tuesday

So boyfriends family is coming for a visit this week.
They gave me a weeks notice, something I asked for.
I wish though I would have said give me a weeks notice but before
you book a flight talk to me first.
I was scheduled for a 12 hour shift on the day they arrive, and boyfriend has 2 doctor appointments on the day they leave.
It makes it all a big juggling act that makes it feel stressful when it really should just be fun. So I'm trying really hard to just go with the flow...I am looking forward to seeing them!
 To boot,  I talked to my dad yesterday. He had an aortic aneurysm repair a year or two ago..... the repair is leaking..  They've scheduled him for surgery for this Wed to repair the repair.  He wants me to be at the hospital with him but asked that I not tell my sisters about the surgery until after all is said and done. He doesn't want them missing work  or having to juggle their schedules.
I was going to use this week for getting things ready around the house for company.  Now though I'll  use today to get things ready and hope it stays that way until Friday.
Seems nothing is ever easy anymore................

I spent yesterday painting the railing around the front porch and I also gave the porch floor a good washing with soap and bleach. I cut back all the tall grasses, something I usually wait until Spring to do but I got tired of looking at them. :O)~.....looks so much better.....
 The whole front of the house looks so much better.
