See You....in September....

Oh oh, wait, it is September!!! YIKES.  What a wonderful fast summer!   Kids were home, shower is over, car is shipped, house is as clean as it is going to get, I have traveled everywhere I wanted to go, some updates (doors and brick patio to garage), dog is happy, time to go back to school I guess.   Again, ready as I can get.  I am going to try and enjoy Labor Day and not dwell on the negatives.  I am sure I won't sleep tonight, nor will anyone else at school.  Been fighting a stomach thing.  Hope it goes away soon.  It Is What It Is and it is time to get back to it!

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...

Day 103

Today is June 23, 2020 the 2nd day of summer.  It is dark and woke up to rain (and Lucy barking).  We need the rain.  After a flooding spring, it has been hot and dry.  Everything is looking August especially the lawns.  I am painting Amanda's room (2nd day).  Ceiling and patching done yesterday, walls and floor trim today.  Did Matt's room last week, took 3 days with all the trim and chair rail.  Turned out nice and soft.  Used Mineral Green.   Amanda's room is called Cement Pots.  Both are Magnolia Homes pain and it is a dream to work with.  One coat, quickly dries and looks great. Removed the 30-year-old linoleum from the stairs but had to have our Handy-man steam off the guck left.  Now we will sand and paint a dark grey.   Using non-skid.  I can't stand the thought of carpet or peel & stick tiles. Removed all the old drapes in the DR & LR.  Ordered white sheers and new rods so after it is pa...

Mouse Hell

Today started out normally.  Drove to west side of state to start auction process on my brother's house.  We had to meet with the realtor and make a list for auction.  Lots of cool old stuff but just about everywhere there are mouse signatures.  2 minutes in the "house" and one ran by the door.  No one has lived in the "cabin-in-the-woods" since November last year.  Chipmunk was next.  An "out" building housed a whole family of mice.   I nearly passed out right then and there.  Lots of goodies to sell.   Nicole from Rehab Addict would love this place.  Truly a paradise, but, to this now city girl, I was glad to be back in suburbia.   It is what it is.
