Oh my gosh - I almost forgot! I got my unemployment check! LOLOL! (thank God - we really needed it!)
Well - Mom never made it down today. She wasn't feeling too well..poor Mommy. : - ( She should be down tomorrow. I had a very busy day today. I cleaned out 7 storage boxes full of kids clothes from the attic. I got 2 garbage bags full of clothes to give away. I have them all packed up and ready to go to a friend who has an adorable 1 year old little girl. The other boxes I consolidated, relabeled and retaped shut. Paul put them back up in the attic. He had also pulled down a bunch of boxes of my old clothes ::sigh:: too small :::BIG sigh::: Mostly old skirts, sweaters and sweatshirts. So, I stuffed them into 3 large garbage bags and will donate them to the local old/new shop. I also rearranged the furniture around in my bedroom and vacuumed. UGH! Major dust bunnies! More like dust elephants. My bedroom seems a WHOLE lot bigger with the furniture being rearranged. My Mom will be bringing Nana's jewelry box down for me to use ::sigh:: Her birthday is coming up.. April 19th. While I was doing all of that, Paul was at our neighbors, helping them move their storage shed to the opposite side in their yard. They are getting a pool and needed to rearrange their backyard, including moving the shed and swingset. Lord - I am tired! I have church in the morning and I will be teaching Sunday School the following 3 Sundays. Ack. I need a vacation!
Don't you hate writing a long post to your blog only to have it disappear? Poof! Gone! Dagnabit ::muttering cusses:: Ok - let's start again. I had problems with Blogger last night and couldn't post. I hate that - grr! So, I decided that I would read my JavaScript book last night, in bed. Hahaha! I lasted about 20-25 minutes. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember was jolting myself awake around 3am. Ooops! I dropped my books, pen and glasses over the side of the bed and went right back to sleep. LOL! Lights still on and everything. My father in law was down here around 9am this morning to pick up some lawn equipment. I zipped out to ShopRite to pick up some bagels (the only kids KIND that Olivia can eat) and "cream cheese" by Tofutti. It's actually not too bad. They also have an online store - guess who will be doing some shopping?? Mom is coming down today with a bunch of things for my garden, including shasta daisies! YAY!
