Catching Up

It seems we are forever behind in everything no matter what, but maybe that further compels us to keep pedalling forward. I'm not sure some days. My husband brought home even more laundry than I did from the camping trip. He stripped the bed & brought in all the blankets too. Ugh. I was too sick to go to the most recent 2 home football games to support Big Z & feel bad about that. I missed Dolly's powder-puff game to attend a meeting for parents with students graduating high school this year. I also missed Boog (6 1/2 yr old ) getting to wrestling practice the first week. I did get to see my two oldest at-home children in their outfits for the home-coming dance & they looked absolutely lovely. Big Z had a date for the dance & Dolly went with her girlfriends.

As of late, we are all feeling better virus wise. I received an unexpected package in the mail from my uncle, the oldest surviving member of my father's side of the family. It was photos of my father when he was a baby with my Grandfather, also photos of my father from the war & his school year book! It was just amazing to see the process that was gone through to create these books, the pages were typed then folded in half at the top to make two-sided pages & the photos were individually glued into position. I can't imagine doing this for an entire graduating class, wow! There was a news article about my father being promoted to first lieutenant in the war, he flew B25 bombers on strafing missions in WWII. The package was such a nice surprise. I use to love surprises, now it seems I am fearful of them & I opened the package with trepidation fearful of bad news. It sort of makes me wonder where the fun-me disappeared to?
Speaking of fun, Crash has invited me onto his top bunk to watch cartoons with him a few times now & I've done so. More recently I've told him it's just way too hard for mommy to get up there so we watch on the bottom bunk which is a futon couch & quite comfy. Cartoons with a little guy or movies can be quite fun. Better than cleaning Sunny's bird cage that's for sure! I can attest to that after having done so this morning. The novelty of the some of the spilled bird seed in the cage actually having sprouted into grass from Sunny flipping his water dish over & watering it, not to mention the free fertilizer, well, the novelty just had worn off. Yuck. Nice & clean now though! I've finally gotten Loca, the African Gray to stop ringing like a phone by telling her "Wrong number Loca" Thank goodness, it is so annoying. Another fun thing was watching my 6 1/2 yr old & a large number of other kids at wrestling club last night! It was Boog's first time there, having missed the first 2 practices but he did pretty well. His partner, I was told by his gramma, had thought it would be like WWF style & wanted to know where his costume was & if they'd play a drum for him to come in with & he needed a nick-name! They did well & Boog really enjoyed it. We are hoping it will help our human tooth-pick of a child to build some muscle & good paying-attention skills as well. Very fun. I've been trying to add in photos to these blogs the last few days but some error is preventing me from sharing them with you, my apologies.
Well, Dear Readers, thank you for your support & Be Blessed! Have a beautiful day & find a way to have fun!
