We have had a fine evening.   It rained and rained really hard.  We of course had decided to run a couple of errands in the rain.  But it was raining so hard we just went to the post office and came home.  The kids wanted to run in the rain and mud puddles!   Tom, Erik, Josh and Amy were all soaked.   Kristen was still sleeping.  

Then it was bath time for Josh, then Kristen and finally Erik.  Everyone is clean and ready for church tomorrow.  Amy's (Josh's gf) mom should be here to pick her up in a few minutes as should my SIL be here to pick up Kristen. 

Tomorrow is church, then I have a church committee meeting.  After all my church events I need to pick up the cake for the party tomorrow and go decorate for the party with my SIL.  Tomorrow will be very busy.   I am not very tired right now.  This is probably because I took a nap   Maybe I will actually be able to read for a bit before I go to sleep!  

Later!!

I just spent some time writing cards to some friends.   I haven't been writing letters in a long time.  The ones I have to write are way over due!!!   Life gets so busy that I don't keep in touch with my friends that I don't see often. 

My favorite group on yahoo MIchelle's Self Improvement Group also has a Randon Act of Kindness list and I wanted to write a few letters to those friends as well.   This is a fabulous group!!   I best get laundry done and supper on the table hubby will be home some.  I need to write letters to three close friends that I don't often take the time to write.  They have been on my thoughts lately so time to write a letter or two!!!

Hubby should be home soon...gotta run!

I just woke from a much needed nap.  Now I have to wait for the head fog to lift! Then I will get a few more things done around here.    Plenty of laundry to do that is for sure!!

I just don't seem to wake up very rested feeling.  ARGH!!  Tommy is usually in bed with us and I have to put him to bed in the middle of night.   Then he wakes me up in the morning before I am really ready to get up!!

It is now almost 10:00 and both Josh and Erik are still sleeping.  We will be going to the library today.   I am goign to put some sloppy joes into the crockpot and will call that supper.   I have to watch my nephew and neice again tonight.  They whould be here around supper time.  They were pretty good last night.  At about 10:00 Kristen and Tommy were fighting over every single toy since they were tired.

TO DO TODAY:

Laundry
Start Crockpot Meal
Library
De-clutter
NAP! 

Make sure to read all the way to the end!!!

       Too funny!

          A mother enters her daughter's bedroom and sees a an

Envelope with "Mom" written on it lying on the bed.  In great 

trepidation, she tears open the envelope and reads the enclosed letter, 

her heart in her shoes.

           Dearest Mom:

          I am so happy; I have eloped with my new boyfriend.  I have found 

real passion and he is so nice, with his piercing and Special tattoos,

especially the one with my name in a heart.  I just 

Love his big motorcycle, but it's not only that, Mom, I'm sort of

 Pregnant and Yaqui (that's Swahili for "Warrior Prince") said that we 

will be very happy in his trailer in the woods.  

He wants to have many more children with me 

and that's one of my dreams.

          I've learned that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone, so we'll 

be growing it for ourselves and Yaqui's friends, who will swap  for all the 

cocaine and ecstasy drugs we want.

           In the meantime, we'll pray for the science to find the

AIDS cure, for Yaqui to get better. Don't worry about me, Mom, I'm 15 years 

old now and I know how to take care of myself.  Some day I'll visit for you to 

know your grandchildren.

           Your daughter, Melissa Louise

          P.S.: Hey, Mom, don't freak, none of this is true.  

I'm at Judy's house.  I just wanted to show you there are lots 

worse things in life than the report card in my desk drawer  . . .  

Love you,

 Missy

          P.P.S.:  Call me when it's safe to come home.

Today was a normal day at work, then to the chiropractor again after work.  I am sore again and have a headache.   Since being home I have made supper, Turkey Cutlets with cheese sauce and broccoli.   This meal was a hit!  It was from the menu mailer.  While supper was cooking I cleared the front porch and swept the sidewalk.  I wiped down the door and the white chair outside. 

Now I am going to rest a bit and take my tylenol.  In a bit I will feel better than I will do laundry, dishes and clear the dinning room table. 

Early morning for work.  Went to a school meeting about an IEP, a pretty heated meeting at some points. Should be interesting.   Then back to the office to do some paperwork.  Then I went to graduation for a couple of clients.  They had each of the students give a little speech about what they were doing.  Some we living in group homes and some we living in their own apartments.   Sure nic to see them succeeding.  They were graduating from a transition program that prepares them for life after school.  They learn cooking, budgeting and other live skills.   Some students were even engaged. 

Then I went to order a cake for my in-laws anniversary.  I went to a cake decorating store and bought a cake top and then took it to the bakery.  I hope it turns out well.  

Then it was to the chiro, pick up Tom and home to make supper....and here I am waiting for the water to boil to make Spiral Pasta with spinach and bacon.   I so LOVE MENU MAILER!!!  I can't say enough good things about it and how it has made my life easier!

Later!!!   I am totally unmotivated to do anything after the chiro today.  Hmmm..I think I will take some tylenol and lay down.   Hubby will be home soon...YEAH!!  I missed him today after spending the weekend together and stuff.

Well back to our regular routine.  Tonight I worked a little late.  I got home around 7:00 and wasn't really feeling too well.   Tonight is our weekly cleaning night.   So after supper we all did our chores.   It sure is nice to have Josh and Paul helping, everything gets done so quickly.   Paul had trash and bedding.   Josh did sweep/mop and it was his night for dishes.   I do my chores and Eriks, which were vaccum/sweep and bathrooms.  The house is all clean for the week again. 

Hubby and I ran to Sam's club to buy diapers, milk and some cleaning supplies.   Then it was home for bathtime and storytime for Tommy.   I did a bit of cleaning in the entrway as well.  I wiped down our mirrors and pictures.  I hope to clean the chandlier this week some time as well.   I suppose I should do some more de-cluttering in the basement. 

Well it is past my bedtime so I think I will head to bed.  I have an early meeting tomorrow. 

TO DO:

Call to make drivers test for Josh
Order cake for in-laws anniversary party
