The Magic of a Box

As some of you know I am a Quilter, yes I cut fabric apart and sew it back together. Weird I know. But long before I was a Quilter I was a Crafter. Recently a friend gave me a little box. The box itself is a mere 6 inches wide 6 inches tall and 11 inches long. The magic isn't in the box itself but what it contains. There are little bags in each bag is a project my friend was kind enough to sort each project out and put in these magic little bags. I have looked at each bag more than once in awe of the possbilities it holds. Little pieces that alone don't make anything but together with other pieces will make a wonderful home made item. Yes I am a Quilter but this little box has brought me back to Yes I am also a Crafter.

Been here at moms for four days it hasn't been so bad this week I think I needed to vent. Will get to go home tomorrow night. Saturday Don and I will be married for 40 years So thankful for him and his patience. Love him more than life itself. Plan on making Mini Meatloafs for dinner and maybe scalop potatoes for dinner. Hope everyone has a good day.

Struggling with a decision as to weather to put mom in the Rest Home its been almost a year since we started taking care of her 24\7 I have spent most of the time here. I don't feel like I live at my house anymore. I miss being there and with my family. Getting tired, want to be home family has pointed out that my health has started to go down hill. Maybe their right:-(

I am a caregiver, I do not get paid for it. I leave my husband and home for days on end I live sleep and work in my moms home. There isn't a lot to do in a little apartment. I miss my family they do come often and help as much as they can. Don takes care of my home, the grandkids and helps me as much as he can. I sometimes wish that it would all end and I could go home. I know this isn't how I should feel but sometimes when I miss my home and family so much I can't help it. It seems like forever since I had a reason to complain about not getting out of the house as much as I would like. I love my husband home and family and I miss them very much.
