Saturday/Sunday

Well let's see.... Saturday we stayed in bed until about 8:45am. Got up, showered, dressed and ready because we had plans to run errands.

After getting Don fixed up with something for lunch we headed out. Got something to eat at Wendy's, went by the book sale at the Heart of Texas Fairgrounds. Huge sale .... but didn't find anything we couldn't live without. Most books were so old that the info in them was way outdated. The rest (story books) just didn't grab us.

Left there for the New Mall to hit the bookstore. Found three books Adri'auna had been looking for. The Pigeon Wants A Puppy was one of them.... there were two others in the "pigeon" series. LOL There's still one she wants tho.

Visited a couple other stores out there that we needed to and then headed back to Richland Mall. Walked around there for awhile .... spotted Santa in his spot in the mall. Not sure when he came but it was probably this weekend.

Adri'auna always loved this one certain Santa there. They had a thing going on (he would blow her kisses) even before she got brave enough to go sit on his lap or talk to him. The other Santa's there she won't give the time of day.... "They aren't the real one!!!" lol

We went past him and I asked if she wanted to go talk to him .... she refused. Said she didn't want to go see Santa this year. I haven't a clue what brought that on. She's always loved him. All of her pics with Santa have been with him.

There weren't many there to see him so I thought it would be the perfect time to go but .... she's having no part of it this year.

Maybe the closer it gets she'll change her mind but I don't know. Whatever reason she has for not wanting to see him might last through until Christmas. You just can never tell with her.

After the Mall we went to Furniture Row. We haven't been there in ages. We used to go there once or twice a week for awhile. The guys there remembered us .... all of them said Hi and chatted for abit. It was nice but our fave guy (Will) is no longer there and going there just isn't the same without him around.

Then we headed home. Got Adri'auna some supper, got Don something and Jamie and I weren't hungry so we didn't eat. Lunch filled me up and I had no desire to even look at food last night.

So the day was a pretty good one all in all. No huge issues.

Today .... that's another story. A got me up at 8am. I took my shower, got dressed and fully intended to have a good day.

All he!! broke loose about an hour later and lasted most of the day. Adri'auna was acting crazy ... Jamie was being nuts .... even Don had to come out and get in the middle of things ..... so I had had enough and I left.

Yes'm .... I got my purse and walked out. I have had it with the insanity that is in this house some days and so I went to the grocery store. Got Don's pills .... got a few groceries and after wandering around abit .... I came back home.

By then things had calmed considerably.... thank goodness. Because if not I was going to turn back around and be gone until about 10pm. Let them fight it out amongst themselves.

I cooked supper and we all ate. Things were fine.

After supper I agreed to sit and watch tv with Adri'auna and while we were sitting there she fell asleep. So by 6:45pm she was snoring. lol

I shut off the tv and left her there to come over here for awhile. I will get her up and put her into the bedroom in alittle bit and come back out to do the supper dishes and iron clothes.

After that .... it depends on how I feel.... I might read for awhile or be on the computer or I might just go to bed myself.

Days like today just frustrate the heck out of me and make me feel horrible. My chest was pounding when I left here today and didn't stop until about 2 hours after I came back. It is NOT fun to deal with the stress in this house most days.

Before I left I pointed out to all three of them (Jamie, Adri'auna AND Don) that I don't HAVE TO be here. I can up and leave at anytime and let them just wallow in whatever they desire. I am the one person who does not HAVE TO stay.... so maybe they had better think about that fact when they are having their fits in the future.

I doubt that it sunk in very far but maybe it will put just the tiniest seed of doubt in their minds from now on.

Anyway.... now I'm off to check forums, etc and then go put A into bed. Luckily I gave her a bath this afternoon so I don't have to worry about that tonight.

Friday

I'm sooooo glad it's Friday. This getting up at 6am is killing me this week. I'm getting old or something.... lol.

I've been thinking about things alot lately ..... stuff with the owner and this house, stuff with Don, stuff with my truck, stuff medically (for myself), stuff with Adri'auna ...... just general stuff in there too.

Christmas is coming soon and I want to enjoy it and not have alot of worries and things spoiling it for me.

I am trying to get some of these dolls I have out of here. So far I have quite afew gone but still have more left to go.

I also listed a few things that I need to sell to get them gone.

I need to figure out how to generate some money to get my meds for the next 90 days (I'll worry about the following 90 days later).

I need to have a tooth pulled that I have been waiting to have done for about 18 months now. Yup..... no joke. Thank goodness it hasn't really been bothering me.

I need to have some work done on my truck. There is a sensor that is giving me issues. The sensor controls the rpms, etc. NOT a good thing to have go out.

I still have to worry about all those bills from my hospital stay last month. It was VERY expensive. And, of course, Don has his cardiologist and urologist to pay as well as his hospital bill.

It's just one thing after another around here and I'm getting depressed just thinking about it all.

I just had to complete paperwork for a "review of disability benefits" for Don. Now I'm doing paperwork for his Medicare. If either or both of those stop .... he/we are dead. He has gotten even worse since being approved for disability originally but you just never know.

Now we have to add the fact that we are going to be moving ...... again..... about 4 months from now. In between is Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I have to get rid of a bunch of things. Some of it is stuff I don't want to part with .... prims, my windows, shutters, etc, etc. Lots of things. Makes me sad to even consider giving them up but I am faced with no choice.

We'll be having a yardsale before we move. I have to really get busy and start pulling things out and re-arranging the garage so that we can sell items from it. What a pain this is going to be.

I've just had alot on my mind lately and I'm not finding solutions for most of it. I'm trying not to stress about things because all that will do is affect my health and it's just not worth it.

It's been a hazy (almost foggy) day here so far. Not sure what is up with the weather. I don't think it's going to rain but I don't know for sure. It's cooler than it has been.

Anyway..... I have things around here I need to get done yet. Gotta get busy.

Thursday and "Any interest?"

Wow... this week is just flying by.

Got up .... a few minutes before the alarm went off. Got showered, dressed and ready to go. Got Adri'auna up and ready.

Watched some tv with her. Got her lunch together, grabbed her book-bag and off we went. A few minutes later than normal but still in good time.

Got her there and chatted with some folks .... got her into class with no issues. (A record for her!!!) and I headed to HEB for some last minute things for supper and some meds.


Got home, unpacked and put things away and started two loads of laundry. One is hung, the other is washing.

Now I need to get busy sweeping and mopping and so on. Have plenty to do ... just no gumption to get it done yet. I'm not real motivated ... lol.


I wanted to see if there might be some interest in the following items. I have some ragged quilts, table runners and some prairie bonnets at bargain prices. These are all brand new .... made and stored away .... items. Christmas is coming and I thought now was a good time to offer them.


I need to get my prescription filled for my A-Fib meds and I need a tooth pulled at the dentist not to mention a sensor changed in my truck.... so I could use the money these might generate.

See photos below and just let me know if you find anything you want. (I am not listing prices on these as depending on how many items you are interested in, I can give you an even better deal than on single ones. It just depends.)

Thanks bunches!!!

Wednesday

Middle of the week. I was hoping it would be a good day.

Got up .... although I didn't want to. Sure could have used a couple extra hours. Showered, dressed and got ready.

Got Adri'auna up and ready to go and we sat watching abit of tv until time to leave.

Headed out the door and got to school. She went in with some extra hugs and kisses and made it without crying. I thought she was going to a time or two but she made it. lol

I left there and ran by HEB (grocery store) to get a few things. Then home to get some things done there.

Headed out for lunch with a friend. Had a good time. It was nice to get out of the house for awhile.

Then I headed back to the grocery store (different HEB) to get more groceries and then home to drop them off.

A short stay at the house and then it was time to leave to get Adri'auna at school. Afterwards we went to Mayborn Museum for awhile. She had fun.

Headed home again. This time for good.

Jamie called and since nobody wanted the chicken I had planned for supper she decided to order pizza. LOL

So I didn't cook at lunch and didn't cook supper either. What's not to like about that?? lol

Adri'auna and I watched the movie UP after supper. It's a cute movie. Saw it in the theatre and Jamie bought it when it came out yesterday.

After it was over it was past Adri'auna's bedtime and she was getting grumpy and weepy so it was into bed for her.... over her tears and protests. She crashed though and I came out here.

I put two loads of laundry in .... hung abit of it and put the rest in the dryer. I will have to take that out before bed.

Tomorrow I will get all the dolls out that everyone has spoken for, get them boxed up and ready to take to the post office to get shipping quotes.

I'm glad to see my dolls are going to good homes. That makes me feel good.

Adri'auna requested two of them so I gave them to her .... and she is taking them to show & tell at school on Friday. That is just too cute!! lol

Anyway.... that was my day (the short version). It was pretty good for the most part.
