Another rainy day...

I think this is 3 in a row... But I will be in the sunshine soon....OOOOHHHH something new to complain about!

I loved Pat's pictures and I was glad she made it to the home place... No matter where I have lived that has always been home to me...That is one reason I really wanted to move back there...Move home.. You know when I am there I am not Kris's, Missy's, or Bill's Mom...Or any one's Granny I am just Helen Powell again....I kind of like that..

Today I have a sore throat...I hope it goes away...soon....I have a DR's appointment the day after I hit Az (Monday) But for me, if I am getting sick, that is a long way off... I can go from being a little sick to needing urgent care in just 2 days....Honestly, I have gone into a Dr's office sick as a dog and they ask, "How long have you been sick?"  Like they think I have been waiting 2 or 3 weeks to go see them...sometimes I have to say, " Since yesterday!" But I had a sore throat about 2 weeks ago and it just went away....So maybe it will again..

As my last Hurrah...I am making  2 cinnamon rings for the Teachers at the little kids school...I had told Kris I would do it but then she asked me this morning and I told her I was not feeling up to it....Then I thought well what the heck...This is the last time I will be making one here...So I did it... They are rising...

I also have on Jake's laundry...

And I have to pack my bag and get another tote ready to ship home...
I have clothes for Bills kids...Some I had to ship and some I am able to put in my carry on...I have a lot of crap... Thinks like Kris has a small iron skillet I want and I am going to have to carry that on the plane because the shipping box is full...It has just been a lot to figure out for a crazy ole woman. But I almost have 'GOT R DONE!'

2  Things I have not gotten done that I intended to... There is a burn pile in the hole....It is too wet and I will not get it burned...and I want to put up a wooden Thing in the bathroom , hang a toilet paper holder, and a towel rack...Darrel said he would put up the wooden thing for me today...It has to be in a stud...A problem for me... The towel rack and TP holder has not been bought yet...Darrel is home today and maybe for the next 3 days... This will give me lots of time to hold up in my room. I do not go inside and clean if anyone is at home. I figure they can do it if they are home.

Hump day rolls around again!

Missy this morning for  work...

 

 

So today. I got the kids all odd to school...The houses  need some work...Maybe I will get to it.

 

I am not sure what is for supper butt I may start that..

 

I have to pick up Amanda at school at 2:50, as I have all week. She is in a production...yes a production...not a play. It cost her daddy  50 bucks for her to do this...It lasts all week and she practices from 3:15 till 7:30...Guess who stays with her,,,,out of 40 kids guess who is the only one that stays there with their kid...yes...me..

But she is doing great. She is a mermaid...and a beautiful one...oh yes, Mermaid # 1...She has lines... Today I am staying till about 4 and then Kris is coming over and trading with me. I am going to try to secretly film Amanda's parts and song

 You know I am more of an , in your face, person than a sneak...But I imagine one way or another I get film...what are they going to do, throw me out...cause asking me to leave will not work...

\

Yesterday I worked in my room plus made the inside of Kris's house ready for Jake's B Day Party...and baked his cake.

It is raining today..

 

I am ready to leave WA...All of the kids have had their birthdays... And I got to be there...One last time!

 

 

Missy...Today...

Washington Squirrels for Betty....

 

Happy Birthday....Melissa and Lexi...

Today Missy is 36....Lexi is 6...I got a picture of Missy today but they did not send me one of Lexi. She had her party Sat and a friend of mine sent me a picture of the B day so I do have one at least...Oh well...I will post a picture of Missy later and maybe I will get one of Lexi I can post...I did not get either ones present mailed. I thought I would bring it in my suit case on the 20th...

During this stay I got to celebrate all 4 of Kris's kids birthdays with them Jake's is tomorrow.. It has been nice and probably the last time that will happen....and I will get to see them on Easter and Benjamin also...

cupcakes I made yesterday..

 chicken and noodles...

 Not bunny rolls...but fat rats...LOL

 Painted and cleaned up...

hard to believe but I got the bathroom painted this morning...It looks so good...and I even got the shower curtain  rod screwed into a stud...that is luck...
