FIRST TRIP BACK TO MI

My grandson Zander and I arrived back in MI earlyMonday afternoon. As usual with him was full of little comments and observations.
I also came home with all of the laundry his mom had saved up..........must have been at least a month's worth. I just finished it up. That won't happen again. The laundry will get done weekly if I have to do it myself. She also hates to do dishes so I wash them too, although we really don't cook.
In between I wrote checks for my mother's bills and filled both her and my dad's pill boxes for the next 35 days. When I get back to Ohio I will go to the bank and set up an auto pay system to take care of the bills. I am so tired of writing out checks. And they are not for frivolous things, just monthly bills, doctor bills etc. The dr. bills are outrageous even for copays. And then there are the meds........dad retired from a company that refuses to let us use the local drugstore to fill perscriptions. I have to send for them and it's a real headache. Not to mention the phone calls to make sure the refills get here.
Zander went with me to the beauty shop to get my perm redone because the one I had last month didn't take. I wasn't the only one that had to be redone. He amused my stylist a lot and got his haircut too. After that it was to the library for some dvds to watch while eating his Happy Meal from McDonald's.
So he's occupied and I am finishing up the laundry. Then it's some relaxing time with my stitching!!!!!
My Christ on the Cross is coming along nicely. If I can ever figure out what is wrong with the NEW CAMERA I bought just 2 MONTHS AGO I'll post a picture of my progress.
Back to Ohio tomorrow afternooon. Then back to the work routine on Thursday.

About Me

My photo
MI, United States
I am an Aries born on April 1st. College educated and a Marine veteran of the Viet Nam era. Nothing spectacular to say about my life other than I have survived this long because I have a wicked sense of humor that has gotten me through hard times along with the fact that I am a strong woman. I don't give up easily. I love to cross stitch as you can see by some of my work displayed here. Reading is a favorite past time. I enjoy traveling and exploring out of the way places. Most of all I enjoy spending time with my 2 favorite boys Zander who is 5 and his brother Jr. who is 2. They are intelligent, funny and loving. And now they have a new baby sister named Izabella who, I'm sure, will educated them in the art of getting along with girls. If I had a chance to do my life over I wouldn't because I would miss out on having these 3 grandchildren to love. I hope that I can be a part of their lives for many more years to come. I plan on living life to the fullest means possible and hope I can stay healthy enough to do some of the things that I want to.
