go back home for two weeks. If needed Grandpa or I would come back for anther three weeks.
Actual I would like to figure how both Murphy and I could go down the same time. We worry about someone squatting in our home. The closes house is empty. Then the next closes place is a quarter mile away.
Going to my youngest Granddaughter Bree birthday tomorrow. Not sure if Murphy going or not. He been having issue with asthma. Personally I think he should go to the doctor, and get around of steroid or a shot. But majority of the time, one can only suggest. After the senior center I will come back and wrap up the birthday present. I will stop in at the thrift store , and find birthday card. Usually they're under .50¢. I find price of cards ridiculous. I need also stop at bank and get $20. For Grand children birthday we're donating $20 for them to get there book printed and or publish.
The other day I was mowing the lawn, and ran over a chain. And it got sucked up in the blade area. Last time Murphy mowed the lawn, he did the same thing. I even went and picked up the other chain, and for some reason, I didn't see the other one. Got one of the boxes that was full of bedding done, under the stairs. Monday I will move on to anther box.
Now for the good news. I notice someone is moving into the place next door. Notice a kid walking across the drive way. We don't leave all that much. But hopefully when we're gone they can watch our place, and pick up our mail.
Coffee is on
...I can relate, our mower is still in the shop!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought of putting your house on Airbnb while you go to look after your grandkids? I don't know if you'd have any takers in your area, but maybe?
ReplyDeleteI applaud you for setting boundaries around babysitting. I see way too many older people in my age group being endlessly used as free babysitters.
ReplyDeleteWhy are there chains on your lawn? Can you rake the lawn before mowing?
ReplyDeleteI hope three weeks at a time isn't too much for you, the travel time can be tiring too, though I know you are younger than me. I know I couldn't do it, I can manage a few hours with the twins once a week and their mother is still there the whole time too!
It would be nice if your new neighbours can keep an eye on your house and get your mail.
Can't the mother take care of the kids?
ReplyDeleteDoes that happen much? Squatting? We have left our house for six months and no one got in
ReplyDeleteThat is very concerning if it’s a definite thing.
I get my medication packed into daily portions each labeled morning and evening. It’s been so much easier since starting this
Happy birthday to Bree. praying for Murphy
ReplyDeleteSummer is fast approaching, maybe the kids could come stay with you? We are fortunate to have a couple of neighbors who watch our place and pick up the mail when we are away. My car had to be moved, and one of them knew were the keys were and moved it for me (the building is being painted outside.)
ReplyDeleteThree weeks with grandma will be delightful for the youngsters - no yelling, lots of hugs, all the play they want and dinner will be relaxed. Good on you, grandma.
ReplyDeleteGoing to have a kid nextdoor. Great.
ReplyDeleteHaving neighbours can be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better today. It's so easy to mix things up when you're distracted. Good news on the new neighbour. Happy birthday to Bree. 🎂
ReplyDeleteYes, you should not let your son take advantage of your kindness. I hope the asthma plays nice soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are busy glad you set boundaries with your son he has to find help closer by
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of the kids coming to you is excellent. The chain must have really messed up the mower.
ReplyDeleteBe careful with meds!
ReplyDeleteHoping your new neighbors turn out to be helpful. People can be so unpredictable in these times. Happy belated birthday to Bree. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteOh goodness! Take care with your medication!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if your new neighbours can keep an eye on your house.
All the best Jan
