Welcome to my patchwork journal. I enjoy expressing myself through fiber. Tiny pieces of vintage quilt blocks and fabric combined with hand stitches create my art. When not quilting I'm living a patchwork life. Always changing and helping to keep me young and on my toes. Join me in my experiences and thoughts.

Have You Ever Had One Of Those Days?
Yesterday was one of those days for me. I don't think I ever had one so crazy in a very long time. First, of all I had my day planned (in my mind). Maybe my first mistake. About 5:30am, Son knocks on the bedroom door, telling me that he thinks Short Stuff needs to go to the doctor, for a cough that he has had for a couple of days. He tells me he will call. Personally, I think it's allergies and will run its course. Short Stuff has no fever and is acting just fine. Coughing every once in a while. So, here goes the day.
*Pick up, clean bathrooms, dust, make beds, vacuum, sort clothes and put in one load of laundry. Because at 1:00 an appraiser is schedule to arrive to appraise the house.
*9:00am Realize I have not heard from Son, so text him about the doctor's appointment. He says "can you do it". Fuming a little, I make the appointment for 10:20.
*I had sold a Christmas Ornament and was packaging it for the mail, when I drop it and it breaks
*Then while trying to email the person about the broken ornament. I get a phone call. Breaks my train of thought.
*Look at the clock it is 10:00. Hustle Short Stuff to the car and we are off. Half way there I realize I did not download and copy his health insurance card. His Dad has a crazy policy that has to be renewed every couple of months. It is always a pain. Anyway, no card--I'm just hoping the one on file will work.
*Wrong, the card does not work. I'm totally frustrated, besides my arthritic knee is starting to pain me. I make an appointment for 1:00, thinking I will just run off that card and we will be good. Also called appraiser to see if we can change times. Now he is coming at 4:00.
*Then we, run to the Post Office to mail some packages and stop by grocery for a couple of items.
*Get home, log on to the website. Son's insurance ran out 2 days ago, and of course the reminder was over looked. So, now I have to cancel the 1:00 appointment. I'm so thankful Short Stuff was not horribly sick.
*Appraiser arrives, fix a light dinner for just Short Stuff and I--everyone else is working. By this time my knee is feeling awful. I'm feeling awful. Short Stuff is yawning, it's 5:45pm.
*So I make the decision that neither of us can handle being vertical any longer. Short Stuff takes a shower, brushes his teeth, takes some cough meds (over the counter), we read a book, he has his evening snack and is in bed watching PBSKids.
*I put on my pj's, let the dog outside for her evening run of the back yard, dog comes in, jumps in bed with the now sleeping Short Stuff.
*I texted my hubby and told him of my day and that I was going to bed. It's 6:30pm! Familypatchwork Happiness!
