Nov. 16th, 2011 01:06 pmSo far today, I have:
* gotten the kids up, fed, dressed for school, and driven to school
* sorted laundry, run 2 loads (2 loads left)
* made 3 sundresses for The Miss, one for myself, and altered a skirt I got at Goodwill a month ago (sundresses still need some hand sewing)
* picked kids up from school, dropped bag of old clothes at Goodwill
* mended 2 pair of socks (1 pair left to do)
Sometime soon, I need to figure out what's for lunch.
If today goes the way I hope, I'll finish the socks and the handsewing on those dresses, get the laundry folded, do my foot or so of tatting, and still have some energy left for a bit of frivolous needlework later tonight.
I am ignoring the hints from the kids' teacher that The Boy, and possibly The Miss as well, is ADHD. She's bound and determined to slap a diagnosis on the kids, and I'm getting fed up. Mom and Sis think she's angling for diagnosis that get her program funding. Grrrrr.
Grandma went back into the hospital last night, after her regularly scheduled doctor's visit. The home health nurse says Grams missed all her insulin for the past week, Grams says she just didn't get it written down. It's hard to say....she's been alert enough to argue that she did take it, just on autopilot, but ....she's getting less alert every month. It's very distressing.
Her doc admitted her to figure that out, to watch her kidneys (she couldn't produce a urrine sample for them, couldn't remember the last time she'd peed, and they're worried about her losing more kidney function), and to deal with the diarrhea that she's had for 2 weeks. Last tim.e this came up, it was a nasty bacterial infection that took very high-powered meds to knock back, and doc thinks that's the case this time.
I may try to get up to see her this weekend. We're still trying to figure out what we're doing for Turkey Day. With By only getting the one day off, it makes travelling an ordeal, and Mom's not up to visitors and cooking.
