This past week has been too hectic! I had a party for James' 30th birthday on Sunday afternoon. I think everyone had a good time. Just a lot of visiting and relaxing. Really needed that after the week we had. I spent all of last week cleaning up from the camping trip and getting ready for the garage sale. I think I washed about a ton of laundry and dishes. Then took two or three days to get all the garage sale stuff out and tagged. Friday and Saturday I spent outside working the sale. It really went very well considering how hot it was. Made almost $200 in 2 days. I figured that was worth the trouble!! Then of course Sunday was spent preparing and having the party. The guys played horseshoes and the girls visited and played with the kids. It really was enjoyable. The only fly in the ointment was the fact that I ended up getting in an argument with my dad the night before and that is still bugging me. Oh well, I can't control how he is so I might as well get over it.
This week has been going okay. Jeremiah has been going to a Backyard Bible Club every morning for about an hour or so. It is at his Aunt Becky's and he is loving it. First two days I almost couldn't get him to leave. They have an inflatable "castle" that the kids can jump in. He totally loves it. I think he would spend all day in there if I'd let him! He finally understood that if he kept fussing about going home, he wouldn't get to come back the next day. Soooo yesterday he made sure and didn't fuss at all. He really is a pretty sweet kid.
Last night my brother called to let us know that his step-daughter, Joy, was in the hospital having her baby. I called this morning and found out she had it about 3am. Its a boy, but that is all I know right now as Rod didn't have details. I'll go up later and see her.
Tawny is due in about 5 weeks now. She is getting pretty excited. So am I as I get to go out there for two weeks when she has the baby. Wish I could fly but it is way too expensive, so I guess I will drive. Not sure whether I should take the van or the car. It would be nice to try the van out on a road trip!! I really do enjoy driving it. Never thought I'd be a van mom!!!
The weather has finally cooled off a little so we have been enjoying the great outdoors more. I think I will actually go out today and work in the yard some more. I need to take a picture of the rock work we did, but I want things to look nice first!! Okay so I'm a little weird about things like that. I hate taking pictures and then when I get them back I notice how yucky the background is! So now I take a little care about background, before taking the picture. Just makes sense.
Well it does to me anyway.
Okay I'm definitely "rambling" today so I guess I'll go for now.
Oh yeah, the movie.."She's the Man".. it was kind of cute in a weird way. I am waiting for the one with Antonio Banderas to come out so we can watch it. I think it comes out the end of this month. I love watching his movies!! Also Matthew McConaughy.
Well have a fun day all!!
