Then, this past weekend finds my oldest son moving in, temporarily, with my dad and youngest son. I'm glad we have room for him there and I think he'll play a big part in helping out with Dad. Joe has been having some issues in OKC and needed to come home for a respite.
I did take time out yesterday to work on some comfort blocks for

I also finished two more Midget blocks.

Don't look too closely or you'll see where I was shy just a bit of the sky fabric at the top of the airplane block. I misjudged the size of blue fabric I needed, but I think I'll be able to catch it in the 1/4" seam. Since I won't be taking Dad in for rehab today - waiting to hear back from the doc because I'm worried about his low heart rate, now! - I plan on doing a little quilting on another comfort/thank you quilt that's been sitting here, waiting patiently.
I have to admit, I've been a little out of sorts the last few days. I finally admitted to my husband last night that I think I may be a bit depressed and that is not like me at all. But, I have had no desire to really get into my sewing room and I have all but abandoned the gym. So, I'm pulling myself out of it right now and will do some sewing and plan on hitting the weights and treadmill tonight as soon as Judy gets off work.

What a week, no wonder you couldn´t concentrate on sewing. I hope the best for your Dad. The plane block is just so cute. Take care.
these parents issues/child issues can really sidetrack us..good to churn out a few blocks at any rate
It sounds like a lot is going on in your life - take time for yourself when it can - it helps. I just got back from being at my Mom's for 10 days and am looking forward to getting back to work on my projects and getting out and doing some walking. I'm used to following my own schedule!
YOu've had a heck of a week...don't beat yourself up...take some time for you. This is a difficult time...you are truly sandwiched between your parent and your child. Take care...Carol
I hope you are able to dig in and dig out of your funk.
{{{hugs}}} Veronica. You've had a stressful week, so it is absolutely normal for you to feel stressed. And friend's parents dying. Hopefully with your Dad back home, and your son where you can watch him, things will be easier. Be sure to take care of yourself.
38!? oh, my Veronica---it is a wonder you could get him in and out of the car. Sure hope that situation is resolving. Joe can certainly be a help to all of you right now.
I recognize that heart block--the one from WWQP? we use it for our memorial heart quilts. I keep meaning to ask you what QOR stands for though.
