I need a nap right now. I stayed up until 2 ish last night or this morning I should really say. I am behind with my Etsy orders and still trying to play catch up since Margaret's fall two weeks ago. With that and her visit to the cardiologist, I lost 4 days. 4 days of working on my flowers and orders. I should be all caught up with a big trip to the PO either this afternoon or in the morning. Then I will nap. I cannot stand feeling this behind on stuff and I have some other things in mind to add or make but I cant move on that until I finish this.
So I am wasting some time posting on my blog. I am feeling so much more cheery after Margaret's trip to the doctor last week. My girl has ASD, which means one wall in her heart has a hole. They suspected or assumed or wished or it has been their experience that this sort of thing works itself out by the time a child is 2 or 3. Margaret is now 3 and it is still the same -- not bigger or smaller. The doctor said if it doesn't close by the time she is about 5 or 5 and a half, she will need to have surgery to close it up or problems can start arising as she gets bigger.
I stressed over that for a couple days. I was feeling like running away for about an hour or so -- just to not have to face such responsibility for an hour would be heaven. I went through a full circle of emotions and now I am back to my 'do not worry about it until I need to worry about it' attitude. In the meanwhile, Miss Margaret, the princess kitty herself, is be bopping and scatting around happy as a clam wearing her big girl underwear and wrapping her boys and her gammy and her mommy all around her fingers.
This is the leaves after I raked that first day. They are much further back now but still not over into the woods yet. We have to keep letting the ones underneath dry out before we can move them with the blower. It has been too cold to plant any of our bulbs or seedlings but I think we will be ready when that warm weather is finally here.
Note to self:
Dear self, Always remember and never forget how hard it is to rake a babillion leaves that have been left where they fell for 5 months and have been smooshed down by snow and rain for the same amount of time. Really. Love, your self
Miss Margaret dressed by Daniel. Good times, good times.
Margaret and Gammy (my Mom). Can you see where she gets her good looks from?
My Mom's sister, my Aunt Liz and her daughter Michele and her husband Ken -- at Michele's baby shower -- she is having twin girls in May. more good times.
I was just going to take a photo of the big stack of dominoes that she built and it fell -- this is the look she gave me.
Look! I have two boys too. Two darn cute boys I might add.
And that about sums it ALLLLL up.
