I got sick of looking at my filty home today and headed in the kitchen to sweep and mop the floor.  Well....this was the wrong thing to attempt, though I did get the sweeping done before my knee, siatica and back went totally off the charts!  Don't think I will be attempting that any longer and I'm thinking about finding someone to hire to do simple tasks around the house so that hubby doesn't have to come home after 9 hours at work and clean the house.  Of course.....I can't afford to pay much, but we shall see what comes out of that.

 

Still haven't heard from disability.  It's now in tenn I think being looked at by a special commity that deals with SS beni's.  So still waiting on that to happen.  I'm not hoding my breath either LOL!  It's about this time that the house gets a good going through and the Christmas boxes are brought up so that I can see what needs replaced and begin the ardious task of putting out the lighted deer, lights,wreath and lighted garland before it gets too cold to put them up.  They don't get plugged in until Dec 1st but, at least they are up and done before the weather turns for the worse.

 

Too, the cabnets are cleaned off so that all my christmas pretties can be placed.  I have this awesome village that is so gorgous as well as all my christmas bears.  I go all out decorating as you can see.  But....presents are going to be really slim this year so I gotta come up with something I can make hubby.  I have some Steelers material for a blanket so I think I will get it done.

 

Anyway, that's about what is going on here in lower eastern Kansas.  The weather has been up and down which has given me a head cold from the depths of heck!  UGGGGGG, does anything clear so that I can see the sun?

 

Hugggs to all!

P.S. Oh I forgot to mention that once again we (hubby and I) will be headed for his mom's for Thanksgiving.  Only time I really enjoy the company. :-(

You should try contacting the local high school or boy/girl scout troops.  Kids these days need service hours.  You may find that you can get someone in that way.  Kids will also work for way less money!  Of course, you might have to watch them!  ;)

 

I know when I was in high school I helped this lady (not disabled) who had a son with cerebral palsy.  She was so busy with early intervention therapies, that she needed help with things like vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing tubs and the like.  My girl scout troop sent her two girls a week for a couple of hours.  It was fun!  Her children were adorable; we played with them as we worked.  Check with local churches as well.  There are lots of options.
