My surprise

Last night I went up to bed at 8 to read as I usually do and went to sleep at 11. While I was resting, then sleeping my kids had shown up. I heard my son and yelled down to him to let him know his clothes were in the dryer. He said he was showering then heading back to his friends place. I went to sleep. What was really going on was that my daughter picked my son up and brought him home and together they quietly built my porch swing. It was a surprise to see it this morning on the porch. It’s just like my kids to do something like this. Now all I have to do is buy some cushions for it. I have my eye on a couple of different ones at Lowes and at Wayfair. Not sure which ones I’ll get. 

Not sure what I want to do today. I woke up in a lot of pain this morning and don’t think I can really do much in this condition. I went to my mom’s this morning and just got home. I found my new air conditioner on my porch. It looks like my dad is going to buy it off of me. He wanted one with a remote but dinne this was cheaper he is thinking he may just take it and pay me on payday for it. It would help me out alot. Otherwise I will end up bringing it back to Walmart. 

I ran the vacuum and cleaned up dog puke yet again and just doing that hurt quite a bit so I’m sitting and watching TV. I would be out on the porch but I’m looking pretty bad today so I think I’ll wait till tomorrow. I’m thinking of getting a couple dog leads and hooking them up out front so the dogs can join me out there. It may be a mistake because of the barking but I won’t know till I try it. I want my babies out there with me!

Tonight I’m just going to make my broccoli cauliflower casserole for dinner. I usually make it as a side dish but it’s just me here anyway and it’s so good I could eat it as a meal. I’ll probably have the last mini cheesecake that I made for my snack. I’m giving a few of them to my daughter for her and her boyfriend. I know they’ll love them! 

Anyways, that’s it over here! Keep on keeping on!

I wonder who’s idea it was to put your porch furniture together? I bet it was your daughters?

Maybe when the porch furniture has all it’s cushions maybe you can take a picture and post it here?

Just take it easy and be safe.

@jaythesmartone I certainly will take pictures once it’s all ready. And yes my daughter picked up the swing st the store and had already talked to my son about building it. She didn’t want to wait on him to try doing it on his own so she suggested she help him and do it right away so I don’t have to wait.

Your kids sound so sweet! It is a testament to the kind of parent you are. A porch swing sounds so relaxing. Enjoy it! What is causing your pain? I feel for you. Is there anything that helps. I hope you are feeling better soon. <3

@celestialflutter I have Degenerative Disk and Bone Disease, Meralgia Paresthetica and a couple of other things I can’t remember the names of. The pain is constant and I’m on pain medicine. It takes the edge off but doesn’t eliminate the pain completely. Some days are worse than others, especially when there’s rain.

@mamaqueenie518 I’m sorry to hear that. I have degenerative disc disease so I can understand a bit of what you are experiencing. I can usually manage my pain through yoga and core strength exercises. Sometimes it gets so bad I need the heavy drugs though. Thankfully it is few and far between. Hoping you find new and better ways for comfort. <3
