I'm still around...Sorry its so long!

[Guest guest]

I want to welcome all the new folks whom have joined...as usual I am

way behind on reading. It has been a busy new year. First we rang in

the New Year with a bad case of the flu. When most were watching the

ball drop, I was cleaning up missed runs to the bathroom. It could

only go up from there, right? Well it took us the next week to

recover and by that time our Papa, whom also lives with us, went in

for his knee replacement. He came threw with flying colors, thank

the good Lord. I was kept very busy trying to help him and doing the

usual housework and running, and trying to hide the fact that just

moving was killing me.(The usual house work is light, very light

now, I've given up hope of ever being able to clean like normal

folks do.) I didn't need the guilt and lectures about taking it easy

and not doing so much, I had no choice. I would hate for my Father

In Law to feel guilty, he helps me so much with the kids and

running, and hates to add more to my plate, but this was his time

and I don't begrudge him that. He is a marvel, and back on his feet,

not completely healed but that comes with normal walking and getting

the muscles strong again. Ok, now Papa is back taking Larry Jr. to

school and making small trips to stores, little steps, and things

are getting to a normal pace, and guess what? FLU yes another bug

zaps us. I'm barely moving trying to chase after (3) and

Larry Jr. (6) whom seems to have more trouble hitting the toilet

then his little brother does, cleaning messes and running into the

doctors. This time around this stuff turned into ear infections,

sinus infections, and bronchitis. I'm still on my second coarse of

antibiotics trying to shake this crud. It has taken its toll on me

along with this lovely Michigan weather, you know rain in the

morning, sleet for noon, and snowing by bedtime! Yes got to love our

weather. Well that about brings us up to date, just throw in the

getting taxes done and other odds and ends and we are here, the

present..and life goes on, I hope to start catching up with

everything and everybody. If you see me on give me a shout, I'll try

not to whine at you too much. in Michigan

Thanks for the update, . We Wisconsin cheeseheads have been complaining

muchly about the weather this winter as well. Hope everyone gets over their

bugs soon and you return to some sort of normalcy at home. Take care.
