Sometimes I have the worse things to do

February 27, 2008

Well I spent most of my time today scrubbing dad’s room down. I took the bedding off to wash, you know sheets and blankets, and cleaned his entire room, from top to bottom! I have to say I love having this canister vacuum, because I have the worst jobs sometimes to do. He is in a hospital bed so I took the mattress off today to clean up all that wonder dead skin flakes. E I E I GROSS!! My daughter never moves nothing when she does her chores so I really had my work cut out for me. His room was one of the biggest reasons I needed the canister vacuum, because it has to boldly go where no upright can go! He had expired medication in a collector cup I threw away, is he insane? Found a few other not so nice things and rather not go into details but just stick with the E I E I GROSS!!

I hurt my back today and my knee. I just toughed it up and took some aleve, but boy I can feel the burn and pain tonight. Can you feel it? I moved everything in his room but two dressers and sure that is why, those hospital beds are not exactly light!! But it was nice of dad to notice a difference in his room and say wow thanks!

Hubby’s appetite still the same with the no smoking. It will be two months since he quit this coming Friday. Last night I made come chocolate chip cookies for snack and he ate 9!! Dad packed away 6 so no ice cream for him!! Hubby’s sweet tooth has not curbed at all. He wanted thirds at dinner and I had made a little extra so my dad had some left overs for his lunches. Hubby sort of grumped a little (is that a word grumped?). I really can not wait for spring so he can be outside working again. He loves to be outside.

My daughter isn’t going to get to do senior project this year. She had some paperwork for a month that she was suppose to get signed with the person she was doing her project with and of course waited till last minute and the gal was out of town so they said that was that. It’s a hard lesson to learn but she is 18 and has to stop this last minute stuff. That really drives me insane. Just like when they have reports to do, if you have a month don’t wait till two days later then its MOM I need help! I don’t mind but when its rushed and more like mom writing the report, mom has a problem with it. So now this opens an opportunity for her if a position opens there to get a job. The students were not allowed to do their projects at a place they already worked at so hoping this works out for her in the end.

Did I mention there was no school today? OH that is never fun with my son since he goes to a charter school online, no such thing as SNOW DAYS for him. So I really had to keep reminding him to do his school work. Just really makes for a long day with the wonderful teen ‘tude!
