Crazy is more than a song...

This  post is all about crazy!
Crazy little leftovers here...quilting
And crazy little leftover energy here....Moi...
My dear man whispering...eating soup..no energy.wheelchair bound...but great attitude.
Me, getting school clothes, school shoes, appointments ready for three little darlings to go to school.
Meet the teacher, label the book bags, open house...
Supervising visitation with the kids mom..Dealing with the aftermath...
Missing my mom..
Me not sleeping, the kids fighting.  Tons of laundry, wet beds, toothpaste on the bathroom floor.
Mr. O' having to go for another sleep study Monday night.  This time, he has to go in his wheelchair to a facility..wheelchair van, friend to drive, hospital bed once he is there.
My arthritis, without time for water aerobics, using my cane, Did anyone feed the dog?  Did anyone make my man's Ensure smoothie?  Did I forget?
 Did I mention that I am 100 years old???
Me. once again, ordering more fabric that I do not need.  Euphoria for a minute or so.
It means getting something fun in the mail besides medical bills.
Mr. O using his last bit of energy to deal with my mother's estate, albeit tiny.
TBTG, one week till my girl comes...then we three go off to ALS clinic appointment.
Do not get me wrong...
We have love...tons of it.  We have great friends..We have beauty.
  And I have fabric!!! tons of it...lol

Looming after your grand children must be exhausting, you are a special lady. The stripey quilt looks wonderful. X

And yet with all this you have time to put M&M's in the garden for the children...what a special lady! I'm making DGD a placemat from your adorable cat fabric. They told me she needs one with a pocket to keep her silverware in. Again, Thank you for your kindness with all you are dealing with. Bea

Being the caretaker is exhausting. And everyone says "how do you do it" or "you are so amazing for staying strong" without ever realizing you do it because there is no real other choice. I wish I had something more to offer other than the fact that you are in my and many others thoughts and that we are sending you what energy and support we can. Enjoy your fabric and your escape into your quilts.
