True Confessions

If you are looking for me- you will find me here:

I haven’t done a puzzle in about..oh, I don’t know…four and a half years maybe.   I was looking at puzzles while shopping the other day and this one caught my attention and I was like a drug addict waiting/drooling for a score. Is that the right terminology? I don’t even know. All I know, is that for the past few days, my spare time has been spent here. Alec has been threaten within an inch of his life not to touch it or take any pieces. I didn’t make the same threat to Erik but I am thinking maybe I should have. I can just see me getting to the end of the puzzle and there is one piece missing and Erik is laughing to himself walking down the Vegas strip. There will be hell to pay – I can assure you that!

I had forgotten how therapeutic a puzzle can be – fitting the pieces together and watching progress being made and peacefully ignoring my family.

This probably says a lot about by mental state but lets not go there.

And because I know you didn’t check out the blog to hear about me….we quarantined Alec over the weekend. He had stuffy nose and we didn’t it to blossom into anything so we laid low and made some juice to fight the germs. It did the trick and no major cold for him. Now I have it. I want to quarantine myself so I can do my puzzle. :)

If you are keeping track (and knock on some wood for me) it has been over 3 months since he has had one of those mysterious high fevers that come on quickly with the very bad headaches. Yep..since he got his tubes. Guess they made a difference. And since we are talking about the tubes. They have completely made a difference in his hearing. He really couldn’t hear us. I had been on the fence about whether he really needed them or not  but now I see it has made a huge improvement in the quality of what he hears.

And so, I will leave you with this….

(mom and dad you will notice…the coffee maker has not moved since you left..and at this point it won’t move until you get here again…and yes…we did at least clean it)
