• Lists, Snow, & Birthday

  I'm working off of three lists, actually four lists if you count the grocery list!  My medical list, my To Do List (my second brain on paper!), my cleaning lady list, and the grocery list.

  I slept great last night and my headache is gone.  All I have is some tenderness in my back, right below the neckline.  It's something I can live with and I'd say I'm back to 98%.

                           
                                                      (oops!)

  I need to take a bath and wash my hair before I go to my general physician's appointment.  Just a recheck to see how I'm doing since he changed around some medications.  I'll probably need lab work.  Luci will too.  She is on a medication (for her temper tantrums) that could possibly harm her liver.  So, Momma AND Luci will have the ol' stick in the arm!

  Last night, I got the ribbons and bows on Rissy's gifts.  I began to panic (not really!) because I so easily forget things.  I know these next few days will be busy and I was afraid of forgetting something important - like baking Rissy's cake or frosting it.  Or, forgetting to take the steaks out of the freezer for her birthday dinner.

                                    
                                                        Not sure what happened, here. 
                          The packages are light pink, and pink gingham with a pink bow and a white bow.
                                              It looks like my flash didn't go off, but it did!

  Then, I remembered . . . that's why I keep a spiral notebook and pen by my bed - it's my brain!  I've started adding things to my list of "don't forget" things and I'm sure there is more I've already forgotten.

  Caught some pictures of Chirper being a stealth figure checking out my bath tub.  He doesn't want *IN* it, just likes poking his nose *around* it and all my stuff!

         
   
  Speaking of pets, Jesse took Little Bit to be neutered today.  We will pick him up tomorrow morning.  We're supposed to have rain moving in tonight and changing to snow tomorrow through Saturday morning.  Another front will be moving in Sunday and another one in the middle of next week.

  Stephanie and JanaLyn are coming Friday afternoon.  Stephanie wants to give Rissy her birthday present, and then JanaLyn will spend the night and be picked up by her Dad Saturday late morning.  Rissy has "a lunch date" (her words) with her dad on Saturday.  We'll have her steak dinner in the evening and that's when she can open gifts from us.

   

  I sure hope the Friday snow doesn't keep JanaLyn from being able to come and spend the night.  The girls are really looking forward to it.  I'm finally feeling strong enough to take on the care of a 4th little girl!!!

             

  In fact, I recently invited my friend (Lori K) and her family to spend a few days with us, when they come this way to go to church camp in June.  She has 5 children of her own and I'm so excited about filling our house with company again and most excited to be close to Lori.  She's just one of those friends who is like family.  The girls were VERY excited about Lori's family coming, too.

  
  I have a pot of pinto beans simmering on the stove.  Before we leave for our appointments, I'll transfer them and the remainder of our ham on a bone to the Crock Pot and pray they finish cooking in time for dinner tonight.

  By the way:  The ravioli and meatball baked dish was EXCELLENT last night.  A keeper recipe!

  Time for that bath I need!

  Be Blessed  ~
