Not much to report....
Dumpster arrived, and Tony, being the Jenga master that he is, managed to pack the entire contents of the sun room demo into the front third of the dumpster. This left 6 yards of dumpster to fill with
That is... once we finish staining the new table and corner bench.

Oldest crawled up next to me on the couch the other night as I was reading my book.
"Mom"
"Yeah."
"I had health class today."
"Okay..."
"They gave us the booklets..."
*blinks*
"Okay...."
Oldest sticks out his tongue and makes a gagging noise.
"It's just so gross...."
He's growing up so fast. But for now, I'm still relived and reveling in the fact that he still thinks it's all so gross. I'm hoping it stays that way until he's like... twenty.

I have not been on the computer much lately. Just for a few minutes a day to scan emails and such. This is mostly due to the fact that the kids have commandeered my computer stating that the house lap top is "wicked slow".

Discover card sent me an email wanting a payment this month. I paid over 50% of my bill two days ago, yet they still want more. *sigh*

For lent I have given up all things politics.

March is set to be a busy month. I will be making my niece's first communion gown from my sister's wedding dress. Bonus Brother needs another costume for Anime Boston. Youngest turns TEN. Holy cow. I have a friend visiting that I have not seen in 11 years with her son, whom I've never met. Bonus Brother's finishing up his drivers education driving time. I was forced to take three days off for school being closed and my lack of day care. Then of course, there's the rest of the kitchen floor to finish. And, oh yeah, these kids still want to eat.
I had entertained the thought of the A-Z blogging challenge that's going around. For those who don't know, you post everyday the entire month of April, skipping only Sundays. The first day, your post is inspired by the letter A and so on, until you get to the end of the month with Z.
Then I thought, WHO AM I KIDDING? I can't even color coordinate my socks on a daily basis. So I've decided to do my own thing, starting with my next post, and continuing as I feel like it. This will most likely interfere with Truth is Thursdays, but feel free to continue your own, I do so love reading them!
We'll call it the ABC's of me...
Ready?
I'm ready. I can't really get into those group sex things. Uh, group blogging things. I like to go my own way and that's why I'm not gettin' any. I hope your son think "it" is gross till he's 30. I'm a real dreamer.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie, now on twitter
I post every day.
ReplyDeleteI like that people read and comment, but even if they did not, I would still write. I love it.
The comments I get and the relationships I've formed, through blogging? Awesome.
A to Z? Wouldn't work, I ramble too much.
Damn, those dumpster things are expensive. I could use one for about a month, though. My problem isn't getting rid of stuff, it's wanting it to go 'to a good home' instead of just getting it the eff outa here.
Not healthy, but definitely me.
I would also still write, even if no one commented. Course it's more fun when they do. :) The dumpster was actually reasonable and there was a lot of construction debris that couldn't be removed any other way.
DeleteThe recycling thing is what got me though. I have no issue cleaning out, but I always try and break it down to recycle it.
I, just like you, am a veritable bundle of energy. It's almost 8:30pm here, & I'm in my pajamas--from last night!! I'm at the age (& fortunately the financial position) where I don't do ANYTHING I don't want to. All I got done today was to draw my logo duck playing a trombone for my granddaughter's high school musical, "The Music Man".
ReplyDeleteWrite anything you want--I'll read it. I practically live on my computer, because it's fun!
I long for the days fish ducky. :)
DeleteI'm thinking it will be good for my writer's block.
I need a dumpster for my garage too, I'm envious of your ability to clear it all out. I'm with Ami, I always want to donate it or recycle it instead of just tossing it out.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the old friend coming to visit!
We don't need dumpsters in our neighborhood. We put out the dumpings the night before trash pick-up and the pickers come around and take stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
When I lived in Florida that happened A LOT!
DeleteIm doing the A-Z but I really hope I dont end up boring everyone. I post pretty much daily anyway so it is no big deal for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd all I can say about the "booklets" is - at least the subject wasn't brought up at the dinner table like it was in this house hehe
OH... we've had this conversation at the table and in the car as well. Just now he has visual aids. :)
DeleteI love the prompt and am hoping it will help with my writer's block. I just can't commit to every day.
What...you can't color coordinate your socks either? Whew, I'm not the only one
ReplyDeleteOh, Dean-O... it's a gift. :)
DeleteSo sounds like you are enjoying Fifty Shades! I finished the last one last week.
ReplyDeleteI AM! Totally sucked in... have to say, the second is even better than the first, but as always, I find it sends my mind wandering while I'm in the mail truck.
DeleteSuch a different world than what I am accustomed, intersting and yet I don't think I could ever be a sub. :)
Do I have to participate in Lent to give up politics? Because I will, if that's what's required! Can't wait to read your ABC's. :)
ReplyDeleteNo. In fact, I think if we all gave up politic the country may be in better shape.
DeleteWhen my college girl was 8-9 yrs old she prayed for a baby sister. Well it worked. So we all blamed her for the new baby in the house. She came home from school one day after the BOOKLET and explained how it wasnt her fault, it was ours, and it was gross.
ReplyDeleteI am so laughing (with you, honest)
DeleteSounds like Tony's a lot like me in the dumpster regard. It was very liberating toss all that extra stuff.
ReplyDeleteDon't get too far away for too long... we all love reading Julianna.
ReplyDeleteI understand how fast life goes, and you wake up and wonder where the week went.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have kids and a husband. (sigh)
You are pretty amazing girlie.
Not amazing, girlie, just muddling through. :)
DeleteI love your kids. They say the best things! I've added writing and commenting on my "gotta do" list for this weekend. New tires on the car so I can pass my car inspection, root touch up on my hair, a mound of laundry from my trip, clearing some stuff out of my garage so I can park in it again and smooching with Rudolph are on that list too. I'm tired. Is it Monday yet?
