Upgrading...

I'm so excited.. So we finally made a decision to upgrade our camping home away from home. We sold the camper last night. It was only on craig's list for a half hour and someone already wanted it. He came over last night and paid us our asking price and off he went. Now finding the exact right match for the hard to please wife. There isn't very many areas where I am hard to please, but this is one of them. I need Clean and NO MAUVE. Why are all 1990's motorhomes interior's mauve? YUCK. So anyway, we are now on the look out for a late '90's motorhome.. Can't wait!

My boys...








Light at the end of the tunnel?

SO I broke down and hired a house keeper. I feel really awful/fantastic about this. I feel guilty that I can't keep up yet, excited that finally I'll have some time spend with my kids or organize or take care of my family and house like I really would like to do. So it's good. She started today and I can't wait to go home and see what it's like to walk into a clean house.. the WHOLE thing. Tip to tail. Can't wait.

Tired...

I'm tired. I'm forgetting things I normally never forget. I think I just have too much going on. So here's my week in general:
  • Monday's: Drill (horse drill team, no I don't dance)
  • Tuesday's: Co-ed Soccer
  • Wednesday's: Nothing for now, Logan starts T-ball next week so for right now it's just laundry, dinner, dishes, baths then more laundry
  • Thursday's: Drill
  • Friday's: Nothing - Really this is the only evening I can relax
  • Saturday's: Next week t-ball games start and
  • Sunday's: LAUNDRY DAY. I have to devote at LEAST one full day to laundry a week. If I don't.. it's a disaster.

So here's a funny about me being tired: Yesterday I had meetings almost all day talking about our budget reduction proposal that was due at 5:00pm (which BTW we didn't submit until about an hour ago), a Board meeting with a bunch of attorneys and another with my staff about misc things. So on days like this I try to look extra professional. I skip out on the casual pants and hoddies and go for the power suit or something comparable. I'm not sure what happened, but not only did I forget my coffee on the counter for the 2nd day in a row, but I never put make-up on. WHAT? NO MAKE-UP? Ok, I'm not the type to be 'natural'. I'm not 'natural'. I look like crap with no make-up. I was so busy that I never went to the bathroom and didn't take a lunch so I never had an oportunity to look in the mirror until I was stopping by Costco getting gas(after I ran out in the parking lot of my work on my way home and my dad had to come bring me gas, cause I was in such a hurry to get to work that am, I figured I could 'make it' one more time), and thought, self? what the hell do you look like after a day like today? I had to do a double take. WHAT? No make-up? How did I forget to put on make-up?

Spring....

I know it seems early, but our neighbor Ray, who an actual REAL farmer as opposed to us, the wanna be's, was planting this weekend. I know.... it seems WAY too early, but Ray knows his stuff. Jeremy and I have learned, watch Ray.. do what he does!

So he was out planting potatos and onions and it got my green thumb twitching.. so off to Home Depot we went. I wanted to do this last year with Logan and I'm not sure what happened.. but it never came to pass. We got a couple little starter kits; Catcus's (for Logan), Basil, Chives, MORE Basil, Strawberries, a Watermelon (again for Logan) and a Pumpkin. So I'm gonna post our little plants and watch them grow! I just love it. I can't wait to plant my garden....
