Whew, just thinking about it makes me tired!

Independence Day is over.  The party's are over.  The busy fun is over.  Whew... I am exhausted.  My house was a mess and this week is next in line for another BUSY BUSY time. 

I got up today and unloaded and re loaded the dish washer.  I had a sink full of dishes left over from Sunday night's impromptu cookout.  I also had to clean off the patio, pick up the trash from fireworks and sweep up from the poppers.  I started a load of laundry, unloaded and re loaded the dishwasher for the second time, switched laundry around again, picked up all the out of place things in the house, switched laundry around again, wiped down the bathroom, went outside and watered my flowers, then I put in the last load of laundry.  I fixed up some leftovers for the boys for lunch and watched the Casey Anthony verdict.  I am totally pissed about the outcome.  I really think that lying little rip got off scott free, but she will eventually meet her maker one day and have to face up to her punishment then.  Ugh... soooo frustrated about the whole darned thing. 

I am about done working around here, then I have to get ready to go to a visitation for a friends mother who passed away.  I'm taking the boys to Bevs while I go to the funeral home, then I will come back home and finish up folding and putting away all this clean laundry.  Tomorrow is the funeral for my mom's cousin Richard who passed away over the weekend, so I am meeting up with Grandma and Susan in the morning and heading to Keokuk for the services.  Tomorrow night is Coles baseball tournament in Payson.  If he wins they advance, if he loses then they are all done for the season.  He's so excited for the game tomorrow.  They have played so well the last few games.  I hope he does well again with this one. 

Friday morning I am leaving for Rockford for Brians wedding.  The boys are staying home with Grandma and the Aunts and Bill will also be around.  I will be gone from Friday to Sunday.  When I get home I have to get the rest of the garage sale stuff pulled out and all ready to haul to town.  I don't have much to go through, but it will be a relief to get it all done finally.  I also have to help Grandma with her garage sale stuff too. 

Whew, I am tired just thinking about the next couple weeks.  I want to get as much done as fast as I can so I can take some time and ENJOY this new house.  I hope that things will settle down a bit soon!  It just always seems that the weeks fill up so soon lately.  I can't keep it all straight without my handy dandy calendar, but then I also still seem to mess things up at times!  oops!  Just too much going on in life at times!

Bill is busy baling hay lately.  It's finally been dry enough for him to mow, rake and bale and he's slamming the hay while he can!  He loves this time of year. 

Well this chicks signing off for the shower.  Have a fantastic week ya all!  Stay cool and have FUN!!!
