Married Life

As we got into bed this evening, Dennis and I were reflecting on the day and trying to 'out do' one another with what we did for each other today.

After I told him what I did for him,  He was telling me everything he did for me today and at the end his voice went funny and crackly and I laughed and made fun of his voice.

Me, while mimicking his voice:  Why you sound like that at the end of the sentence?

He laughed and said:  Cause I was running out of breath and I wasn't done bitching yet!!

Story of my life... He doesn't stop bitching even while gasping for air!♡

Always a Bright Side...

I am not a depressed person by nature... but have occasionally felt the sting of being sad for no apparent reason. 

However,  being that I AM an optimistic person by nature... this is how I view my depression when it hits!

How sweet is that?

I don’t know what it is about books and puzzles but my grandchildren love them!  Especially Joanie and Sammi!  They can both work on a puzzle for a very short time and have it together.  Sammi is more then happy to do the same puzzle over and over.  Today I gave her a new 25 piece floor puzzle to do that she hadn't done before and she loved it.  She had it done in nothing flat!

Also today while the kids were over playing, we have all these toys scattered throughout the living room, all at their disposal, and I hear nothing... No squealing, no fighting... and I think to myself:  This can't be good!  If they get quiet, I think,  "oh no!!  Where are they?  And what are they into?"  Low and behold... I found both of them in the library, sitting in my reading chair reading a book!  How sweet is that?!?

A Day of Play

We had Sammi and Danny over  today.  They came around 10 and stay until 2...went home and took naps and then came back around 5, and stayed until 8.

We had lots of fun and did lots of things;  we did puzzles and played with dinosaurs... they played outside with Pop and took a bath where they got to play with new tub toys.  We read some books, we ate some supper and we watched a movie.

Of course Sammi noticed I had my nails painted so she wanted hers painted too... once Danny saw this...He didn’t want to be left out!  So yes, I painted his nails...... clear!  (I don't want his daddy mad at me!)  As soon as I was done he promptly rub them together like I had just put lotion on his hands and went on his merry way. Sometimes it’s just about feeling included.

I got my nails did!

I sat through getting my nails done today.  I have no idea why it is so hard to do, but every 3 weeks I go through the torture.  This months color is red.  Looks great with my pasty white hands... but it's seasonal for Valentines day.  The things we do for vanities sake!
