If you haven't already, get your taxes done. I saw somewhere that tax day is the 18th this year. Don't quote me on that though. We file our taxes early so any change to the usual April 15th deadline is not burned into my radar.
DH got a sticker shock paying the registration on the SUV for the first time. It was due this month. Yea, hon, new cars cost $$$$ in registration. My truck was $30 for 2 years. The SUV cost $430 for 1 year. Poor DH!
Anyhoo. Enjoy your month, y'all! Almost to summer!
My husband just recently had surgery and he’s doing fine, but being a business owner this is one of the hardest times of the year for him. I hate tax season
So sorry about your DH Lindley. I'm hanging in there. Still can't get over that I can't call mom anymore. I remember savoring my last days with dad because we all knew this was coming. I think I was way more prepared for him than for mom. Such an empty hole. So hard. Anyway, sorry for whining. I count all my blessings every day. I can't believe it's already April. I have a cardiology appointment next Friday. I am currently on six different meds and my BP is still not under control. Going to a new doctor for a second opinion. Can hardly wait till the new grandbaby comes.

Happy Good Friday! Thank you DH is getting better, but still has some pain, he’s going to live :) Njn, grief takes time and it’s ok to cry a little at times, the first year is the hardest, its ok to cry and even talk to someone. Congratulations on your upcoming grandchild, I have six and each one is a blessing and will help fill your heart with lots of love…. Hope your cardiology appointment goes well and your BP settles down.
We went to Church then lunch. Took my dad by the nursing home so he could drop off stuff to my mom. Dropped by rehab to visit grandma. She wasn't in the mood for visiting so it was short.
No egg hunts this year. I asked DS if he wanted to and he said no so we didn't.
#2 wanted an egg hunt, #1 just wanted the money, so we placed values on each egg and hid 6 of them. Both found 3, and both found the same amount of money. So that worked out well.
I'm heartbroken to say that grandma died earlier today. We're all hurting very much. DS is taking it very hard and will be out of school for the remainder of the week.
I was holding her hand when she died. Her last moment was totally her. She made a total wth face and breathed her last. Life will never be the same.
My maternal grandpa died when I was in junior high. I don't miss him in the aching hurting way only because I didn't have much of a connection with him due to distance. I suspect it will be a similar thing when my maternal grandma dies. She'll be 101 in August.
My paternal grandpa died in 2014. I miss him greatly. DS was 6 months old when he died. I wish he could've seen DS grow up more but it wasn't to be. He loved LOVED that boy. DH's and my anniversary is on his birthday. It was his request. Every year, I write a post to him wishing him happy birthday and telling him about DS' antics over the past year and cry while doing it.
My paternal grandma is the one that died yesterday and was the grandparent I was closest to. She played a large role in raising me and shaping who I am as a person. She and grandpa taught me a lot of practical life skills and ensured that I would be able to stand on my own two feet. I remember being told to sit when they sold their house when I was 18 and they were having discussions with the realtor all because I'd need that info some day. Still haven't used it and don't know how much I'll remember when we do buy a house but at least I have some clue how selling a house works and some insight into what buyers look for.
So sorry chef. Sending my love. I know exactly what you're going through.

Lindley - It's odd having her gone. It just doesn't feel right. I'm sure a sense of normalcy will return with time. DS went back to school today. He was eager to get back to school and see his friends. He told the office that he's still sad but he's glad he's back at school. They were happy to see him back.
