Number one, it sucks to be brought down by allergies and sinuses when it is still 90 fricking degrees outside. Especially when you have a 4 almost 5 day weekend coming up including an out of town trip and are trying to bust your butt at work to get stuff done before you go...Oh well, sorry, I had to eat 3 more hours of sick time and come home at 1 yesterday, hit the nyquil, and go to bed for 4 hrs. I had called Ron to let him know I would get Shellie off the bus and then take a nap, but he said he would come on home and take care of stuff so I could sleep and try to knock the crap out of this before it turned into a sinus infection or worse...as it tends to do...nice thing is, the kids pretty well take care of themselves anymore--well Shellie still needs guidance and so on or she would be outside playing with the neighbor kids and the dogs that aggravate her seasonal allergies until 10 pm!!! So I didn't have to worry about anything, just rest....thanks guys!!
2nd, if a school system is going to do teacher enrichment or whatever the hell the current excuse is to get out of actually teaching, then at least coordinate the schools...Shellie went in at normal time today, but gets out at noon, while my Ben at the high school went in 3 hrs late and gets home at the normal time.....go figure...so up at 630am to make sure Shellie doesn't wear daisy duke shorts and so on to school, then look at my kitchen and got the cleaning bug...it lasted just long enough for me to rant about how I am the only one who ever does anything around here---patently not true, as my darling husband does his share, but has been concentrating on getting wood in this week , and to get the high schooler to sweep and mop the kitchen floor like I requested he do last Sunday--it's now Thursday....he did a good job though.....
So kitchen is mainly cleaned up--need to clean off top of snack bar and kitchen island, both are catch all's, and vacuum the dining room, but I can tell we have a countertop and dining table now. Load of darks in dryer and towels in washer; oldest son's (the college one) bed is finally put back together and the junk in his floor is now in his chair--sorry Chris but motherly love only goes so far--and most of the stuff I need to take to PA this weekend is in a stack on his bed....quilts and pillows are back in place in the living room, papers gone through and coupons cut out, and papers are now stacked in wood basket next to fireplace to be burned when needed. My quilting area is picked up somewhat. So except for a few minor details, I am done cleaning.
Which leaves me time on my hands to do what? Well I need to hit the grocery store--I am considering giving the Save a Lot in Hamlin a try, just for someplace different. Takes me about as long to get there as it does to WM in Bville, or Kroger......and probably less hassle, as long as I remember to watch the speed limit signs thru W. Hamlin......or I may hit WM or something this evening when I take Ben to his extended TSYO practice in Huntington...and no, I won't shop for anything in Huntington if I can get it elsewhere.....a matter of principle.....
I also need to go thru boxes of papers in the garage and get rid of the junk and make sure we have the important stuff.....but it's such a daunting task, even after all I have trashed the last 4 yrs, there's still a lot left.....
Or I could mess up my quilt area a little more.....hmmmmm......
I'll let you know who wins.....:)
