Our Garage sale is over. I made right at $100 and got rid of a lot of stuff. I am happy to have it over with and the stuff out of my house. I am grateful that I didn't have to bring a bunch of crap home either! I have just a few things on hangers to take to Jenny's to put into her garage sale next weekend. I hope they sell just so I don't have to pitch them!
I was going to go out and do karaoke for a bit tonight, but I am too pooped. I just don't have the energy to go! I decided to stay home and continue to clean my house up and get organized for the week. Tomorrow night we are having a small cookout for Jerry & Marilyns 45th wedding anniversary. Just a few family members are coming out and we will have a nice visit and just enjoy being together to celebrate their 45 years! It's supposed to be a scorcher, so we will more than likely be inside just chilling out and keeping cool!
I really really feel amazing. I am so happy with myself and how awesome I feel now. I have all this energy, it comes out of nowhere and I am like the energizer bunny. I just keep doing one more thing, and then one more thing and things actually get done, finished and organized. It makes me feel amazing to be so in order and focused on what needs to be done. I am busy all the time, but I am enjoying it and not sluggish all the time or wanting to sleep or be a bum. I enjoy being active and busy and I enjoy all this time with the boys and this summer has been awesome so far!
I've made the decision to go back into my Undercover Wear business. I want to start doing a couple parties a month again. Something to get out and do. Something to make a couple extra hundred bucks a month. Just some extra fun and income and something to do to make me feel good about myself. I think I will feel better if I can start bringing in some bacon again. I feel kinda worthless now. Bill insists that just knowing I am here when he does need me is worth a million to him right now, but I feel the itch to get out and work. I love being home with my boys, but feel like I am not helping enough financially. I know that I don't HAVE to work, Bill doesn't expect me to at all, but I feel better when I do help some. I feel like I'm important. Like I am contributing more than just being a wife and mother.
I cooked a ham the other night in the crock pot. We didn't eat it the night I cooked it cause mom bought us pizza that night, so tonight I am heating that up and I made some scalloped taters and garden green beans. I also had a zucchini in the fridge and I fried it up just cause it needed used, and I wanted it fried up before I spent the time scrubbing my greasy stove tomorrow morning. I hate cooking oily food on a clean stove! I fried tomatoes the other night, and wiped it down, but didn't scrub it yet, then last night I fried up bacon for BLT's and so tonight after the fried zucchini I will finally de-grease the stove and scrub it down a lot. It needs it!
I made up my cezar pasta salad and my bacon ranch pasta salad for tomorrow nights Anniversary Party. Tomorrow I have some leftover lettuce from BLT's and I think I will whip up a simple layered lettuce. That sounds soooo good! I love layered lettuce. I can eat lettuce pretty well after surgery. It doesn't bother me like some things do going down. It's so watery that it just melts in my mouth!
I really need to vacuum and sweep and mop my floors tomorrow morning if I don't get to it tonight. It's been over a week since I've taken the time to do them. They don't look awful, but need some cleaning in places, especially under the kitchen table and around the counter and stove where I cook the most! I am kinda a messy cook... Oops! I have laundry going tonight and will finish that tomorrow too. Tomorrow... boy theres a LOT to do! Ha ha.. it never ends around here.
I had to water all my flowers tonight. I'm sure the next few nights for this week I will have to go out and water. It's supposed to be soooo HOT and I don't want them to die because of drying out and the heat.
The day before the garage sale I finally got my front door closet cleaned out! It's the last closet I hadn't touched it since we moved in. I had about 6 boxes of knick knacks and things in there to go through. I had coats to hang up and organize and crap to sort. I took all the pictures out of the picture frames to sell, and then kept the photos to put in an album. I got rid of all my knick knacks that I didn't want anymore and then packed up the things that I want to keep and then condensed it all to one tote of stuff. I am soooo thrilled to finally have this one task accomplished. Now the only thing on my to do list is go through the stuff in the basement. I have a few things to sort and go through down there. Not looking forward to that! I don't want to go in the snake pit... ha haha.
Well I am off. I am going to make the boys a plate, feed them, get showers and get them in bed so I can chill out with a glass of wine and go to sleep like a baby!
