Update on My Life
Posted by heitzqp on November 14, 2009
Well as you all know, the busy holiday season is nipping at our heels, and I have had little time to breathe lately, much less write.
Starting a couple weeks ago, I’ve been involved in helping to move two family members. My mother and my niece are switching houses. So, for over a week, I had been feeding all of them every night for dinner. Then for three nights, my niece and her husband were staying at my house.
Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mind helping out. It’s just that when you get used to having a house to yourself most of the time (my hubby and I have no kids except for our little furry children), it gets very stressful when all of a sudden there is always someone there. Anyhow, that has ended for now and I am feeling a little less overwhelmed.
Before this started, found out mother-in-law, who lives in MA, had to have a triple bypass. She got through surgery splendidly, but ended up in a crappy rehab place that let her get dehydrated, a UTI and an infection starting in her incision. Now she’s back in hospital, but should be fine in no time. Still stressful though. I will be glad when she goes home.
In the middle of all the moving (which is still going on in the way that I am alternating helping mom and niece unpack everything now), my hubby thought it might be a good idea if we painted the new office for the insurance producer I work for. Now, don’t get me wrong, I really wouldn’t mind doing it under normal circumstances, but of course, it had to fall right smack, dab in the middle of everything else that is going on.
I haven’t had any time to write the past couple weeks with trying to keep up with helping everyone and keeping the house decent and laundry done (which I think I’m failing miserably at). I have about thirty hours of taped shows that I will probably never get to, and I haven’t gotten to read in over two weeks.
Tomorrow I have to work half a day at the craft store I sell my candles out of. By, the way, I’m going to quit that and making candles at the end of the year, cause I can’t keep up.
Then tomorrow afternoon either helping mom or back to painting the new office.
Hubby has a horrible tooth infection and had to go to ER last night.
He needs to get better so he can get back to helping me paint. lol.
So I’ve been a little stressed lately, but things will start getting better soon I hope.
