thursday night
Apr. 3rd, 2008 09:29 pmI just realized that it has been days since I posted. I tried to last night but after writing three or four miserable paragraphs, I decided against posting it. Too depressing. Nothing is really wrong chez yayer, just some bad stuff involving the extended family of my ex-sister-in-law (car wreck, uncertain status of driver but it's not good) and a neighbor of my parents (37-year-old man died of heart attack.) Kinda put me in a mood.
My mom came down on Tuesday and spent the night. She hasn't done that in a long while and we had fun. Evelyn really made her day because she was SO HAPPY to see her Granny. She kept hugging and patting and smiling and looking at her. It's so funny (sorta) but she goes out of her way to ignore me most of the time there's someone else around. We did a little bit of shopping while she was here but not too much.
Spring is finally on its way in and we have blooming Easter lilies! Our yard is a little behind everyone else in the neighborhood, probably because we have a gazillion trees. Our yard is a real disaster area but we have made some plans (and a list! because it is me and lists are what I do.) and now the only problem is having time to act on them. M does the yardwork, mainly. We both worked on it the first year, and then last year I was swollen and unwieldy in the spring and recovering from surgery/caring for a newborn in the summer. There's never enough time. If we could just get rid of the groundhogs and chipmunks, we'd be off to a good start. So far, progress on that front is zero in two years.
I have made myself a list of sewing projects and it is a mile long. E is currently in a phase (I hope) that does not afford me much time to work on anything, though I'm hoping it's getting better. I think that I will go spend a few minutes playing with fabric now. Ugh. *sigh* Well, I will if I don't feel an excess of responsibility that causes me to clean up the sauce that spilled out of the Thai food leftovers from last night to pool at the bottom of the fridge. Bleh. Decisions, decisions. I've already pretended not to notice it once today. ;)
