So last few days have been a little nutty around my house. My dd had her wisdom teeth pulled and so the family has been pitching in. The surgery went very well, she is recovering slowly but that is be expected. We have been watching the grand girls and boy. Yesterday I have to say I was down to break down cause I was one very pooped Nana. So Nana went and took a nap.
That made life a bit better. Today she has chipmunk cheeks and thankfully they aren't so chubby!!!!!!

I have been attempting to finish mini aprons, a swap that I have been doing on MaryJanes Farm with some great and amazing gals. They make me laugh and have been a good support system for me as well. We are all in different places in our lives but sharing them makes the challenges easier. It doesn't change the curcumstances but it does help in walking out our journeys.

Today it cooled down and rained like cats and dogs here. We have had unusually warm weather for the last 4 days. We don't have upper 80's until July and we had them this weekend. My body was not a happy camper for some of it. Slowly being able to climatize does work better for this girl. But I have to say the sunshine was glorious. So this morning I got up to warmer temps and then is started raining. Do ya know the smell the comes with a fresh rain after a hot spell, how the earth drinks up the moisture and the delightful smell that comes with it. I took a short walk, squished my shoes in the puddles, smiled big, twirled around, spring is so here. I am so so grateful. It also means I didn't have to do the watering for the yard and my neighbors that I am watching. Double good for me.

Kitty adventures here. I have two kitties that are new to my house. They are part siamese and alley cat. A tamed alley cat that got into the house and got mama Zoe who was a rescue siamese. She only comes to the new owner and it took her 6 months to be able to get near her and have her let her pet here. Talk about patient. It was dd high school friend and she wanted to make sure they got good homes. So I now have a boy and a girl. They give quite the adventures at times. I have my minis aprons on mini clotheslines in my sewing room window. They have discovered them, and figured out how to get them off the clothesline and then get to play with them. Stinkers they are. Right now Chloe is sound asleep on my arm as I type, and Buster is curled up with Lucy and Dudette our two small dogs. You should hear them all running up and down the hall here, skidding into each other and taking off like 60 again. Pets sure can make your day.

It is taking those fun times, enjoying them, letting them make you laugh. There is also taking the moments and laughing at yourself. Because let's face it we are rather hilarious at times.
Our own antics can be as goofy as the animals. Like talking away to my hubby and putting the cereal in the frig and the milk in the cupboard. He was looking at me and goes," Honey, are you sure you want to do that.?" I was wondering what he was talking about. I said, "Yeah". Then he opened the fridge and I went "OH" , started laughing and fixed it back to normal. Hey I never said I was normal.

So take some time and enjoy yourself, that includes havin a good laugh!!!!!!

I too have been known to put things in odd places! I have 3 kitties indoors, and one is part siamese. She's SO different from the other two. It's amazing how cats/pets each have their own little personalities. I tend to talk to them when I'm alone. LOL

By the way, naps are a good thing!
