Just another day

For all you dog lovers out there, I happen to be one of them. My little poodle is all white with an attitude. Her name is Bella. And every morning we get up nice and early and go outside. She has a built in alarm that goes off at 6:40. She has to make sure she is up in time to bark at the school bus that stops at the end of our driveway. She knows when it is exactly 7:24 am. She is up on the back of the chair waiting patiently.

Sam is a beagle. A dumb one. Or smart, depending on how you want to look at it. He lives with my daughter in our duplex behind our house. Sam is basically a house dog. He does have a fenced in area with a dog house but that is not where he sleeps. It's not even where he stays the last few days! He has managed to escape the last two mornings and run, and run, and run. I have no idea where he goes but he comes home after three hours totally exhausted and in plenty of trouble. Unfortunately, his parents do not have to deal with his bad butt because they are at work. I totally think he should be named Leroy Brown (as in Bad, bad, Leroy Brown).

I will be glad when the weekend comes and they can fix the fence!

Talk about bad habits!

So you wonder where I've been? Last year was a complete lost to me! I spent a lot of hours working at Show Me Handmade at Crestwood, Mo which has now got a new name called Fusion. It has been relocated at Chesterfield Mall, Chestefield, Mo and has had a nice new facelift. I am currently a part timer as it is so far from home and I do seasonal work for the time being.

So I have been knitting, crocheting, learning to make jewelry which has not been posted on my Etsy shop. I have procrastinated taking photos of my work. I just procrastinate, period.

But I do a lot of driving to pick kids up from school, take them to church, take them to the park, push a lot of swings and in general have a good time. It's not all bad huh?

But I seem to have taken two steps back from the world and am wondering what the heck I am doing? So my goal for the rest of this year is to see what is really important to me and mine.

Hubby has not been well and that is a priority right now. We just go day to day with it. I have been reeling from all the new information I got when I took him to the pulmonary doc. Seems he has 94% blockage in his lungs and only 20% lung function. And to top all that off, they are unable to do anything for him. They say he needs a complete lung transplant but he does not qualify as he is too old.

He's tired. I'm tired for him. Maybe a little depressed. I'm sure he is. We can't go anywhere. He sleeps odd hours. He watches tv and eats, sleeps some more. This has been an on going thing for quite a few months.

So, I wonder if I should question anything? I don't know what I am suppose to do at this point? Since the docs say take your medicine and I'll see you in three months. Why? Why don't I call you if anything changes. He has trouble getting ready to go. Taking a shower and shaving is a two day affair. We actually canceled one appointment because he was too exhausted to go!

I think I'll just sleep on all this tonight. Maybe when the sun comes up, I'll be a little cheerier!
