sleepy day

I spent the day trying to get ready for my bridge four-some tomorrow, however, I was fighting sleep all day. I have been trying not to drink much coffee because of the caffeine. I had to give in this evening and have a cup of joe.

I think I have everything done, but this is really too much work...we should really be going out for lunch. We had tried it once, but Dixie did not want to do it. Anyway, Sandra will be moving soon and then I think we will abandon our little group.

The Dr.'s office called to say I needed more thyroid med...maybe that is why I am so tired all the time.

I obsessed about that crazy Mary Englebreight pillow and I still can't find it. I hate to think of all the time I waste looking for things that I put away and can't remember where I put them....Hmmmm it does bother me.

Margie and Max were here for a short time today. Max seemed so happy..and Margie is cute with her new work clothes on. I have been used to seeing her in shorts and t-shirts.

summer time

It is still a hot summer, but I did see some leaves falling today. That is a good sign that we will soon have fall and not soon enough for me. This has been a very hot summer. We have had a busy summer with company and then a trip to Cincinnati last month.

Gary has gone to Jake's soccor game and then to see him mom at the home. This will be another busy week. Tomorrow is WW and then swim classes start. Friday I have bridge here at my house. I wonder how long we will meet, as Sandra is moving to AZ. as soon as the house sells.

On Friday Gary and I went to OakBrook and I think I have made a final decision on my dress for the wedding...I always like to have the option of returning if i find something I like better. Gary got his beloved I-Pad and has been playing ever since. He likes toys as much as I like clothes!! We are a pair!!!

Seems we will not be going anywhere any time soon, as his sister will be gone for the winter to AZ. and we will have to stay here with his mother.

I am looking forward to seeing Maggie and Joe and also Joe O. over labor day.

Facebook???

Beth is home...Margie is going to the Cubs game. I hope we get along okay with Stuart.

Gary home already???? He repaired the faucet in the bathroom that was leaking and I fixed the bed skirt in spare bedroom.

Today is Chris' birthday, and he is 49 years old. He was born on a Sat. and was the biggest baby in the nursery weighing in at 10 lb 1 1/2 oz.

It is very warm and humid today...Heat index of 115 deg. I hope it cools down soon. We are lucky to have AC.

later...I am going to try facebook again.

Sunday struggle

We went to church this a.m. and out to lunch, came home and watched an old video of Maggie and Jane when they were at Franklin. It really does not seem that long ago, but really it has been 12 years.

Today I am struggling with the thoughts of why we are still in this house. I look around and I love what I see and I would be sad to leave. Everyday there are so many things that need to be done that we either don't have time...or money or ambition to do. Perhaps we would be better in a smaller place, but then how would we get along...as we are rarely together in the house...hmmmm. There are way....too many "things" in this house. This too shall pass....stay tuned...I think looking down the road to 75 and 80 years of age...are we really likely to be able to do even what we do today...which isn't much. Vern mowed the yard today and we haven't even had time to get the car washed since we returned from Cincinnati.

Gary is taking Jake to the stock car races tonight...I think I will stay home. Jake will stay overnight, but needs to go home early, as Gary works and I am going to WW in the morning.

Well, I think I will go watch Clint Eastwood for awhile....

Moving day

Maggie and Joe moved everything out of the basement today heading for Urbana in a U-haul truck. It takes me back in time.....you know how you never forget some things....I will never forget as our "home" was slowly headed down the street also headed for Urbana, the words...."it's Holy Water"!!! Gary has had to put up with all my old memories lately as Maggie embarks on another chapter of her life.

We have had a busy day...we went over to Margie's house, since she is out of town and let Stuart out. He is something for such an old dog!!!

Then we went to Panera's for bagels and then the kids and moving.....Joe's mother and sister were here to help, also Lexie's husband, and of course Jane. She looked so cute today and glad she is feeling better.

Jake comes tomorrow and Gary is taking him to the races. Olivia will come over on Mon. and we will go shopping for lip gloss!!!!

They will all be starting school soon and we won't see them very much. I always think the time goes really fast from Aug until Christmas. It will be different this year ,...with Maggie with Joe and Beth and Joe in AZ. I am happy for both. One day at a time....

Thurs.

Beth left for Az today. Gary went to work. Maggie did not come in time to move boxes and Jane is sick. I talked with Chris for awhile. I hope he will be coming this way soon.

I made brownies and lemon bars. Gary and I went to the airport to pick up Beth's car. It is not so humid today. I ordered a pair of gold shoes today. I must remember to pick up my shoes tomorrow at the shoe hospital.

Gary's mom called and wants me to make an appt for her at the eye dr. She has a broken blood vessel. Not sure if they can do anything for that, but I will call.

I have my twitch back in my left eyelid. I better start drinking the tonic water again. I am really good about caffeine and choc, but I sure don't like the tonic water.

More later,

Pat

Hi,

The weather radio I gave Gary for his birthday, nearly scared us out of bed at 2 a.m. this morning. I think there was a storm. That thing has to go into another room. I used to sleep through thunder storms.

I went to the Y this a.m. and then to pay taxes and to the grocery store. Margie, Max, and Beth are coming for burgers tonight. I have had my nap and now should start something for dinner.

Lesley and kids were here this morning. We were trying to find a time for them to sleep over, but everyone is so busy....us included...maybe Sun. night.

It is still hot and humid and not much sunshine. My knee seems a little better....but have been taking a lot of aleve. Maggie comes tomorrow to move her things to the garage.

Beth leaves for AZ tomorrow and Joe will be here on Labor day.

I better get busy......

Since the computer crashed, I did not get to write about my tragedy with my tooth!!! OMG!!!

It was terrible.....I will write later.

Mom
