UPDATE and WHAT I'M DOING TODAY...

UPDATE ON THE SNOW...

Here's Rubs on her way out to play in the snow Wednesday morning. She played for about 10 minutes, then her mitten came off and her hand got snowy and cold. She did go out later with her friend and they played for 10 more minutes then it was lunch and nap time. Poor Rubs, when she got up the snow had melted. She asks when it is coming back. Soon child much to soon.

UPDATE ON THE BUM TOE...

Her are my shoes on my very feet. I can walk and there is only a little pain when I first put them on and a bit more when I take them off. Maybe my feet are numb while they are in the shoes, I don't know. But Oh happy day that I can wear them. I went for a checkup with Dr Cranky on Monday, He said to keep wearing my heels and come back in a month, "maybe we'll do it (crank my poor toe) again" OH REALLY! The good thing is he didn't say more surgery. That is "oh happy day"

My bum foot. I'm still wearing my pajamas, by the way.

And now to the WHAT I'M DOING TODAY...


THIS...

AND more importantly THIS...

These are my piles. The one is not so bad. Just grocery ads and food magazines. That one is cake. The next one is the PAIN of my very existence. It is ALWAYS a mess. It is THE mess by the phone. Can you even see the phone? Can you see that basket? I got that to house my phone mess. It didn't work. I was just going to have that much stuff to deal with all wrapped up in a neat and attractive basket. The basket now has old cell phones and chargers and batteries and instruction booklets and old broken toys (Rubs is a devastator) and perhaps some spider webs-although I hope not.

I always need stuff from that pile. Mighty M always asked me if I have some paper or check stub or receipt. I say "yes" and point. He is an eye roller. He just looks at the mess and says "it's OK I don't need it now" I'm sure that means "clean it up and find my receipt" but I don't. I am not one to follow orders, even if they are only spoken with the roll of an eye. He really is kind and sweet to me about my phone pile (maybe it's because he knows, I know, about HIS nightstand).

Now speaking of Mighty M. He is so swamped with work that I fear he's going to crack. We talk about how we should be grateful, and we are, ( it is nice to pay bills) it is just hard on us all when he is so frazzled at the end of the day (he leaves home at 6:45 am and gets back at about 6:30ish) and has to commit to work the next two Saturdays just so they don't loose a really big job. He doesn't feel he can say NO to any job when the market is so shady so he says YES and is frazzled. The girls miss their dad and I miss my fella.

Mads is going to her best friend Bailey's house after school today. They are so cute and both such nice little girls. They have so much fun together. Last time they were playing over here, I let them decorate the house for Halloween. They found the Halloween make-up and spent the rest of the afternoon painting each others (and Rubs) faces. They were pretty scary. I took pictures with my phone but I'm not skilled enough to download them. So you'll have to settle for a normal one.

This post is really long. enjoy.
