I was able to sleep a little later this morning. I love just laying in bed for a few minutes....gather my thoughts and then rise....so comfy. I quickly cleaned my kitchen and did a walk through to make sure things were picked up then headed in to Mom's house. I washed up a few things and then went through her clothes closet. Not easy at all. Mom has some beautiful clothes, especially tops. I know someone that could get good use out of them and really appreciate them. The rest will be taken to the Salvation Army.
Tomorrow my older brother said he'd come help if I was going in. I may go for a little while, but we need to get things organized before we go any further. He's gonna have to slow down just a bit. My younger brother should be home tomorrow but I doubt if we'll see him. I know he's going to be very upset that I won't allow his wife in the house. But too bad. I got to speak with Judy on the phone today. You all need to give her a call...she has the best laugh and the sweetest voice. I so love speaking with her, so the next step...we have to meet. She speaks just as she types.....such a wonderful lady...love ya Judy!!! I guess that is about all I've done today...now I'm tired and sore and yes....in bed already.

Sandy, I have a crazy busy week too. Gary and i are going to get the hunting stuff out of the shop tomorrow morning before it gets to hot. Yes, its supposed to be 100 degrees tomorrow. Monday is absolutely crazy crazy day at work. I will barely have time to go to the bathroom! The painter is supposed to get started on the kitchen Monday. Hopefully he will finish on Tuesday. I will spend the week at work getting ready to be gone the following week. Then in the evenings, I'll be getting ready to go to Oklahoma Friday and to Colorado on the 20th. It makes my head spin!

Dae Lynn, the kids, and I went on the 100 mile Garage Sale yesterday. The weather was beautiful!!! We didn't find as much as we were wanting too and I think that was because everything was pretty picked over. The sales were also on Friday and I think that was the best day to go......next year I'll know better. We were hoping that after lunch that Dean would fall asleep and he did but it only lasted for 20 minutes and he turned into a bear after that. We kept shopping but it was pretty miserable for Dae Lynn and he wouldn't even go to me. Next year I go on Friday.......take NO kids......and have a blast!!!! We probably went to 25 garage sales or more and shopped until after five......usually garage sales only last until one or two o'clock.
Glen's having a blast scuba diving!!! He's with a friend, Logan. Logan's wife and I have been good friends for years but we haven't done much together for a long time so I went over and visited her after church. It was nice to see her. We're probably going to be doing some traveling together if our husbands keep scuba diving!!!! That will be fun!!! Well....I need to be packing. Our seniors group at church is going to Eureka Springs for a few days and we signed up to go. I don't remember what all we're doing but it will be fun!!! Glen and I are one of the youngest couples in our senior group and we don't usually go and do things with them but they are a fun group and I usually have them laughing at me!!! I'm a clown!!! Anyway........we're leaving first thing in the morning and will be home sometime on Wednesday. |

After reading your posts, I don't feel so busy. I'm just not working fast enough, so I'm postponing my move until the 23rd. I'm just afraid that if I move in, I'll not get all my wants finished. I sure am tired for the little bit of work I accomplished.

I have studied non-stop and when I took my quiz I got a 61
More studying so I can pass my test. It's so discouraging when you study and you don't do well. |

Sandy, I know what you mean, when we moved I was exhausted for weeks. I felt like I would never get rested! And yes, do everything you want to do before you move in, we did a lot, but not everything and now we are having to go back and finish everything we should have done before we moved.
Jessica, can you talk to your teacher about the test? It sounds like you didn't study the right things or maybe didn't study the right way. I bet your teacher can help you. We went to Cabelas today. Gary needed some rubber boots and also needed an orange hat for hunting. I needed an orange hat and vest too, in case I go out hunting with him one day. I'm getting excited to go to CO. It's one of our favorite places to go. Gary should not go to the elevation and I know it will be a fight to get him to wear his oxygen. I hope I don't have to wrestle him to the ground to get it on him.

Gayle, make pictures of the wrestling!
Speaking of pictures ... I have been making pictures of my house, but can't upload them from my phone or iPad to 4wt and I've had my apartment inet turned off. Not much has changed. I put in some new mini blinds, not what I wanted, but can't do $100/ window right now.

Well the oxygen company delivered some more oxygen bottles today and I heard Gary say he was going to use them while in CO, so you can rest assured that I am going to remind him that he said he was going to use them when he balks at wearing his oxygen (and he most assuredly will balk at some point). I just hope I don't have to wrestle him to the ground in front of the outfitter (smile). I'm on my phone so I can't insert the smiley faces.

I have been so busy! I feel like I haven't been here in ages. Life is so hectic right now. It seems there is always something going on. I'm second-guessing my new job still. Layla needs a new sitter now that her sitter broke up with her fiance and brought her cousin and his wife and their two pitbulls to live with them... Not that I'm against pit-bulls because I'm not at all, I love the breed, but I don't trust big dogs around Layla at all, and the whole situation is just really sketchy.
We have been gone almost every weekend for something. I am ready to just stay home! Our deck is nowhere close to finished and we will probably have snow in the next month or so. We also keep getting company at the very last minute. Right now I am just running some water for a bath before jumping into bed and I thought I'd take a minute to check in! I miss you all!

Lindsay, I'm so glad you checked in - sorry life has been so hectic lately - it will surely slow down sometime. Did you find anything at the bridal weekend? I think I remember from FB that you were going. Take care! Hope things get better.

Regular Monday ... All my managers are out at an offsite in Galveston, so I'm goofing off ... Got the first 100 gals of propane delivered, but water heater needs a small part replaced before lighting ... Now, its tuesday and I have terrible acid reflux so I can't sleep until it passes.

Blah Sandy! Too much stress with the move - take care of yourself! You are going to be tired today! Hope you can "goof off" again!

My son and I went to Mom's today to mow and trim her yard. She was paying someone to do it so we just told him we could handle it from now on. Didn't really do much else...little bit of laundry. Real exciting day...
Tomorrow I will be meeting my brother Jerry at Mom's to start in on the spare bedroom. That shouldn't take too long and then we'll start on the living room. After that...the kitchen, attic and then her camper. I will be glad when it's all done.
