What a crazy day yesterday!

Yesterday I woke up and I was planning to do some laundry and cleanup of the house yesterday. I don't know why, but for some reason I got up early (at least for a Sunday early) and I started to hear what I thought was the pitter-patter of feet on top of the roof our house, in which I thought the squirrels were being rambunctious. I got my laundry and started to head downstairs. Instead I saw this as I looked out the top window of our living room:



Isn't this supposed to be spring???

I worked downstairs, tossed my laundry in to the wash, and then began breakfast, making some bacon and eggs for myself and my folks. While I was doing that, I decided to also make some lunch as well, and I whipped up some chicken noodle soup for my folks in the crock pot for lunch. By the time breakfast was done, I tossed in a second load of laundry, and then started to tackle the outside snow. I cleared off the walk, which was a slushy heavy wet snow, and then got inside in time for lunch. The chicken noodle soup did wonders to warm me up. After lunch, I got the all of the clothes dried, folded and put away. I was still cold, so I went for another small bowl of chicken soup. And then...my energy ran out. I was so tired and exhausted, I couldn't stay awake. So I thought I would lay down for a quick minute nap at 3:30 PM. That turned into a 2 hour nap. I got up at 5:30PM, well past time for me to make any dinner. So I got into the car, drove to a local rib joint that I know has some killer baby-back ribs, and got me and my folks 3 half slabs of ribs (a full slab of ribs is overkill, it's like 3-4 pounds of ribs) for the 3 of us. Delicious.

After that, I still had to clean up the rest of the house, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms, and by the time I was done with that, I had missed the Game of Thrones premier and it was 9:30PM. I had just enough time to shower and shave, and then I passed out.

Today I got up super early to make breakfast, clean off my mom and dad's car for snow, as today is chemo day for my mom for her 3rd dose. I hope it goes well. To be honest, I like to go to work because I can actually get a break in at work as opposed to home, dealing with taking care of both myself and my folks. It gives me a chance to rest a bit here. The good news this week is I only have to work 4 days this week and I'm off for Good Friday. So hopefully this will be a quiet week this week. Plus Easter is this Sunday, so I hope it will be a quiet one this year as well. With my mom's cancer, is giving this Easter an odd one, because I don't know if this year could be her last one. I know family holidays can be stressful for some people. But make sure you take the time to show your family love. You never know if it could be their last one. Thanks for reading!

Offically we got 4 inches where I lived, but up on the north end of Chicago area they got over 8 inches of snow! Crazy!
And yeah, you never do know when it could be the last. Which is why I say I love you to my family every time I see them.
