Ode to Lisa!

This past month has been crazy! Trying to get everything done at once. I DO NOT want to be without my husband anymore than I have to!!! So while he is starting a new job, I am left trying to take care of things here and with having a son like Nicholas, that is close to impossible. So last week we went to see Ben and scope out the new area. LOVED IT! But that's another post. While there, I speak many times to my sister-in-law because she's taking care of my cats, mail and so on. Then one day she spent all day at my house "cleaning up" little odds and ends. This makes me a little nervous cause I am not a "Merry Maid" by any means!!! And two, I thought she was here because my brother was sick and she didn't want to get near his germie butt! But if anyone knows Lisa there are no "odds and ends" there is a "start and complete, or DIE"! She comes in cleans my baseboards, cleans my cabinets, cleans my light in the kitchen, cleans my bathroom floor, touch up painting EVERYWHERE! And when I say everywhere, I mean the 12 foot ceiling that I have in the living room! AND NO MORE TAPE!!! After 3 years of tape being on the ceiling where my husband left it, I WAS GONE!!! I almost cried. To be honest, I almost did cry. Don't let Lisa's tough exterior fool you, she is a very caring person. She sees what is truly important in life to others and helps them out when it is needed or deserved. She is the first to offer a lending hand, she is the first to offer her services when needed, she is first to see when help is going to be needed. Her life is not filled with wants or little useless things. Everything she does has a purpose, with a little QVC indulgence here and there. She is one of those rare few that can take something from beginning to end without a distraction or an error and finishes it to a perfection. She does not know how to do it in any other way. We pick on her about her knowledge of useless information, but there is so much more to her than what meets the eye. She told my mom she didn't want me to worry with things while I was still here, but to enjoy my time. And thanks to her, I will have more time with my family. I love you Lisa, you are truly one if not my best friend and I love you too pieces!!! Thank you for so much, and not just for what you have done for me while I was gone, but for picking up everything I left off because I have either bitten off more than I can chew or it couldn't do it by myself (even when I thought I could!). We are two totally different people but with matching size hearts that make our relationship what it is today. Thank you for being you!
