Ahead of schedule?

Could it really be?????








For once in my life..I think I am actually ahead of schedule! No not in the healing from the surgery...which is right on schedule I've been told but ahead of time on getting a project done!!

Do you believe it? I don't!! And it's not even the end of the month. All I can say is that I must have way too much time on my hands! That and the weather has been so rainy and dreary has helped a lot too!


I actually got my ATC's done and delivered and it is only the middle of October!!! I am sure this will be the first and last time that this will ever happen!! I have to keep telling myself not to get used to it!!! It's just a strange kind of fluke!

But it sure feels good for once not to be burning the midnight oil and pushing the deadline to the limit!! I must take that after the kiddo!!! Sorry Michael...we know who we really got it from huh? I would start thinking about my ATC's for November but I'm sure this ahead of schedule thing is a one time deal and I'll go back to pushing the deadline again next month!!! Besides that would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too ahead of schedule!!! And that is just not me!!!

Home body...

It's a good thing that I have always been a home body or else I think I would have already gone stir crazy trying to re-coup from this surgery! Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved being home. My parents taught me to love being home. Home has always had such a warm and loving feel to it. I just even love the word....aahhhhh HOME!! I stayed home for many years while raising my kiddo and loved every single minute of it. People always asked after he went to school if I ever got bored at home?? Never... I was always busy trying to make our house a home and still am to this day and loving every minute of it. The memories are plentiful here and I'm just trying to capture them one day at a time! Yes...even while I'm re-couping at HOME!!!

Two weeks.........

OK so the surgery was two weeks ago today and 6 little cards is all the "creativeness" that I have to show for it. These little cards took forever since I had to do them in 40 minute segments. I'm happy to say though that I now can use a paper cutter while in a horizontal position!!! Yes sir...i feel that I am making progress. I'm still not allowed to bend over which causes a major disaster when something falls to the floor. You don't realize how many things fall to the floor until you can't bend to pick em' up. Where is that "grabber" when you need it? All I can say is I have been sooooooooooooo creative when it comes to solving this little road block!!!
I am happy to report that I can pick up Skittles, raisins, M&M's and even brads with my toes! Yep...they make for great grabbers. It is amazing what you will do if you want something bad enough. Just today I wanted an apple and of course it was in the bottom crisper in the fridge. Nurse Rachett was off duty sooooo I had to be real creative! I found the longest knife in the kitchen drawer (top kitchen drawer) opened the crisper with it and stabbed me the biggest..reddest...juciest gala apple of the bunch! So..all in all I guess I have been pretty creative this week...it's just I don't have anything to show for it except these 6 little cards!
