Happy days are here again

I'm back. I haven't been wanting to blog as much lately. I have been really stressed and/or depressed lately, but today is a whole new day. I honestly think that it has taken me 2 weeks to recover from missing 2 days of medication when Ian was in the hospital.

My daughter's husband decided to leave and go live with his mommy again. I don't know how things are going to turn out, but I'm a lot less concerned. My daughter seems to be doing well. She seems happier, and I think with her independent personality she will be better off. They may get back together, but she will at least have some experience of living on her own.

My son will get the wires off his teeth on Monday and get rubber bands put on. Poor guy is getting skinny from having to drink everything. But he has had a pretty good attitude. It really has been much quieter around here. I guess it's harder to yell about everything with your jaw wired shut.

I'm also happier because my house is cleaner. We actually did an insane thing and labeled a set of dishes for each person to use (and wash). The dishes are so out of control because we have kids home all day long every day. Every day is messy like summer vacation for moms who homeschool. The kids seem to eat at least 6 times a day. I also made up a rotating chore chart which should help us get a few more things done. Click below to see my beautiful chore chart.

Bag all trash and take it to the shed. Make sure the shed door gets closed. Put new bags in all trash cans.

Use the feather duster. Then use the furniture polish to shine the tables.

Use Lysol and a rag. For stains, use Barkeeper’s Friend and a rag – scrub and wipe off all the powder.
