De-cluttering is AWESOME

Christie and Dawn and Margaret came up to the house for two days and completely emptied our falling down shed! We got it all sorted/divided. Christie took some stuff, we put some stuff aside for Michelle, Dawn and Margaret took some things. and the rest is either give away or put in the new much smaller shed.

There is a pile of 'stuff' that I will call Goodwill tomorrow to come pick up. After listing the shed it self on free cycle, two guys came and took most of it, plus a couple of pieces of furniture we didn't want anymore.

It feels really good getting rid of things we haven't used in over ten years. What is the point of having things you just keep in storage???

Anyway, I am exhausted. I went in very early to work both mornings, so I could leave after 4 hours and just take a 1/2 day vacation each day.

Now I am vegging on the couch....

I get it!!!!!....

I think...I am still trying to figure out how to enter a blog correctly. I think I have the title thing down now..don't know how to add any funny faces or anything yet.

Today was a busy, busy day as Mondays typically are. TONS of newspapers to go through and lots of mail. And thanks to SARAH LEAVING ME...I have about 30 new cases that need attention and more coming in everyday.

Donna is out all week (vacationing in LV), Pam called in sick, Devery was with his Mother doing medical stuff all day, so it was just Jarod, Kristen and I.

Frank picked up William today at Jess Dunn. Brought him back to the office and then went home as he was not feeling well. William and I went to the bank, said hello to Christie (working in the law office today....spring break), then we went to Walmart so William could pick up some things. We then headed back to Zio's for dinner with Christie. We had a nice visit. Took William and dropped him off at Hands Up Ministry. He was very tired and was hoping they would let him go on to bed instead of staying for the meeting....good luck...

Dawn and Margaret arrived tonight around 10:00. They will be helping Christie tomorrow in emptying the falling down shed. It is very nice of them to come up to help. I am hoping they will find some things they want to take back!

A Spot of Paradise

A Spot of Paradise

Sunday started out pretty quiet. I slept in until 8..late for me! I puttered around, had some coffee, made bisquick waffles. Got some insulation put up in the pouring room, but had to quit after about 20 min. to quickly cover everything outside, as it began to sprinkle.

After Frank got up and around, we put up more drywall on the ceiling (yea!!) and I got more insulation put up. All that is left with that now is right down the middle.

I also cleaned the pouring table and we got it up in the room along with the mats. Anyway, after a bath and dinner, West Wing was on and I am not doing much at all right now. Frank is working on taxes :(

First blog day!

Wow..I really didn't even mean to set up a blog! I was answering Sarah's and thought I had to register in order to post a reply, but apparently not! So..that led me here!

Today Frank and I spend the morning putting up more drywall in the pouring building. We got all the ceiling part and the top half of the wall part in the end where the pouring table is going to go. Then off to Home Depot...again....got floor paint and all the 'stuff' you have to have to paint. Came back, Frank started sorting molds out on the driveway and I went up and painted the first coat on the first section of floor.

Before Frank got up this am, I moved stuff around in the second bedroom enough to get the box springs and mattress down. Now there is a place for someone else to sleep. They are surrounded by molds, but they will have a comfy bed! Yea!!!

Now, it is off to the kitchen to make oatmeal raisin cookies. Also have some laundry going and will be washing Williams clothes that we are taking him, as they have been in a box stored for so long. He at least can start out with freshly washed clothes. We will be purchasing new t-shirts etc. for him tomorrow. Frank will be picking him up on Monday.
