EASTER AND OTHER MUSINGS

We were in for most of the time.  Steve and I had date night Saturday night.  We ate at Corky's and saw Captain America - it was pretty good. Before the movie we went to Kohls and was pleased to learn they closed on Easter.  Good for them! 

Mom was pretty good all weekend - we had moments.  She seems to sundown now between 2:00-4:00.  I am changing medicine times up to see if that helps any.  She just goes and goes and goes, she is like the energizer bunny.

We did not make it to church - but I am so glad we were able to go last week for the Easter Celebration at church.  Still missed it though.  I did cook out hamburgers and hot dogs.  I also made a strawberry cake and a chicken casserole.  My feelings were momentarily hurt that my sisters did not have  or even bother to invite us over to their different things - but I got over it.  hmmmmmm  But it still bothered me just  tad to see pictures on Facebook and such. 

Honestly - I was so tired the whole weekend.  It was unreal.  It took everything in me to get out Saturday.  Tori took care of mom the whole time -but I could have gone to bed.  I know I looked terrible when we went out - but oh well!

Still waiting on insurance on what they will pay for dental work.

I think we are going to have break out the lawn mower and trim up this week. First time all season.  I want to put in rock garden in the back - where a flower garden used to be.  Low maintenance.  Surely it won't cost too much - I want to start with basic rock -and then add large pieces, etc.  I have it in my head.  And maybe some large pots for flowers.  Or even a stone bench -on thing at a time.

I need to catch up on blog reading - will do that tonight.  I am behind.

Glad you two were able to get out. Two of our kids went to see the same movie and they really liked it. I am sorry about the hurt feelings--I really do understand that. At the end of the day, you will know that you did everything you could do for your mom.
