This is my DD. She is pregnant and due mid_May. Most likely a repeat c-section. So much uncertainty.A good friend called me last night and reminded me that life isn't stopping with all that is going on. Her sister is in need of emergency surgery for ovarian cancer. They are trying to find a remote hospital with no or few cases because they need to do surgery ahead of the wave that could be coming. Just a reminder that we are blessed to be safe inside not stuck inside and to keep praying for others that are hurting much worse than I am.
A question I can easily get into.Question of the day 3/31: Whatcha reading or what is a favorite book you have read?
Happy Tuesday. Is anyone else like us and constantly asking what day is it or this morning trying to determine how long we have been home?
I finally put up a calendar and marked when it started and now marking the days off. It's very much like our time during deployments. You just put your head down and do it every day until we are told otherwise.
Not me, but my husband. He is working from home. Trying to do schedules for the workers at the houses for next week, and he keeps thinking that today is Friday, um , hope, it's only Tuesday!
Matt mowed the yard today for the first day in the season. I laughed because I'm sure the neighbors were cursing at him starting up the mowing season. Now I hear several more mowers going in the area. I worked on getting some spring decorations out in the house. I'm going to have spring, damnit! I put out my Easter wreath on the door and pretty spring flowers and pillows and such around the house. This weekend supposed to be nice and our neighborhood is doing "virtual" egg hunt with colored eggs stuck up in windows or mailboxes or anywhere else. I was seriously thinking about putting out some playdough or fun things on a table but I guess that's not exactly safe right now. *Sigh..
Just celebrate any way you can Tina. I have my Easter decorations up also. I think the virtual egg hunt with the eggs in windows, mailboxes is a great idea. Matt and I are in the same boat. I mowed my lawn yesterday, and after I did, all I heard was mowers going all over the neighborhood. They are probably cursing me out too. I don't ever remember having to mow the lawn before the first or second week of April before. But this was a weird weather season. We had no snowstorms, barely any measurable snow, and we have had 75 and 80 degree days, in March! Now that I mowed, I know it will have to be done 2x a week for awhile, until it slows down in it's growing!

Will say prayers for your friends Sister, and your friend, that they find a safe hospital to do her surgery in. God will watch over her.
My MIL is on my super last nerve and that is all I will say about it. She won't listen and will do as she pleases and whatever...
LOL Been there and done that. My mother in law passed away several years ago, and she was one to only do what she wanted when she wanted, so I feel your pain on that one
My gratitude today:
1. Great friends that love me for me
2. Good music to help soothe the soul
3. A good lawnmower. We bought after my husband broke the other last summer. He is pretty but not so much handy. I'm glad it still working!
Mine is a few years old, but I changed the oil, sparkplug, and air filter Sunday, put gas in and it started up on the first try, hopefully it will last through the season
Good health to all..and onto question of the day...

Question of the day 3/31: Whatcha reading or what is a favorite book you have read?
We are readers in our house. We are slowly and I mean slowly turning to digital books. We have several book cases full of this, that and the other. My husband has every book David Baldacci has put out and is also big fan of Edgar Allen Poe and lots Sci Fi. I prefer mysteries, romance and just good told story. I like Fannie Flagg, Doretha Benton Frank and Janet Evanovich for just fun read. I'm reading a mystery by her now and it's hard to wade through and I have break up issues and haven't gave up on it yet.
So what's everyone else reading or something they enjoyed reading?

A question I can easily get into.
Currently reading A Man Called Ove. I had heard mixed reviews but I really like it.
I favorite that I read recently is The Hope Chest by Viola Shipman.
I like the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. They’re fun and zero percent serious. Just about my speed for right now.
