Insanity

Oh the insanity of it all. Well it probably isn't all that. But maybe a little.

There is a lot happening around here.

Mom in law has her surgery this week. This will create a fistula in her arm. They will take a vein and an artery and sew them together making a loop. After a few months they will be able to use this site to do her dialysis and take the port out of her chest. Much safer and much more convenient. And then she will be able to take a full shower. Right now she can't get the port wet.

My big girl is becoming more and more independent and we are seeing less and less of her it seems. She is out and about with friends and searching for work since she isn't really interested in going to college right now. It is strange watching my fledgling fly.

The new room is finally starting to look like a room. The walls are all up and the primer is on. We are getting the real color today and then we can start putting things where they belong. I might be getting my house to look normal here pretty soon! And since the walls are up, I can start putting things where they belong on my side of the wall. I'm having fun trying to figure it all out. Soon there will be space to build this:

that I found here http://ana-white.com/2010/09/and-the-craft-table-too.html . Well sort of like that. Mine is going to use some shelves I already have and not be as wide. And the inside part will be bins to store onions and potatoes. That's the plan any way.

Speech club is starting to go to the qualifying rounds and that means really polishing up what we are doing. And we are still trying to find something that will work for interpretive duo that hasn't been done to death already.

My daughter is out of her cast and is starting to walk like a normal person almost. We get to visit the doctor this week and go from the walking boot to a brace. Another chance to spend copay money.

We are having an important guest coming at the end of the month and my house really needs to get really clean. I may actually breakdown and hire someone. I'm going to hire out the yard work. And I need a new front screen door.

And I need a new windshield. And to adjust my insurance now that I actually own my car (YAY!)

But the most important thing to do is get started on my taxes. I hate doing taxes. Really, really, really hate doing my taxes. That flat tax thing that people not in the government talk about is really appealing to me just so I won't have to file a schedule C for anything. Yeah, well it's a nice dream anyway.

And there are 2 birthdays this month.

Yup, all in all, insanity.

p.s. I just read that you are only supposed to space once after a period. This has really messed with my head.
