Lifes Like That

As you can see in my previous post, I had every intention of dyeing my hair today, but that didn’t happen.  Early this morning I got a call that my mother-in-law is not doing very well at all.  So, after making several phone calls to try to get someone to grab my kids off the bus, I headed up to the hospital.  She’s in a lot worse shape today then yesterday and the doctor’s are only giving her a matter of hours now.  I feel really bad for her immediate family and wish there was something I can do for them, but the only thing I can do is be there for them.

So, if you don’t see any posts from me for a few days, now you know why.

As you all know, I am a seriously crafting person. But, there are still certain things that I wish I could do but know I can’t. I really wish I could create invitations like my sister-in-law can. She just mailed me an invitation to my nephew’s wedding, and I came to find out that she made these invitations by hand. There is no way that I could ever create anything like that myself. And if there ever comes a time when I need some invitations made up for myself, I know who’s door I will be knocking on. But, on a lighter note, she can’t sew, so all her sewing needs are directed at me.

Well it’s Monday so the kids are back in school and my husband is back to work. So, I’ve decided that today is going to be a me day. I have had a box of hair dye hanging around this place for over a month and thinking that today will be a good day for me to dye my hair. I’m getting a little tired of looking 59 when I’m actually only 39 so today I’m going to take care of that problem. Over the weekend, my father-in-law was teasing me about my hair, so I haven’t told anyone what I’m up to today. So when we go into the hospital tonight to see my mother-in-law, he is going to be for a major shock. I hate dyeing my hair and since I’ve been going grey since I was 16, I get tired of dyeing it. But, when I start looking like my kids grandmother, then I know it’s time to haul out the box of dye.

A few days ago, I really wanted to take a cup of coffee with me on my morning bus stop run.  My daughter found this to be quite amusing.  But where there is a will there is a way.  The one thing that I did learn from this particular adventure is don’t take a FULL cup of coffee in the car while your trying to drive if it has no lid on it.  Big mess!  So this morning, after much thought, I decided to try to take a half a cup of coffee and see how I made out with this.  I am happy to report that I had more success with this adventure.  But, in all honesty the most important thing I learned in all this is that if you want coffee on the go, buy a travel mug!!  So, I bet you can’t guess what I’m going to be purchasing today?!
