Boy life can be a doozy! We had one of the best vacations ever this summer. We went back to Pennsylvania and visited my hubby's family and just soaked in all the beauty....
But surrounding that vacation, our poor little dog Squeak injured her back playing with the cat (she is part cow) She charged the cat and the cat leaped into the air and landed on her! She lost the use of her back legs for a couple of weeks...scarey!
But the good news is she is doing great and it seems that she only had a couple of side effects, her tail doesn't quite work the same and she goes down the stairs differently...we are so happy....we were so worried!
Then, when Squeaky seemed good, I was so excited to go back to work with shorter hours (4 hrs.) My mom is needing more help and I want to build the antique business.... But then my mom got sick....
She has been sick and in and out of the hospital for the last 6 weeks... I feel so bad for her. I am caring for her, she is 83 and has done some...let's say..."quirky" things lately...like go off of all her meds for 3 days! Oh my! I am having a tough time...she can be VERY Sneaky! Oh did I mention she is on medication for her heart, blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and blood thinners?
Worry, worry........
But... We started school and I am in a new position that I love this year. We have 6 little preschoolers and they are darling and rascally and I am so happy.
Last week I came down with the cold/flu thingy, my doctor was very understanding that I was taking care of my mom and gave me meds and I am healing..cough! cough! And luckily my mom hasn't gotten it...
So.... I guess what I am trying to say is...Life has it's ups and downs... I just need to be grateful of the Ups and plow thru the downs.... Whenever I am feeling defeated, I look at our vacation pictures, or at our cute little Squeak or in the faces of those cute little rascals I work with and realize...life is good....
Well, life has been busy-busy...
My poor mom has been really sick over the last month and finally came home on Friday only to still be nauseous and feel yucky. Today a doctor finally listened and prescribed her some anti-nausea meds and she is doing better.
We ran over to the booth today and re-arranged a little. I found some really cute things at the local flea a couple of weeks ago and we took them in today....
I love this little shelf, so chippy and charming....
And we have had this birdcage awhile but I am always in love with birdcages....
I got this darling pink hairdryer at the flea...wouldn't it be cute in a retro bathroom or in a hair salon?
This child's folding chair is darling and I am smitten with the milk bottle carrier- so many uses!
I added some bingo cards and game packs for fun.....
And this little shelf with the key hole and knob was originally for my home but I never found the right place for it...I like the little sugar jar on top....
This little blue fan was hard to part with...we had it running because the heatwave in Calif. is too much right now! We also added some freshly painted picture frames...they are usually a hit...
And last but not least... a little cheese box filled with whites..
Well, I hope you enjoyed the little tour. I am joining Etsy Cottage Style's Party- Vintagey Goodness... I am in love with all things vintage and just couldn't stay away! And on Wednesday, I will join Timewashed's Blissful Whites Wednesday....
Thanks for visiting! karen....
