Hi all,
This is the day before Valentine's Day. The last post I wrote was October? The cookies for Christmas was a pre-written post. Here is the mini update
We settled on the house we bought thanksgiving week. We moved thanksgiving weekend. My sister and a sister in law did the cooking for the holiday. We spent 2 weeks waist deep in boxes in just the kitchen. As soon as boxes were emptied, they were replaced with fresh ones waiting. My mother in law moved home from the care facility she was recuperating in in early December. She was a great help in thinking of the details that escaped me. Hubby and son moved stuff and moved stuff and moved stuff until we wondered if things were being brought in from the streets. But no, it was all ours.
Christmas was only because of our son. He was the only one who was able to find the time to decorate and shop. The only person we bought for was granddaughter and I got 1 thing for mother in law. Hubby started the renovations we needed to make for a handicapped bathroom the day before Christmas. My sister did the cooking for Christmas.
We had a lot of help with moving and unpacking from hubby's family. I give thanks for them every day.
Many boxes still wait to be unpacked. They are not the ones of daily living though, more like once a month or so. The clothes that were used to cushion the breakables are slowly being found.
I have done next to no knitting or crocheting or designing. I get up early to do the things to get the day rolling and keep going until after hubby gets home from work around midnight. I set a few goals for each day and usually get sidetracked.
This weekend is a knitting retreat. I'm teaching there. I'm only getting swatches done.
I have vowed that no one is leaving this house to move to another. I don't want to ever move again. For those of you who do it every year or two, I don't envy you.
And now I have a meal to prepare, a son to wake for work after not getting enough sleep, a mother in law to check on, a toddle to check on...….
