Daily Life...

Well, as most of you know, I am out on short term medical leave right now, so I'm at home every day. No, that doesn't mean I'll be posting every day...but I will continue to post.

This one is just some random blurbs I just kinda need to get off my chest.

I love my grandfather, really I do...but he gets so on my nerves...I knew this would happen if I went out on medical leave. He drives me crazy with the silliest little things. You have to understand my grandfather...if he asks you to do something for him, or get something for him...even if he tells you that you can do it later whenever you can/want...he wants it RIGHT THEN! And if you don't do it or get it right away, he asks you every 5 minutes (or so it seems) if you have done it or gotten it. He'll ask about something he read in the paper or heard on tv and you can explain to him what it's about...or when something will happen or take place...and he'll stay on it for like, ever. Wanting to know every little bit or every day if it's happened yet. Take for instance...fruit cakes. Yeah, not alot of people are crazy about fruit cakes...but he loves em. Can't wait every year for them to go on the market. Well, we all know it'll be sometime in November before the good ones are out. He began asking us about them in August...3 months before they come out...and we told him it would be November. And he does this EVERY year, so it's not like he doesn't know...granted that he doesn't pay much attention anyway to what you tell him, but you would think that after 5 or 6 years of asking and us telling, that he would get the picture. Nope...hasn't happened yet. He asks almost on a weekly basis when they'll be for sale. That's only an itsy bitsy taste of what mama and I go through. Though now, it focuses on me b/c I'm here all day with him. So, I'm going a little crazy. Nothing new for me, right? ha ha ya'll are so funny!

Anyway...my daily routine now consists of waking up in the morning around 8 am (like I used to do anyway), getting myself woke up by watching the Fox 8 news in the am. Then once Mama leaves for work...I chill out for 30 min to an hour and then go clean up the kitchen and granddad's breakfast messs (being sure to leave the paper alone so my darling cousin can read it if he comes by...but tossing it if he's not here by 12ish or so)...doing laundry (no, it's not that piled up, doing the laundry we brought from the old house so it would be clean when we want to wear it!) and then any other little household tasks that need to be done...ie vacuuming if needed, spot cleaning the carpet where precious little Paisley has made messes that we though we had cleaned (or other little spots that happen to appear...like Mama's coffee), etc. Typical housework kinda stuff. All this in between washing, drying, folding laundry. Sitting down and resting when Paisley makes me b/c she knows when I'm over doing it. She's good at that and tells me that I need to rest before I think I do...but she senses it. Then, Mama calls on her way home to discuss dinner and we either decide to cook or not to cook. Then, whatever we decide on...the dishes get done afterwards and then I fully relax. Typical day. Unless I happen to have a day where I have over done it, like today...I vacuumed the hall and the living room...and with our vacuum it's very hard to roll. So, I kinda over did it...majorly...even though Paisley made me stop and rest every few minutes during.

So now, I'm blogging...well, I was...but now I'm done...so, fare thee well until next time we shall meet again!
