Hello all.
Trying to get back to some sort of normal today. We are all feeling a bit better, but still not over whatever this is. Kids are having lunch right now and afternoon will be filled with school. Hopefully tomorrow will be an actual full normal day with everyone well. Hubby was talking to some clients at work and they said whatever this is, it is making its way through the school system in our area.
So, other than school, I will try to catch up on laundry and ironing, get in as much of a workout as I can handle. Can you believe I have not skipped a single workout with this illness? Being the workout junkie I am, I can't seem to make myself set it out, even when I know it would be best to do so.
It is cooling off around here too. Highs later this week in the 70's according to my "weatherman" teenager. We still have so much to do to prepare for winter!
Get more firewood and the chimney fixed on the greenhouse, for starters. Need to get several big loads of gravel delivered in the driveway. Also need to finish cleaning out the greenhouse and getting stuff ready to start in the fall (which is right around the corner). Have some outdoor painting that needs to be finished up also. Also several new rentals to get up and running. We like to go through the winter with all the rentals filled, if possible. Don't want those extra utility bills!
So please, winter, hold off a while longer! We aren't ready for you!!
Oh, also to add something else into the mix. We had an unexpected leak in our kitchen. So hubby has the whole side with the sinks ripped out replacing everything. This is an inconvenience the next few days, but on the plus side, it will be the first time in years that I will have three dishwashers all functioning at once. That really will make things quicker.
We have a birthday here in a little over a week. I got some of the gifts ordered last night, but would like to make a swap.com order for her as well. I am HOOKED on this website for the kids clothes. They are used, but they don't get holes in them quickly like the new clothes I was buying. I am able to get better brands that hold up this way and they are CHEEEAAAAPPP!
Catherine, you might want to check it out if you have never ordered from there, with all your kiddos. I couldn't be more impressed with the quality and even the way they package it and how quickly it arrives. All of the clothes look like they have never been worn.
Anyway, enough jabbering from me. I hear the kids finishing with lunch. Off I go. Lots of learning to do.
