Score, Homerun,Goal, you name it

Well, with all the good intentions possible, I made plans to get the taxes done earlier this year. I got all the paperwork out and put it on the coffee table. Only to dance around it for two weeks.
It got down to the paperwork and me giving each other stink eye, I swear to it.
I was actually walking wider paths around the table to avoid sitting down and doing it.
I would look at my poor husband and tell him soon, honey.
So Sunday, at the end of the Super Bowl, I did it, I got on the computer and fired her up.
A few hours later, I finally staggered away from the desk with a glazed look, how do they change the rules so quickly each year? But on the brighter side, hubby had fired up the grill and cooked us hamburgers. What a saint.
So now, that huge elephant is out of the room and put away for another year, I hope.

So all in all I had a score, homerun and goal all in one day.

A Sad Week

I haven't been on here for 2 1/2 years, due to a very sad event in our families lives. It affected so many people and was so wrong on so many levels. We are beginning to get our lives back and I will most likely address it again, later.



I have been promising a class mate that I would start writing again, but said it would most likely be things off the wall and from the top of my head. But before I start, I want to acknowledge some losses this past week. One dear friend lost two precious aunts this past week. My own very special aunt was taken suddenly, this leaves a hole that will never be filled. She loved me unconditionally and like a mother should, even thought she had seven sons to fill her days. She always had time for me. I used to spend as much time as possible eat her house while growing up. My cousins were the best. I had fun from the minute I got there. Those memories will always be with me.



Then today we get word that a another classmate lost her mother. No matter how prepared we think we are, it hurts. We know time is creeping up on us and that this will happen more and more often, but it doesn't lessen the pain. My heart goes out to all that lost a dear one. Bless you all.
