Going crazy, wanna come? The wine's on me!

Wow, so much stuff can come at you all at once, one morning you wake up overwhelmed, the next thing you know, you wake thinking I lived through that? That's what boxes of wine are for I guess! So yes, there was a death in my life, and moving on is slowly happening. I think because so many other things are going on there wasn't any real time to dwell.
The puppy (Tuzzi) is just over 4 months old, and has started to poop at all hours of the night, leaving me with little or no sleep, it is worse than having a baby needing night feedings! At least with a baby there is some cuddling involved, with a puppy, it is more like poop/bark/play/bouncebouncebounce/bark. On the good side, she isn't biting anymore!
My granddaughter is going back to her mom's next week, school will be out,, yayyyy! I have been helping out at sports day, book fairs etc so it has been busy busy busy, and I was looking forward to having the summer to myself. That is not to be! My niece, who is 18 and totally awesome, is moving in! She unloaded some of her stuff last night, and will be back tonight with more. On the upside of this, she works for a dog groomers, so she knows LOTS about puppies and is great with dogs in general, so I am hoping for some tips on puppies and poops!
My mom is back in the hospital. She is in the beginning stages of dementia, and last Friday I had to call the ambulance, she couldn't get out of her kitchen chair, and was nodding off and not knowing what was going on. They kept her in till Sunday, pumping her full of fluids etc. When they released her, they let her change by herself. Well,, she fell, and they still let her go. As it turns out, she broke her tail bone, and they never x-rayed her at the time, so they completely missed it. I went to see her Tuesday at home, she hadn't moved all day, so I took her to get checked out. Surprise surprise, she is back in again. I don't think they will let her go home again, the hope is too keep her until she is well enough to be released, but from there it looks like it will be straight into a care home.
Throughout this, our reno is done! The painting and trim were done, and now I just need some time to rearrange cupboards etc to get all my stuff in. Lots of it is still in boxes as it seemed pointless to unpack everything till it was ready.
Last week and this week they are working on the fences in the complex, so we keep having to move everything into the centre of the yard. They have finished the power washing, now they are painting. Tomorrow they should be done with ours, and our yard will once again look like something besides a tornado after shot.
Tonight is a huge Aboriginal BBQ, and Tela is pow-wow dancing there, so should be cool, then tomorrow is an awards ceremony at the school where helpers (yay me) get acknowledged. Saturday is a huge complex-wide garage sale, so tons of stuff to do in the next couple of days to be ready for that. Then we have just enough time to get her stuff organized and packed for the trip home. I will be heading over with her for a few days (tattoo time with my daughter, hehe), then back again for hopefully a calm and peaceful summer. YA, RIGHT! Anyways, off to catch up on all the blogs I have been missing out on. It's good to be back!
