The last couple weeks have been crazy busy. A weekend back home at my Dad's for my Grandma's funeral. That was bittersweet, as although we had to say a sad goodbye, we also got to spend the weekend with family we don't see often. The girls enjoyed a chance to play with their cousins (as well as beat up their uncles ha!), and it was nice to spend a couple days back where I grew up.
When we got back home, I spent a couple of days catching up on all the laundry, and tackling some housework. I managed to paint my bathroom - gone is the chipped and scuffed magnolia, in it's place is a sunny yellow!
Then my sister-in-law came to visit. We haven't seen her for about 18months, and she's being sent out to Afganistan soon (she's a nurse in the RAF) so it was great to catch up with her. We had a weekend of more catching up around the house, a little crafting, a little 'school work' and then my parent's in law came for a quick visit too!
Now I'm looking forward to 10 days of 'normal;ity' before my mum comes to visit! Crazy times. But the best, it's the little things that make up the tapestry of our lives. I've on a mission to spruce up this house the best I can given a very tight budget and the fact it's a rented house!!!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother's funeral! I lost mine also and miss her so much.

Thanks. It's sad to think she's gone. It's making me wish we lived nearer to our family so we could spend more time with them x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the normality while you can, althought I've come to think lately 'normality' is a bit of an illusion. Enjoy life. Sprucing up your home is so much fun, enjoy!
