I am writing here as not few people read this, I think...but for the past few months I have not been a very happy person. Things with my immediate family have been stressful with all sorts of things, too many to mention here; but to start out I think my marriage may be ending.... we do not talk, we argue, he only knows how to bring things up in the past - leave it there, go forward, or at least try to move forward.
I am physically sick and the only time I really do smile is when i am with either my grandson or if i see my father. I think if this is the end that it will break mt heart to tell my dad that I have failed again......
Not sure what is going to happen.....I just pray that God is close by.......
For those of you who do pray, please add me to your list......

Three years cancer free
Well today I came home to three dozen beautiful pink roses from my girls, Ron, Patrick and assorted animals to CELEBRATE THREE YEARS CANCER FREE. It's hard otbelieve that three years ago today i had my last chemo treatment - not as bad as so many other women, but it ended a chapter and started another - getting healthy. Thank you so much girls and guys - I love you all

Where have you been?
I know its been a long time since I have blogged - life has been hectic to say the least. The last time that I blogged I think I wrote about the big clean out of Mystic - well its done and there was an open house last week and there were about 60 people there - let's just hope that an offer comes soon.
On another front, we still have our house guest and I think that we have made it very comfortable for his, as it doesn't look like he is leaving anytime soon. This has taken quite a toll on John and I and we truly need time alone soon - last night John asked for just 72 hours with no one around - no phones, no work - maybe that will happen next week when I am on vacation....
And the UCONN women won again tonight!!!!!!!! Yeah - tomorrow night is the final game and we will watch it at home I think. Either way I can't wait for the game - I would love to see us go all the way to the Final Four.
The past week-end I had a lunch date with my girls and Patrick - I think we should do this monthly especially with Jen's schedule until the end of May - she has one show after another - I worry that she is not getting enough sleep, but she's a big girl, and I am still just a Mom.
As I am blogging using Becca's computer I am not sure how to get a picture from my flickr account - so tomorrow I will write again and add some picturesm here.
Peace

Memories and moving on.....
Another night in Mystic.......
Tonight when I arrived at Clift Street, I was greeted by Debbie who was cleaning out the china cabinet with Sue, Chris and Dad supervising. This was one task that had to be done, and what was very cleansing for me was seeing many pieces of our family history being given to us - it was funny how we would see a piece of our past and remember when it was used. When we came across the platter which was used on family holidays we decided that we would pass this back and forth to whoever hosted Thanksgiving, etc. Sue said that Pete would get a big kick out of using it at their place. I can't wait to have a holiday at my house again to be able to use the platter.
I had posted the other day about one of my favorite things about Mystic is the front doorway. Well I had taken a picture of the window on Saturday - tonight I took a picture after everything was taken down - it looked sad - but again we move forward.
It just looks a bit bare - but again progress.
I think that we will all be glad when this chapter is over. I cannot even imagine how Dad and Chris will feel as they see changes being made in the house. I guess we will all have some different feelings with them being so close. It is my hope that while I know Dad, Chris and Droid will probably stay in Mystic that they find the perfect place again, just like Mom and Dad did 35 years ago.
It's late and time for me to get some shut eye - Peace everyone

Clean out still going on...
Well, today started our early....... but a wonderful way to start any day. I spent the night Becca's. We had a great night with Patrick - Grandma got to give him his bath and then I rocked him to sleep. He went down and slept until 1:30 this morning - fed, smiled at Grandma and made my day - who cares that it was late and that I really wanted to sleep a bit more - a smile from a little baby can made you forget everything.
I was hoping that Becca could have spent the night at our house, but I still have my house guest - so no room at the Inn. Maybe another night this week. I cannot wait. Becca and I can catch up o Grey's and Private Practice.
This morning I left early to get up to Mystic to start working on another room. We got a lot done, but I have to admit that right now if I go up another flight of stairs I may scream. We seem to be making a dent in one room and fill another room with more stuff. The dumpster is overflowing so that must be a good sign.
One of the memories that I have of Mystic is when I would stay there with the girls and in the early morning, getting up and coming down the front stairs to go to the kitchen and have a cup of tea with Mom. When you come down the front stairs you would see this
This is one of my favorite things and I wish I could say that I might get a piece of this, I do not see this happening. We did find my Mom's bag that she carried sometimes and it would make a great bag for any of Elizabeth's small knitting projects. I will clean it out for her and see if she wants it.
It been a long day and I still have at least 2 more week-ends of work up in Mystic before the closing - so I will sign off for now - and hope to get a good night's sleep.
To all my friends who need those extra prayers I am never too tired to keep praying, but I am too tired to type anymore. Shana Henrichsen, I wish I had one ounce of your energy.
Peace
