tomorrow is dad's birthday.
today started out with a bang... dad fell- no broken bones or anything else bad, so that's a blessing. i'm trying to get him to use his walker again-- not having much luck, but i'll keep at it. thankfully, he's getting up more normally now. he's still not much into eating, but we're making pretty good headway. i gave him a light and simple breakfast but he managed to begin choking.... amazing how lil ole me pulled him up out of his chair and did the heimlich so fast. at least i know i've got it in me. that ended ok. but then the doorbell rang and then... mom's pup peeing right in front of me..... i sat down when everything was all done and laughed my ass off. mom started to giggle when she heard me-- then she got to laughing. whew-- "that was easy." uh huh.
had hoped to get away a bit today to help youngest son get his christmas shopping done-- our morning show here and some contractors arriving the house early afternoon immediately changed that plan. poor kid. honestly-- this poor kid. he always seems to get stuck at home for one reason or another. others go pretty much wherever, whenever.
well, WE'RE GOING to get out tonight when i leave here. i've already brushed oldest daughter and hubby off... i owe this time to the pinch hitter. besides, the others will thank him later.
because hubby managed to get the christmas shopping done, i've wrapped one childs gifts today. only 3 more children to go (we're not doing adult to adult gifts this year).
our pups has joined the fun down here this afternoon-- the contractors drive him nuts. he's been entertaining dad and mom and has finally put his head down for a nap as i type this. anyway, by the time we get home and get the kid, some tile should be down and two windows replaced. i heard the tile guy left already. he was supposed to work until late tonight cuz he's blown us off for 2 weeks now but his wife is sick soooooo, we wait again. so'k, he's doing the right thing. but, so much for having a floor to walk on christmas day!! guess we'll just go around.

Just a few more days and all this Christmas maddness will be over with.
I'm glad to hear that dad is doing a bit better. Breathing a sigh of relief.
