Yesterday turned out to be a really rough day, and today isn't much better.  My hips flare up all the time.  But yesterday, my bad hip was actually swollen and so tight I could hardly move it.  Taking a step was SO hard to do.  I don't know why it was so bad, and I can't think of anything I could have done to make it swell like that.  Today it just aches so much.  Plus, I have a splitting headache.  I woke up with it. And it is slowly traveling over the top of my head and is just starting to go down the back of my head now.  So that won't be fun to deal with all day.  

I did try to get some cleaning in our bedroom done.  And i did some.  Plus I did my laundry.  Only mine and it was 2 small/med loads.  Which it isn't much, but it was sure nice to be in bed in fresh clean sheets.  Funny how fresh sheets just makes me smile.  It isn't like I never change my sheets, but this time, they went right from the dryer to the bed.  Where normally I just take a set out of the cabinet to put on the bed, and they loose their fresh clean smell and warmth.  

I also did my mom's laundry she had 3 very small loads.  Not worth doing, separate, but she is really fussy about towel lint and knits being with her shirts.  And I mean REALLY FUSSY!!  I hear about it for a year if she finds a towel thread on her shirts or pants.  I can see not washing them together, but we can't dry them together either.  She wants towels to always be separate, where I think if towels are with socks and tee shirts, even jeans, who cares, but she prefers each kind of fabric to be with it's own kind.  So ok, we will do them separate if that is what she wants.

Steph cleaned the glass on the stove, and it is SOOOOO clean, it is almost like there is no glass.  Ok, so maybe not exactly like that, but pretty close.  Compared to what it was... it is a HUGE difference.  I am so happy I can see the fire again.  

Lauren got a load of fabric in.  Some really pretty fabrics too.  So she has a lot more aprons she can make again.  She even has a couple of buyers lined up.  And with the width she made them, I can even wear them and be covered.  So any "normal" person can wear them and be covered well.  She was going to do a lot of sewing today, but she isn't feeling real great, but she has been working really hard, so I reminded her, it is ok to have some rest time.  Colton is having her make him a blanket for his bed too.  And Steph wants one as well.  I might help her out with that, as she really has a lot to do already.  

All the kids are home today.  They have all been enjoying a down day.  Well, the girls did run down to Minong to get us lunch.  No one wanted to cook.  My mom is making us dinner.  She wanted to do that at least one night while EO is gone.  Colton will go over and pick that up later.

man, my head..and hip hurt!  I need to go veg.
