Wow, I can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I have blogged. Life sure is fast paced around here. Between getting kids to school and daycare, work, meals and laundry, every day is just a blurr. It is working well with Randi, Travis and the kids here though. At least I think so. The kids have run in to a glitch with the sale of the house in Michigan which could affect the purchase of the house here. Yipes, it's always something. For us it just means they could be staying with us until maybe the end of May. To add to that, we have been dealing with Millie and her stay at the nursing home. She has finally agreed that it is best for her to stay at the nursing home and not try to go back to her apartment. I totally understand that she would like to be in her own space, but it is just not good. Now the task is to empty and clean her apartment. I think if we all go down there we can get it done in a weekend.

Work is an all together different story. I am very frustrated right now. I kind of feel caught between different members of the management team. some of them have different ideas of how things should be done. It seems I can't please "both sides of the fence". I just feel this weight of so many demands on me and my time. Some days I think I am going to explode!!!!

Weather is good. The snow is melting and I can actually see some grass. The weatherman is talking about a little more snow tonight and perhaps Tuesday, but nothing major. I guess spring is on the way!

Busy, busy, busy

Things continue to go well with Randi (and sometimes Travis) and the kids living here. It is very busy around here, but everything is working. Not a lot of room for their stuff, but we make do. Lauren has started kindergarten connection and both kids go to ECFE. Randi has started work at the hospital in Marshall.

The issues with Mildred have made life interesting however. The physical therapist at the nursing home said she was able to go home, so last Friday they moved her back to apartment. It was not a good idea. On Saturday we checked onher and she couldn't even get herself up out of bed. Randi got her up and dressed and to the bathroom, then got her pills and breakfast and to her recliner. Later we brought her lunch. She was not able to get to a standing position even from her lift chair. So we got her up and to the table to eat. Later we went to check on her again. She was again not able to get up so I got her up and to the bathroom. what a mess! To make a long story short, we had to go over there 3 or 4 times a day to get up and fed and to the bathroom. she has relented and is going back to the nursing home today. I am so glad. Was so afraid she was going to fall or something and get hurt again.

Work is going fine. We got a new person hired to replace an employee who is retiring. I think the new person will be a great addition. I do need to get caught up on some projects though. Whew! Management has piled lots of projects on us at one time.

Well, keep an eye on the weather! Another storm front coming through next week. :(
