  • MS and The Covid Monster

    Covid Mask Up

    Y’all ‘member when I showed off my beautiful house with the stunning view for the first time? First there was ohhhing and awwwwing. Then there was the “have you lost your minds” comments? Okay, so that last one was mostly our kids. “You guys aren’t aging in reverse! Those stairs are gonna kill you!” (Spoiler alert no one has died) NO Well, for the first time I think I’m ready to tell my children that they might, perhaps, may not have been exactly so incorrect.  (pffffftttt we ALL know I’m not REALLY going to admit squat!) So, Covid has hit. Yup, slammed into the side of the house and oozed through to the insides. Covid plus MS? Ohhhh soooo not a fan! It’s hit The Husband with the full force of all those nasty little germs.  He is now bed bound.  Ummmmm well, this sucks! The stairs. Yeah I am no longer a fan! Having been through my Mom being bed bound certainly did prepare me for this. Some of the tricks and equipment (which THANKFULLY!!) I saved (even against naysayers that we would never use that again! HA! I TOLD YOU SO!!). Little things that make my job easier. Except the…

  • Why Parents Need Life Insurance

    My amazing view

    So, this happened….. let me start by saying, grab a cup of coffee or tea because this is a long story. It’s also a great tale of WHY parents need life insurance. Anyone read the cartoon Calvin and Hobbs?? I feel like Calvin’s Mom in this story. Then I could title this post Why Parents Need Life Insurance because, yes, I am saying my grown @#$ husband is Calvin. The MS Monster As most of you know The Husband has MS (multiple sclerosis) lately he’s been having a rough go of it. Legs are wobbly, at times he feels his legs are completely gone. His balance if off, memory is bad. All of it. Trust me he’s a hot mess. (FINALLY, it’s HIM that is the hot mess and not me! WHOOO HOOOO!!) However, right now he is going through a particularly BAD couple of days. We are talking wheelchair, walker, or cane about 90% of the time. Time To Clean! The second part of this twisted tale has to do with the house. Remember when we moved to Idaho, we bought a 100000% fixer upper. (With a stunning view!) We replaced all the windows, and doors. Added a new…
