I’m more likely to go to Monroeville Mall down the road a bit as a zombie or doing a Santa or Easter Bunny gig, but I’ve been at that one as well. Back when flea markets were big Miracle had a really great one going.
On Diggerland; our plan is to hit it June 19th. I’ll probably just do the dozer during the day since we want to hit the road towards Dutch Wonderland (new coaster) the same day. This is one of our whirlwind trips we’re doing in place of this years convention with Rehoboth, Ocean City, Diggerland, DW and then home. Depending on how your schedule looks, let us know – maybe we could work a ax killing I MEAN MINI-MUMPFEST along the way.
I got a pretty decent nights sleep, from 10ish to 4. I would have liked to sleep until 6, but 6 hours is better than 2.
I have a lot to do today, finish laundry, clean up the kitchen, and do some yard irk. I’m avoiding taxes for today, I think a break and then go back at them with fresh eyes. Then we’ll tackle his taxes, I’ll help him this year. His should be easy, should.
**MetalMouse **- and anyone else - there 's a SDMB group on FB and there’s an invite for trying to meet up for the March for Science next week. Just FYI.
Blurf Was up until 3am ish doing laundry and cleaning. Less I will have to do this weekend.
We have no Easter plans yet but I am thinking we will find a local buffet/brunch. I will make some deviled aigs as it just won’t be the same without them. Heck I may even decide to cook.
I can’t even with the taxes. We always have to pay as hubby is self employed even with the quarterly payments. I guess I don’t have enough withheld but I pay health insurance, dental, life and 401K plus all the other taxes.
Closing for re-fi is Moanday. We got a 3.25% fixed rate which I guess is good. Plus there will be escrow so no having to come up with all the insurances (wind, flood, homeowners and taxes) every year at roughly the same time. The scam part of this is the closing fees are close to $4800. One charge was a $25 courier fee. My hubby has been the courier. Scam I say.
The bed has been taken apart and moved. I have vacuumed, dusted, and washed, dried, and put away a load of laundry. Go Me!
Sis says mom is still out of it this mornin’. She wouldn’t eat breakfast but did take a few sips of water and juice. Looks like this is what we will deal with from here on. As long as she’s comfortable and not in pain I’m good.
Chimney guy is here cleaning and giving me a lesson on keeping the pellet stove clean. Wish I’d been told this stuff years ago, but now I know. After he’s gone, we’re going to get lunch - I’s hongree!! I just had a few crackers, but I need real food.
Swampy I know this is so hard for you. Enjoy each minute with your mom. I miss my mama something fierce. It’s been almost 17 years we lost her to a fall causing a massive brain bleed. We had to let her go and there is not a day, hour or minute she is not on my mind. If only i had been there maybe it would not have happened. You are there. That is really all you can do. Now I have something in my eyes.
Because iffn she burns the place down then he looses a customer. :dubious:

[li]Swampbear is there. [/li][li]MamaBear is there. [/li][li]BrotherBear is (or at least was) there. [/li][/ol] [ul]
[li]You set up a bed to make it comfy.[/li][/ul]
Ummm, I gotta ask does Sis have blonde hair & are you having porridge for dinner?
He told me how I should be maintaining my pellet stove so I don’t face expensive repairs or worse. Because he’s a professional and he takes pride in his work. Because he’s a nice guy.
Why else would he take the time to educate me? I’m not sure I understand your question, flytrap…
My eggs are all boiled and peeled. We lunched at Cracker Barrel, late enough so we won’t be having supper. I’ve got a load of jeans in the washer and I’ll get all the laundry done today. **FCD **is napping because he overdid it today by mowing everything and sucking up way too many loads of leaves.
Tomorrow, I’ll plant my partridgeberry ground cover. There’s a chance of rain in the afternoon, so if I get it all planted in the morning, it could get a good drink from Mother Nature. So yay!
Skimmed. ((Swampy and Mama Bear))) I needn’t tell you to treasure this time with her, because I know you will. Just know I am praying for you and yours. rosie’s sig (rip) to all!
Coming up onto the 4th day of Passover here. With that and crunch time at work, plus the hot water tank going out, it’s been a crazy week. I love all yunz, though, and I’ll try to be a better mumper soon, I promise!
The hospital bed, oxygen, wheelchair, and bedside potty for mom were delivered and set up this afternoon. I was shown how everything works and am supposed to show family. Lord have mercy on my family for having to depend on me to teach them. Also thanks be to God for the hospice workers who will probably have to show my family all the things I got wrong.
I went to the country [del]hog trough[/del] buffet and got a go plate with catfish, mac ‘n cheese, pinto beans and corn bread. I’s stuffded! In a little bit I shall put on grownup pants as opposed to the shorts I am currently wearin’ and take myself over to good ol’ St. Mark’s for the Good Friday service.
