A Week Later...


Calculator Buddy

Wow ~ what a busy week this has been! Now that Vic's mom is out of the hospital and back at her own home, we are busier than ever before! About 2/3 of my day is spent at Mom's house. She's going to need 24 hour care for a while yet. We don't know exactly how long ~ Vic thinks until Summer, but I think she's making really good progress and might be on her own in a few months. It's not really a hard job, because she's been able to dress herself and moves around pretty good with the walker (it has wheels!), but it's still time spent away from our own house and our own children. I know Shannon especially really misses us.

The other day at work I was making lists and came up with the following:

5 Things On My Desk That Make Me Smile
1. My Calculator Buddy (see photo). I have the Blue Buddy and sometimes I take him by the hands and walk him across my desk.
2. The kitty Microsoft Office assistant. I especially like it when he rolls over on his back and takes a nap.
3. The London snowglobe we got in London two years ago. I shake it every morning.
4. The Martha Stewart bathroom cup I found in the clearance aisle at KMart. I put a sticker of some little mousies jumping into piles of Fall leaves on the cup and keep my pens in it.
5. A photo of Vickie & Shannon taken in our front yard our first Summer in Michigan. They both had longer hair then!

I am so far behind in commenting!

It was great to "see" what you have on your desk. That kind of thing really shows a person's personality.
