A blog that started out as a humorous tale of raising 6 children, then quickly became a chronicle of my grief at being suddenly widowed. Now it's the rest of my journey ... of living, laughing, crying, praying, rejoicing. Of being happy, sad, angry, content, sorrowful, alone, amazed and very, very blessed. And still taking life, one breath at a time ........

Spring?
Spring is in the air. Well, actually, the smell of poop is in the air because I just had mulch put in this week. I want to open a window but it makes me gag. And then there's the fact that I forget it's the mulch that smells and I start looking around the house for cat poop.
Speaking of poop --- I am. Pooped, that is. And it's only 10:30 a.m.
Yesterday was spent in my p.j.s trying to find and restore whatever info I could on to my computer. Thankfully I have many of our pictures stored on line for relatives to view so I was able to download those. I was also able to buy a program that let me put all of my music and video files back on the new system.
The main thing I'm missing now is my saved e-mails. That's a pain, to put it mildly. Oh well.
This morning I got up an hour later, which really wasn't (I hate the first week of "spring forward"). Then I cleaned out Jim's closet. Totally. I packed everything up and stored it and de-cluttered and re-packed and de-cluttered again. I didn't get rid of anything, just cleaned out the closet. I've been thinking about it for a while --- the closet was a good thing-bad thing. I needed to make it a "different" thing. Kind of like spring cleaning, I guess.
I wish I could spring clean my heart.
The girls got home around 8:00 last night.
My sister will be here today --- after sitting at the airport far longer than she had anticipated. It seems that her flight is delayed because there's something wrong with the plane. Oh, but not to worry --- they're flying in a mechanic to fix it. Nice, huh? So she's at least 2 hours out and trying not to stress.
I told her not to get too sloshed or they won't let her on the plane (when it's eventually working).
I've seen "Airline" ..... I know whereof I speak.
