We have now been here for 2 weeks and I still don’t feel settled in. Still alot of unpacking to do. We did get the shelves up today so I’ve started unpacking books – but I didn’t get very far. I unpackedput away the boxes that were in the bedroom.
I tried to move a bookshelf from the garage into the living room but it wasn’t meant to be. I got the stupid thing all the way upstairs and then tripped and fell. The bookshelf fell apart landing on my back and one of the shelves landed on my head. A nail cut my arm. I took a beating but the bookshelf definitely lost as it is now laying in peices outside. It scared the twins and they cried for 15 minutes- then I decided it was time to take a coffee break. So we went into town for coffee (and milk). That made everyone feel better.
Back at work for a week after being off a week. I think I’m mostly caught up. Much of my stuff right now is drawn out so that it’s hard to get behind on it but it’s sometimes easy to forget about it! I try to go down my list every Monday morning and Friday afternoon just to see where I’m at with everything. Seems to be a pretty good system for me and it keeps the boss happy so that’s what matters.
Austin starts summer school tomorrow and summer band practice next week. He said he’s nervous but I think it will good for him to meet some of his classmates in a more relaxed atmosphere. He’s taking Tae Kwon Do, Guitar, and a class called Castles & Catapults. It will also give him a chance to get to know the school he’ll be in come fall.
I’ve decided I don’t care for the arrangement of my desks and computers but I haven’t decided yet on a better way to put everything. Definitely a to-do on my very long list of things to get done this summer.
I found a neighbor kid with a riding mower to cut the lawn today too. That was a big bonus because I haven’t been able to find any cheap used mowers and Austin & Jonny were being lazy with the pushmower and weed whacker. Hopefully the lawn will be cut tomorrow — if it doesn’t rain again.
Speaking of rain, I’m happy to report that thus far I’ve found no leaks. Considering all the other repairs that need to be done this is a real win!
Anyhoo…. I still don’tthink I can go to sleep but that’s about all there is to say at the moment. Everyone is sleeping like little angel-butts. Wish I was!
Goodnight, world!
