TGIF

Hi again!

Goodness, what a "busy" week.  DD continued to run a fever and finally I took her in to the walk-in clinic in Summerside yesterday.  Our family doctor passed away in Feb, and they have yet to replace her here in the Valley.  Therefore, the doctor who is here is very busy and isn't taking appointments til the end of the month!  So, we had to go and wait about 2 hours to see the doctor, as they don't take apppintments at the clinic. DD and I took a drawing pad and the card game UNO to keep us busy.  We actually sat just outside the office at a table (the office is upstairs in a grocery store and the employees or whoever can eat up there) and we played cards.  The time passed by quickly.  The doctor diagnosed her with a sore throat and gave some antibiotics.  However, since her fever seems to be close to normal, I'm holding off on giving her the medicine.  She finally went back to school today.  Yesterday, DS brought her school work home and she was able to do all the work in about 25 minutes!

The Heritage Fair at the school was yesterday.  They had 47 really nice exhibits for grades 5 and 6.  I got to see them after getting back from the doctor's.  I also got to see the award presentation, but DS and his partner didn't place. It seems I was at the school often this week, with driving DS to school with his project, DS missing the bus, and having to take him early yesterday to set up the project.  I sent a note today to send DD home on the bus this afternoon and not let her go to the After School Program she usually attends. This saves me one last trip this week! (Plus I don't think DD should be running around so much after being sick

 :-))

I got a little project done this week.  We had an old fitted flannel sheet that got ripped when it was stored inside the pull-out couch bed.  I patched it with a pink heart! And then it got worn and ripped again.  I cut it into pieces.

(wow, what's up with the weird lighting in the hall?)

And I used them to make black-out liners for our bedroom windows.   

Each window has two layers which really work to block out most light, but when the sun comes up you can still tell it's morning.

Before, I had pillow cases pinned to the curtains.  They didn't quite cover the windows and I had sunlight streaming right into my eyes in the morning!

If you can't tell, I still need to actually sew them together.  As I'm not sure my sewing machine is working, I just pinned the liners in place and put them up.  In fact, the whole curtain set needs to be sewn and hemmed.  Not sure when I'll ever get to that!

Have a nice weekend! :-)
