Monday of all Mondays

What a day. I don't think I have done anything significant today, yet I am exhausted. The day started early for Brion and Nicole, they were car pooling to work. actually It was more like a really screwed up relay. Nicole took Brion to work, then went to work and came home. I picked up Michelle and her friends for lunch, brought them home, they ate lunch and I took them back. Then I went to pick them up fro school and deposit them at Alison's house. I picked Brion from work then picked Michelle from Alison's house then we ate dinner. Then We (Nicole, Brion and I) went to rescue Kristin, who had broken down in the Saturn on the freeway at the point of the mountain while she was coming home to switch phones with Michelle, because hers was trashed, and Michelle's phone wasn't working anyway because the batterey wasn't working when we got it, well actually it was Kristin's, but Kristin needed a phone more than Michelle cause michelle had her old one, and Kristin gave Tami hers and School was starting etc etc etc... so, we found Kristin and the Saturn seemed to be working fine, so Dad drove it home but he followed me in case he had any problems (Shouldn't I have been following him?) well before we got home we had to drop Nicole off in Salt Lake to work for an hour, we took a wrong turn and ended up right smack dab in the middle of the Jazz fan crowd as the game just ended. We made it up to Nicole's job dropped her off and promised to be back in an hour, made it down to the freeway to find the Jazz fan crowd now in cars plugging up the freeways so we turned around and went back to Nicole's job to wait for her, then back to the freeway home.

I was just about to crawl into my bed to get some rest because tomorrow is going to be more of the same insanity, but Michelle needed a shoulder to cry on and so that was pretty much my day.

Post Christmas

Today is January 1st. And yes I did not finish any projects but I enjoyed thinking about and planning them. And I did not finish the quilt. It's pretty, and my kids wanted me to make it for us, and buy them one. So we did. I may try and finish them during the year. Although it's hard to stay in the Christmas spirit all year and I kind of have to stay in the Christmas spirit to do Christmas projects. Anyway. I did get all the fabric for the Aprons. I had to get it off the Internet for 3 of them. It is all gingerbread. ! I sent away for Santa Aprons for Brion and George, which came in and were Children's sizes. Boo. So I will return them and make them Santa Aprons for them. In fact I may make everyone Aprons for Christmas. (Here I go....) Any way, I may go to the Clearance Christmas Fabric sales . Last time I bought over a hundred dollars worth. So, maybe not.

I went to California to take care of my Dad. Gary needed to get away. It was a bummer cause it was Nicole's birthday, but I felt I should go. As bad as this sounds, it's time for my dad to be released from this life. I know that is not my decision but his life is hell. The only time he is happy is when he is scheming to buy a car and go back to work. Right now his feet have such bad pressure sores on them that he is in jeopardy of loosing them. He just is not in his right mind and it is driving everyone out of theirs. Anyway, I am just going to pray about it. I love my Dad. He was a great father and taught us Christ like behavior by his example. He is the most unselfish person I have ever known. He gave his whole life for his family. he gave his time, money and energy for us. he wanted nothing for himself. If that's not Christ like, I don't know what is.
