The rest of Easter break

Tweet

Sunday morning I woke up to the house being chilly and a propane heater in the living room. I had asked my husband a few weeks ago to check the fuel tank for me and he said he wasn’t worried as the fuel oil will last a lot longer. He was wrong. He waited until my dad woke up to borrow a large funnel off him then he went to the gas station and got some kerosene to put in our tank. My oldest daughter came home around 11am so I could give her and her siblings their Easter baskets. I had filled 150 +eggs with candy, nickels and Penny’s. I had some empty eggs left so I thought it would be funny to put silly things in them. You can see in the photo some of the things. Some of the other items were dandelions, duck sauce, rubber bands, a disposable glove, an old house key, receipts and papers that said nope. My sister hid a metallic orange egg with $20 in it. It was in the crook of a tree that had been cut down. My stepson spotted it and had to climb the ladder to get it. We went to my sisters for dinner. I made Oreo peanut butter bars, soda, mashed potatoes, hot cross buns, and Mac and cheese. When we got home two hours later we found my husband had left the oven on after he took the ham out. Oops I’m just glad it was him this time and not me. Monday there was no school. The baby had me up until 1am the night before and I knew I’d be too tired to drive so I cancelled an appointment the baby had which was a 4 hour drive round trip. Just a yearly appointment so I didn’t mind cancelling it. My husband went outside to the load the beagles up while I went to get my daughter for work and he came in carrying his one 7 year old dog who was laying in vomit and barely breathing and not moving. He got his washed up got a heater blowing on him and was giving him water through a w medicine syringe. About an hour later her died. We think he had a heart attack and then his heart gave out. He was very high strung and always running back and forth non stop in his kennel and barking.
