Northern Mom

Jo was better for the last part of the week. Hubby has stopped going into work so early and is helping out more in the morning which is really nice. It makes a huge difference in the amount of time I need to get ready. I'm not sure which was worse, her fighting me to do anything or her wanting Daddy to do everything and I can't help at all. It works for getting dressed and brushing her teeth(btw thanks for all the ideas) but when it comes to doing her hair Daddy is all thumbs. I'm hoping that next week will be better. It will be the third week and with any luck a routine will soon be established.

Now for the dilemma of the week? I was reading the paper this morning and one of the obits was for a friend's sister in law. Sherri and I met when we were starting kindergarten. We stayed friend's until grade 11 when I moved. We saw each other once in a while, but didn't' really keep in touch. In the last few years we have gotten together at least once a year and our last visit was great! I've met her husband numerous times and he is a great guy. They live on Manitoulin Island so it's not like we can do lunch once a month. I'd like to go to the funeral home tomorrow, but I don't know any of his family. So, do I go or just send a donation?
There is visitation tomorrow and the service on Monday. I guess I have the night to sleep on it.

I'll let you know what I decide!

Ok..on to the goodies from the week!
