Still struggling, an Oh, Darn and Thankful

I am still struggling with the state of clutter in my home and nobody but me seeming to care about it. Last weekend I left home to go to work on Friday morning and did not return home until around 8:00 on Saturday evening. I took my son to my brother's home on Friday evening so my brother could take him hunting Saturday morning. Then ball practice Saturday afternoon, then home. I light bulb in my bathroom burned out sometime during the time I was gone. When a light bulb burns on when I turn on the lights I change it right away. No one else does. We went to my folks place for Thanksgiving. When we came home someone took of their shirt and put it on the dining room chair. It is still there. I know I should just buck up and take care of these things, but if I went around picking up the messes everyone else makes I would not get anything else done! I guess I should be glad that the mess does not bother any one but me. But I am pretty sure on the rare occasion that we have visitors, the visitors think that I am the one not doing a good job keeping the house clean.
I finished 2 QFK quilts. One was a kit they sent me, the other is from my own fabrics. I washed them. See the big red triangles in the one quilt? That fabric bled. Oh, darn :( I even used color catchers. My husband says they don't look too bad. And, actually the one from their kit doesn't look too bad, but the other one I am thinking I should not send.

When you look at this close up you can see that the white on white fabric shows where the red dye bled into the white. The cowboy fabric on the other quilt had a white background that is now pink. Oh, darn.
So as to end this post on a positive note I am saying I am thankful.
I am thankful for my family. My brother was kind enough to take my son hunting with him. They didn't see one deer, but my son enjoyed being in the woods and spending time with his uncle.
I am thankful my brother, his wife and daughter welcome us to their home.
I am thankful for being able to spend time with my family. We had a nice Thanksgiving visit with aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins.
I am thankful my mother-in-law is coming home from the hospital today. She has had some health issues the past few years, but nothing to terribly serious. She is feeling much better today.

So even though I do grumble I do have reason to be thankful. :)
