We had a very nice Easter. I love having the whole family together and seeing all the grand kids inter act with each other. They always have so much fun. The food was great and they had fun with the egg hunt and nobody found the eggs with the big money in them so everybody had to go back out and keep looking until they finally found them. It was so funny. We always hide two eggs one with a ten dollar bill and one a five dollar bill and I guess they hid them go good this year. Then it started snowing while we were out trying to find the eggs. Nice spring Easter. lol. The only bad part of Easter was Terry was not feeling well. His back is giving him fits. He's been pretty much out of action for about 5 days now, even using a cane. He's in allot of pain. He did go Easter but we were the first to leave so he could go home and he could lay down. It is beginning to loosen up just a bit today he said, but not much. It usually takes at least a week when it locks up and when this happens. Well yesterday was a busy day for me. Some of the grand kids spent the night at my daughters but then her kids had dentist appointments the next morning so I watched kids in the morning while they went to the dentist. After that I had to go to the grocery and to Sam's and then came home and had a nice pork roast with mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner. Well by the time I finished with all of that I was done in. I watched some TV in bed and then went to sleep pretty early for me. Today we are having left over pork make into chow mien for dinner. The sun is shining but it's really windy outside and in the low 50's. I need to read my book for my book club for this Thursday, if I don't I'm not going to get it finished, so I'm off to read. 
Happy St. Patrick's all!!! We're not doing anything special today that I know of. We may decide to do something later, who knows. Had a nice weekend. Terry went over on Saturday and helped our son Michael with his basement. I think he's really enjoying working with him, just the two of them and getting to talk and stuff. Sunday we had nothing planned and then we got a phone call from our daughter saying her father in law was supplying dinner again. This time it was spaghetti and meat balls. So I got busy and made some brownies for dessert and we had dinner over our daughters supplied by her father in law. It was great. We asked him what he was having next Sunday?? lol But that's Easter, already, can you believe it. Easter is really early this year. I just hope we have nice weather for the kids Easter egg hunt. Well have a nice day. 
Here I sit all alone today. I could have gone with Terry but I decided not to. He went over to watch one of our grandsons play basketball in the city (Cincinnati) finals and then afterwards he's going to help our son with his basement. Well I didn't want to go and have my daughter in law feel like she had to entertain me all afternoon, so hence I stayed home. Our oldest grandson turns 17 today. Wow! I really don't mind staying home, as I'm reading the follow up book to "Pillars of the Earth" which is "World Without End" by Ken Follett and it's over 1000 pages and I can use a day or so of reading. I'm a slow reader so it takes me awhile to get through a book that thick. It's so heavy too. I weighed the book and it weighs almost 4 lbs. I get tired holding it, so I prop it on a pillow most of the time. Well I'll do allot of reading today and some laundry. I'd love to go for a walk to but it doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate. It looks like it's going to rain, so we shall see. 
It's supposed to hit 60 today. Usually on Thursday I spend the day with my daughter but today she had allot of things she had to get caught up on and she wanted me to just meet her and go out to lunch with her in between and I said lets just forget this week since you've got so much going on, so we're not doing anything. Well I might do laundry. When I got up this morning I stepped onto the bathroom rug and my heel must have been bleeding as there was blood on the rug, on two them in fact. My one heel is very dry and has cracks and I keep putting lotions on them 2 or 3 times daily but I've never had them bleed before. Well I've now got neosporin on it and a band aid but I'm going to have to wash the rugs. They needed it anyway. I've been waiting for nicer weather so I could put them outside to dry. Well I guess I can't wait any longer now.
Today being Thursday is the day I spend with my daughter Patti. Fri st we went to DSW shoe store so I could look for a pair of nice looking black flat shoes. Well I found a really cute pair in the back in their reduced section. Then we went to Victoria Secrets where Patti had a coupon for a free pair of panties. We then went NY something and looked around there and I got the cutest sweatshirt that is gray with the hood being gray and white stripe and it has two little pockets on the front. It is too cute. I just couldn't pass it up. Then we went to eat at La Rosa's and had stuffed pizza. I'd never had that and was it good. We had it stuffed with mushrooms, onions, spinach and tomatoes. Yummy. Next we went to Sam's and then to the Library to just return books as we were running out of time and then to Kroger's to pick up my Rx and then home to my sick hubby. He has been sick since Tuesday. Don't know if I've mentioned that or not. First he throw out his back and it was in spasms and then he really started feeling yucky to boot. So he's been down with his back out and down with the flu I guess. His stomach has been very upset and he's been achy all over and not eating much at all and basically just laying around on the heating pad taking pain pills. His back has stopped spasming but he's still aching all over. I'm hoping he feels better tomorrow. They say this flu thing last 3 or 4 days. I feel for him and I'm hoping and praying whatever he's got, I don't get it. Hugs to all.
Not much going on. Did nothing yesterday but read and watch TV after going to Mass. On Saturday we went over our son's and Terry helped him in his basement (he's starting to remodel it) while I went and watched one of the older grandson's (Alex) play basketball. He won and I was impressed with his playing. It's a shame he's not taller. He plays on an intramural team not on the High School team, but I think it's nice they even have teams for kids that don't make the high school teams so they can keep playing and keep active. Alex is the grandson that might have to have back surgery. You sure wouldn't know it by watching him play basketball.
