the weekend
The frigid temperatures this weekend has kept the family inside.
That is ok with me. Yesterday morning we ran to Lowes just to look around and on a complete whim we are putting Pergo in our kitchen today. We had talked about it in the past, but within 30 minutes we were loading Antique Oak boxes on a pallet cart and swiping the debt card. So, the project will begin in a few minutes. I started doing some prep work.
I think I have the possibility of being a much better house keeper if we just had less stuff. We have way too many things and the number increases by three fold it seems – the more I give away, the more we get back. I cleaned out the shoe closet and found that my daughter had ten pair of flip flops in various colors and 5 pair of tennis shoes, now mind you these are the one’s that happened to make it to the closet, her room stores more.
We have 4 vacuums (5 if you count the broken one in the basement), 3 printers and all of their cords, computers, monitors, coats, backpacks, blankets, pillows, books and more books and random things all over.
I even admit, I have too much Longaberger.
Yep. I said it.
Too much Longaberger.
I have made a commitment not to buy any more until the Breast Cancer awareness basket comes out in August. (think good thoughts on this one - I cannot be swayed by the marketing evils)
I am glad it is a long weekend; I am going to get things ready for a garage sale to benefit the Peru trip and purge/recycle a few items.
I have a paper due on Friday and will be at class all weekend long and the two following weekends I have commitments with the National Guard... And then I am off to a place affectionately named “lost in the woods” for ten days of Army training.
I will be traveling for work Tuesday – Thursday of this week so I need to check off a few things on my list before I leave. I typically love traveling for work or with the National Guard, but I will let you know on Thursday, if I felt the love.
I am thankful that I have a corporate America job that keeps me busy, as well as a busy National Guard unit. Not to mention a busy teenager.
The trip to Chicago was a perfect break before the storm of busyness. I am glad we headed out there last weekend, today they are predicting record low temperatures. Hope this passes before Blackfive's adventure.
