Well, we had to get our house sprayed again for fiddle back spiders. My heart dropped when we were moving furniture into the middle of the room to expose the baseboards and finding out that my daughters room had the most!!!!! I don't think I will EVER buy a foreclosed home that has been vacant for a period of time again. I have a feeling we will always have a problem with them. They pretty much leave us alone because they are 'reclusive', but I couldn't take a chance on one biting my baby girl.
So in the meantime we are staying at my boyfriends parents house to avoid the poison. I have to say although I have been coming here for years, it is weird to be here alone. His mom is such a clean fanatic that I am afraid she is going to come home from the hospital and freak out when she notices that I am not as good a house keeper as she is...I don't know if anyone is:) Please lord don't let me ruin her pots and pans!! She uses cast iron and I really don't know how to take care of them. I just cleaned it (making sure not to use anything abrasive, and then a thin layer of olive oil.?.?)
Oh, and not to mention this woman can cook up a storm!! I hope my mediocre cooking will be good enough for her. I tried to make out a menu with variety in it. We are used to eating tostadas, pizza and repeat:) I don't think she would be impressed!! She is also a side dish queen...I never take the time to make side dishes, except for the occasional frozen corn or green beans. Like I said, mediocre!!
It is still sad to think that his dad is gone, I look around and see all of his things and can't help but feel so sad about it all. Why couldn't he have just gotten banged up instead of die?? I got to see pictures of the place that it happened and you wouldn't believe how far that police cruiser pushed their car. It had to be at least 100 feet!! It happened when he was yielding, but the car ended up in a prairie off in the distance.
On a lighter note, his mom will be coming home on Tuesday. She will be wheelchair bound for 3 months because she can not put any pressure on her hip. I really feel for her having to come home and face reality. At least my daughter will be here to hopefully distract her a little bit. I don't think she has really had the chance to grieve yet. This woman has helped me so much in the passed years that I am honored that I will get to help her.
I brought my crochet to keep me occupied and thought that maybe she may want to help me make some frogs for donation. She is very crafty and it would probably help her exercise that wrist. She loves to do things for charity so I am sure she will be up for it. She will probably be able to do 5 in the amount of time it takes me to do 1:)
However, they have cable. Need I say more?? I have been slacking to say the least.
