Wow, where does time go??? I can't believe I haven't been here since November. Things have been spinning out of control. Since November there have been a lot of changes in my life!
It appears that my husband and I are now officially in Alabama, at least temporarily! Since the first of the year my husband has only been in Michigan for 4 days and I have been there about 12. I've been there longer only because my new grand-daughter was born two weeks ago and I went home for a week to welcome her to the world. He stayed behind to work. Yes, work. He's now working in Alabama and I also have a job here. And I do mean a job!!!! It is nothing but work. Last week I worked 5 days and four of them were 10-12 hour days! Not bad for a part-time, one day a week job, huh?
I have not been getting much sewing done, either. I did manage to complete a diaper bag for Mailey (my new grand-daughter) but that's all. Since I've been back here we have had house guests for all but 4 days and then I was working, so no time for sewing. I finally got 1 month's worth of laundry done today. My washer kept spewing water onto the floor so I was busy wiping the floor most of the day. That's one way to get the floor cleaned I guess. I went yesterday to buy groceries for the first time and about 3 weeks. That was a budget cruncher for sure!!
Our house in Michigan is just sitting there now, holding our stuff and costing us money, lots of money. Know anybody who would like to buy a nice house on a lake? I can make you a deal that you can't refuse :0)
Since my last posting I have lost my 15 year old kitty. She passed away just before Thanksgiving. I'm getting so I really hate Thanksgiving. Two years ago I had to have my dog put to sleep the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, just 1 week after I had a cat walk away from the house and not return. This year my favorite kitty of all time passed away exactly 1 week before Thanksgiving. I have since acquired a 7 year old kitty that I adopted rather than have her end up at the shelter. And before I acquired her I had committed to a friend that I would take one of her kittens that her adopted cat had. Now, I have two kitties and all they do is fight! The old one just wants to be bossy and lay around all the time and the little one just wants to play all the time. Kitt is the grumpy, bossy old lady and Snapple is the playful little one. Both of them are just beautiful!! As soon as I have some time I will post some pictures.
It's finally starting to warm up a little bit...maybe we'll get some spring afterall. Last night my husband and I was sitting on the pier and we saw several turtles swimming in the water, so there's hope yet!
