Or let GG play nurse and take care of you while you rest with your foot up.

Yes, at six she is able to take on simple tasks and be helpful. And she would love doing so. It is good for them.

I agree..she is old enough----I did that with my girls..I can remember that I would have my oldest make her bed--she was like 5 yrs old. When she was done, it was a mess but she was proud---and so I left it that way.

But there is more than that. If she's incorporated being helpful when Grammy's laid up, It will do great things for her self esteem. But more so that she is a needed cog in the wheels that make the family run smoothly. That is so wonderful when it dawns on a kid that they're really needed. I'm going to cruise around and say goodnight now. Sweet dreams all.

You should have had your ankle looked at while you were there, Sunny. I know...I was afraid that I wouldn't make it home in time to get GG off the bus. I'll wait a day or two..strange thing is that this morning it's not the ankle that is sore but the bones from the ankle to my smallest toes. How many people are coming to the party Junie?

Good morning. Sunny, that sounds like my ankle sprain from a couple (few) years ago. I never took it to a doctor either. The second day the top of my foot was a beautiful rainbow of colors and my second to last toe as never been normal since. But my ankle was definitely sprained. I rested it a lot with it raised. I used ice at first and bandaged it to keep it stable. I used crutches to help me maneuver around but used the ankle to bear weight as much as possible. And as it recovered, I exercised it a lot. I hope you get better quickly. Yes, Carol. I am interested in your coming events, also. I Hope everyone has a great day.

Yup Tina...it's the same kind of sprain as that. I ended up with 10 bottles of salsa...and I am glad to be done. I forgot about the big mess that it makes I just ordered GG's snowsuit from Walmart, they had plenty of boys suits yesterday(DD picked up grandboy's) but they said they did not receive any for girls in the shipment. I'm not taking an chances as the one's online said 'limited stock'.

Hello everyone ! Well I had quite the day...NOT.
This morning while I was enjoying my morning coffee (with Pumpkin Spice Coffeemate). My Mom called me, It seems that day before yesterday she strained some back muscles raising & lowering some windows of her house, & she strained some muscles......then yesterday her back did not hurt enough yet, so she picked up her HEAVY security box to look inside of it & she must have strained some muscles further. Mind you she was this way yesterday afternoon & we could have called the Dr. or gone to the ER yesterday evening--but nope, we had to go today...we spent a LOT of time there.... Now I am exhausted, and NONE of my house is cleaned for when the girls come here.
OH well--Mom could have been worse, and I am thankful that she is not.
Around 20 people are coming.. Several family members will not be able to make it..biut we will do with whome is there.
This party is in dad's honor. it is for family. I will post in the HL about it>

Here, let me try this again....(I was in the middle of posting & Rod came back home)
Sunny..how is your foot/ankle feeling?? I have been wondering how you were doing. I hope you are not over doing.
Tina: sounds as if you were up & at 'em early today...way to go girl...
I am in the computer room/babies room as of now--cleaning & rearranging things so we can fit another pack n play in the small room for the 3 girls. I will get done eventually.. Good news is tomorrow night Rod is taking me out to eat tomorrow night, so I will not have to cook before the party and clean up that mess--so yay for me.
I wish everyone a great rest of the day !!

How is your mother today, Carol? I didn't get a nap today. But I did manage to get dirty. I am in need of a shower.

she is ok---since she knows she did not break any bones, she has to now suffer thru the pain of a pulled/strained muscle. She has pain pills from this winter but they make her sick...I got a 20 minute nap this evening. I sure wish I had of gotten more... she says she is going to the party on Saturday but that 2 of her lady friends are going to bring her--that will be good, as well she was going to drive out herself. Tomorrow I have to find someone to help me watch the girls while Val is in the dentists....so that my SIL can go out to the creek with Rod. and then pick up the cold foods to go out---it wil be a full day as I have to then pack the non-perishables & then vacuum. Back Good gracious..I just made some pre-packaged sugar cookies.. they are NOT good... but oh well..I will hope that I am picky. Besides, I also have some peanut butter cookies made & will soon make chocolate chip. They never disappoint .

Good to hear that it is not me Tina. Rod just got up & said the sugar cookies were ok--his exact words were (what is wrong with them?)
So I will hope that the other men do not think they are bad either. I think my main issue with them is MY sugar cookie recipe makes soft cookies, and they have a small amount of spices in them...yummy to say the least.
I am tired now & I think I will call it & go to bed now--night night .

Read the ingredients on those sugar cookies and you will understand why the taste is off. It is nothing like homemade. This time I am really going to bed. Sweet dreams.

Good morning. I slept in today. But it's all good. I'm going to be busy today. It's bill paying day and setting up my budget for the coming month. I think I'll will start with a shower. I hope you have a couple great days, Carol. Have fun cooking for your hungry freezer, Sunny.

Stocks are made and I have a pumpkin spice loaf in the oven...time to start supper in a bit as well. I hope you are all caught up Junie. Tina, thanks for reminding me...I have to set up my budget as well. Tomorrow I will be visiting my uncle in the hospital...I am not sure what is going on. I was told to go visit and find out what he wants to tell me himself of the situation.

Sugar cookies are close to being my favorite and I like them a little soft. I won't eat a crunchie sugar cookie. Just isn't right. I don't have stock of any sort in my freezer. You guys are too smart for me.
We went to Colt's this week. Had a blast. I'm exhausted.

Thanks Tina...They are all coming tomorrow morning. Rod & Brian will go out to the property and I will stay with Val while she has her dentist's appt. WE should get out there around noon. But thank you so very much for your well wishes. I am thinking it will be a wonderful time---Now only if it "does not" rain.... I am going to wash my dishes & then go to sleep. I will see you all as I can---probably Sunday evening. I wish you all a great day tomorrow !!
