Vacation
So, for the first time ever in my life I am off for a PAID vacation. Woo HOO!! I have lots of plans to get some things done around the house, things that just 2 regular days off won't allow you to accomplish.

1. Get the nasty carpet out of the dining room, which we have used as a school room. - DONE!!
2. Clean up and organize the garage - partly done and going to work on that more today.
3. Finish painting my master bathroom - that is for tomorrow - I have to climb a ladder so pray for me!!
4. Go visit friends in Somerset - that is for Friday.
5. Haul some compost to put in the garden and around some of the new beds, I think that will be Monday.
6. Just do nothing!! I am trying to do some of that everyday, it is kind of hard seeing as I don't really like to just sit around and watch tv for hours. But I might be able to just lay in my hammock for a couple of minutes.

It is nice to not have to go to "work" work, and I do enjoy doing work around the house. Goodness knows there is plenty to do around here. I am going to take Kenzie to see a movie tonight, probably Made of Honor or Forbidden Kingdom, or Spiderwick Chronicals. Not sure which. Puttering around the yard and pestering my flowers a bit. Did some tomato transplanting yesterday. So, now I need to go get on the garage. What I did yesterday really helped with the flow of getting the trash and recycling actually OUT of the house. I am going to gather up all my tools that my son has scattered all in the garage and lock them in my tool chest so he can't do that anymore. I wouldn't mind him using them if he put them away, which he doesn't . Any way - I gotta go get to it.

Here is my blog. It is the thoughts and feelings of an "aging," homeschooling housewife who serves at a local restaurant. I am an average everyday normal kind of person, although my "normalness" becomes less so in today's society. Read on and enjoy or just realize you may not be the only one.
