My daughter in law just updated her blog and this reminded me that I have not been here in a while. I love to write and have a thousand thoughts in my head that I need to get out and written. I am trying to stay away from sitting in front of the TV, so I have been reading books and trying to read through the Bible. Life has so many distractions. I want to watch shows that my friends and family highly recommend, but I have so much else to do. I will though, watch the shows, especially the ones my daughter in law recommend. There is one in particular. I am trying to get my house cleaned out and organized. I have been trying to do this for many years. It is slowly, very slowly getting done. I am an empty nester now, so I have two rooms that I want to get set up into guest rooms, bonus rooms, extra rooms or offices. So much has happened this year. I was hoping that 2015 would be a great year with me getting a lot done. But life changing events have happened. Some good and some not so good.
My former mother in law passed away
We filed bankruptsy
My daughter got married
My son in law died (the father of my daughter's children) We all were devastated!!
My dad had problems with my moms estate, and I had to take over
My son was in a serious car wreck
My dad's house flooded
My dad was stuck in a hotel bath tub for seven and a half hours (we were so scared when he wouldn't answer the door)
I was put on more insulin and my diabetes is more serious
My youngest moved out on his own
His car that he just bought and is making payments on turned out to be a problem. One thing after another and now it needs an engine. This is expensive.
But things are slowing getting done and getting better, thanks to much prayer. Life is slowly returning to normal...if there is such a thing...normalcy in this life and in the good ol' USA.
