Hit the ground running this morning, but that's alright. Get-er-done, as my husband says. Kids and I went to my mom's, took her groceries to see her through the weekend, she bathed and I set her hair. The least one polished her nails, and all the girls saw to her outfit she's chosen to wear to the wedding. She's good to go. She won't go to the rehearsal dinner, because it'd just wear her out. One event is plenty.
Got last-minute things at the store. Middle daughter is making Lemon Squares right now, and later on I'll do Potato Salad, the Chocolate Picnic Cake and some tiny yeast rolls. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the cooking, once middle daughter is finished. I can flow with that. The least one will put together slaw, which is my mother-in-law's recipe and is wonderful. No mayonnaise, so it'll keep nicely.
This really doesn't sound too bad. I'm at home, no other errands for me to do personally today, so that's a blessing. And oldest daughter left a bit ago to take her youngest brother to the tux place. Then they'll go to the rehearsal dinner home and clean the tables and chairs with their dad, so they're ready to be covered with plastic tablecloths tomorrow afternoon.
A small drugstore run sometime tomorrow and sanity can commence. Maybe. I'm optimistic.
Or maybe multi-tasking is becoming so much a part of my life, brought on with my mom's care, that I just do it. Complaining the whole way, but it gets accomplished. Fussing is my way to vent, I guess.

A cool piece of news. My married brother's wife made a quilt for the blissful couple and it's a Memory Quilt. I've not unpacked it from the mailing box, but she added a permanent marker so maybe they'd want folks at the wedding to sign it. That's their decision and I could go either way, but it's awfully sweet, no matter. This sister-in-law and I butted heads after my mom's stroke, so for her to be so generous is a blessing I won't go into further. I'm indeed thankful. Seems with weddings, births and deaths folks forgive quicker. Clears out the cobwebs of disagreement.
Must go. Take care.
