It appears that I have been slacking again :(
Things have been pretty crazy around here. I've been busy with work. We had some warm weather causing me to be outside more and away from the computer, but I'm not complaining. The warm weather was good for me. Now we are getting some more beautiful weather which I am doubly thankful for.
The kids started their spring break today at 3:05 pm. They're excited, me not so much. They get break and I still have to work. I do want to find some things for them to do while they are off. I know I have some crafts they can work on and the weather should be good for the first half of it, so they can play outside.
Work has started on our utility room. I'm really excited about that. Seems like we've been waiting for that to happen forever, though we've only been in this house for 2 1/2 years. The floor is almost all the way framed out. Saturday he will be putting insulation into the floor, the heat vents and I'm assuming the water and rain pipes and then he can lay the wood down to give us a floor. I'm really excited about it and cannot wait for the finished product :)
Life is good :)

What's happened since I last wrote
A lot of things have happened since I last wrote. Some weeks I feel like I live a soap opera but at least I can turn that off.
My gram (mom's mom) died the end of January. I was sad but because I was never really close to her and had only seen her a handful of times in the almost 11 years that I've been married, I wasn't devastated. She was cremated so we had a small memorial at her house which was packed, but the Pastor that was chosen to lead it didn't know Gram and you could tell. I grew up believing and still believe you need a personal relationship with God to get to Heaven. Anyone can believe in him but if you don't really know him you are out of luck. Well that Pastor told a different story. Was not thrilled with his little speel.
I thought things would be over with that side of the family but I was wrong. My mom discovered that not only did my Uncle, her brother, take Gram to redo her will but he had her write mom and her sister out of the will. So Mom got nothing including the Dumbo cookie jar she hasn't wanted for a long, long, long time that used to be her grandmothers. It's the only thing she wanted and she didn't get it.
As if that wasn't enough mom had a blow up with her step-dad and my Uncle called my dad and left a horrible, horrible message on his phone threatening my dad's life and also my brother in law's life (not sure why got drug into it but whatever). Mom's step dad decided to send her all the photos we've ever given to them including the great-grandkids photos. It's so sad that grown men have to act like children.
My husband's grandfather died on Tuesday evening. It was such a sad day for us but such a blessing too. It was 3 years ago when we got the call that he may not pull through after surgery and we took time off to be sure to visit him. He managed to pull through and we got the last 3 years with him. We did manage to see him on Tuesday. Matter of fact most of the family was able to be there at some point on Tuesday including my in laws pastor who wasn't going to make until Wednesday.
Today at two is the family viewing, the public viewing is tonight from 6-8 and tomorrow is the funeral at 10 followed by full military honors at the burial.
It will be such an emotional two days and I'm not really looking forward to them.
