Hectic Week!!

Good Saturday morning y'all!! Spring really is here now, because the  forecast is finally showing showers for our area....nothing severe yet, just gentle soft rains today, tomorrow and Monday. We need them like this for a few days.....not a total washout for the weekend, but showers! All the blooming trees are so pretty right now, changing from the white flowers to green leaves and all the other trees are showing buds galore. The temps have been nice and some days even very warm, but a little cool down is also coming with these showers, not much....just more normal than the mid 80's we saw this past week.
I had to have the water lines replaced in my kitchen because the hot water one sprung a leak. They were old and soldered and created a real mess, so while doing that I just had a whole new stainless sink added too! (my old enamel one was really ugly because of losing enamel...LOL!) My handyman also resealed my counter top! This meant I had to unload everything from under the sink and off the counters, thus creating a chore for me to clean out and purge and clean all my little appliances before putting anything back.  Sink is beautiful, the disposal is working as is the dishwasher, the counter tops have been cleaned and polished and all looks so terrific....then, I had to redo the floor....so that meant redoing all of them. I swept, vacuumed and steam mopped before putting down some Quick Shine....that took 2 days, but the whole house is done. Since I was in a spring cleaning mood, I changed out the bedroom curtains and spread.  Washed all that I replaced, then put them in a Ziploc storage bag. Cleaned and packed away all the sweats and flannel jammies too.....steam cleaned my sofa and washed the kitty nose art off the windows.....got my gray covered and a haircut too...I got spring fever bad....ROFL.  At least all is clean for a few days!! My fur babies were upset because they thought I was moving stuff around! Now, if I can just get motivated to do my gardening....LOL!
I even ran some errands for Jan and "sat" with her for a few hours while Bill did some errands and grocery shopping.  She is still weak as water after this last weeks stay in the hospital. The visiting nurse came to see here while I was there and he thinks she is improving, very slowly, but improving! There have certainly been lots of prayers said for her. It breaks my heart that she can't get a break from all this. The radiation just totally depleted her immune system and she has nothing to fight off anything, it is just going to take time and she is not the most patient of patients!! (sound familiar?)
I did manage to do a few pages this week, but not nearly as many as I would have liked, but the days just seem to fly by so fast without me getting a lot accomplished....I think I am just slowing down way too much.
Or spending too much time spoiling my fur babies, especially Tom, he wants to be held and rocked just like a baby a lot! He will crawl up on my lap while at the computer then up on my shoulder and purr until I cradle him and rock him...spoiled you ask?....no just well loved! Right now MzKitty is above my keyboard and I think she is singing as her tail is thumping in overdrive....so is her purring.  The others have been fed and their daily wet wipe down so all are back to sleeping! What a rough life they have! LMBO!

I created this QP using Miriam's Scraps mk14. This is Amy and her sister-in-law Hannah from Christmas a couple of years ago,

Don't ya just love this photo of Ruby, Jade and Christina? I love the expressions on their faces. This is a paper by Raspberry Road Designs March Winds and some CU flowers I've had for a while.

Here's another one, but with all 3 of the kids with Mommy at the playground. I used Miriam's mk14 and am not sure who did the wordart.

This is for Amy's husband's grandmother who is fighting cancer right now. They had taken Annabeth to see her and Amy asked to make a page. I found the quote on FB and changed it to read Great Grandmother for this page. QP is from fanette mel addiction qp3

This is sweet Annabeth playing in a cute QP by Linda at Random Thoughts

Here's Mimi again with a lap full of grand-babies. This is QP3 from Miriam's Scrap kit mk14

Well that's all for right now, y'all have a great weekend and make lots and lots of memories to share. Guess I will get up and move around a bit as my shoulders are stiff now....LOL! I have been writing this off and on for about an hour and a half. (lots of interruptions...like feeding the birds...petting MzKitty....loving on Tom...answering the phone....and making another cup of coffee). Think I will go make a pan of 7-Up biscuits and have them for brunch! More next time..Hugs, Mat
