Toooooo cute.............

Christian called out to his father who was having a shower.....daddy don't stay in the shower too long because the screws in your leg will rust!!!!!..for you that do not know G had screws placed into the head of his left femur in the hope that the bone will heal and will not need titanium in 2 years time.!!!!

C was the perfect helper yesterday.....I was at it all day yesterday preparing the kits for the crop , friends came over in the morning a huge thank you to Eleste Eleni and Katerina what would I have done without you!!!

After they left in the afternoon another friend came over (who has nothing to do with crafts) but wanted to help..... well we continued working till 2am!!

No need to tell you I was exhausted we woke up at 10am this morning (that is like in the middle of the day for me)...........

well it's back to the preparations!!!!

later..................................

Rabbits tails garlic necklaces...and other such voodoo

Hi all......
where have I been?
Busy................
Doing what?
imitating a headless chicken.......
why?
because it wasn't enough that my days were full with work, preparations for the crop, looking after my father in law, chasing a 6 year old............my husband had to fall and break his femur high up where it meets the pelvis.
I did not realise how lucky I was when he was in the hospital............now that he is home I do not rest...........I am forever running for something..........why is it that when you just sit down with a cup of tea you will be asked to get something............I have been studying this reaction and I have figured out it is a testosterone issue......I will not go into it now...as I am still keeping notes.
Our six year old has the same reaction when ever I pick up the phone or a book let alone sit in front of a computer with a cup of tea!!!
Don't misunderstand I feel for him ans I know he is in pain but the grumpiness is unbearable!!
Gregory's business partner came by today and dropped off G's laptop yeah!!! my laptop will be set free from the hubby's clutches .........doing a happy dance...........oh maybe that was a rain dance............sorry to all the Athenians that got drenched this afternoon.......
So that is why I have been missing in action.........as it has been action action action..........

On a scrappy note I was very happy to find out I was a winner over at scrapbookers in Greece monthly challenge .

How I wish I had the time to scrap...............
They say patience is a virture.............
I am a saint!!!!!!!!!!!!
Later....................................

Heart felt thank you......

I want to say thank you to all of you who sent their best wishes either by calling me or by leaving a comment here...
I want to say a huge thank you to my 2 friends who looked after Christian this weekend as it was difficult for him seeing his grandfather in such a state and I had no one to look after him.....you girls came to my rescue..........you saved my life.......thank you, you know who you are.........
Today we took my FIL to the hospital (actually the ambulance did) he was panic stricken that he would have to stay there!!
He was lucky, after having fallen 3 times now, his fracture is no worse and no better!!!
The Parkinsons is a big issue now.....as he cannot walk properly or very far.
Even though I take care of my back it has been difficult and I am feeling very sore every morning when I wake up!!!
That's my news for now...thank you again......
Later.................................................................

Mental and Physical exhaustion......

I now know the meaning of mental and physical exhaustion...........I always thought what are these people talking about they must be crazy how can you be both................when I gave birth to Christian I was very lucky he was a good baby.
I didn't have real sleep less nights till he went to day care at 4yrs and got sick all the time or when he was hospitalized for one of those illnesses that was when I experienced sleepless nights!!!!
My father in law who is 87 and a sufferer of Parkinsons tripped and fell Wednesday morning he is crafty and did not say how much pain he was in all day .....G and I took him for an xray and of course he had fractured his shoulder.
I made the mistake of not asking him to be admitted into hospital and I think I will never get over that it eats at me all day because now he refuses to even have outside help in the house!!!!! so the burden is on my shoulders. My mother in law is not capable giving him the proper care, she too is 80 and tired mentally and physically from being a care giver to a Parkinsons sufferer close to a decade now.

Gregory is with him this morning I have a few hours off to clean house and get on the computer as I have lots of details for the crop that need dealing with.

I am afraid to get over there this afternoon as yesterday I found him on the floor twice!! each time was when I had left the house to go and collect Christian from the school bus. you see what I mean by he needs proper care!!

Anway thanks for listening!!
