Wednesday

Today is our 'busy day'. I may have mentioned before, D has two classes: AM preschool then a 45 minute break to get him some lunch then he goes to speech class. He ends up really wild by the time the day is done, I'm wondering if it's too much stimulation for the kid.

This morning we had to leave a little early to get a special treat for his class's snack time. Friday is his birthday and I wanted him to get to celebrate with his class. Teacher Rebecca gives the birthday kid a crown and they all sing Happy Birthday. It's sweet and I'm glad D gets to participate. Technically school would have been out last week but because of all the snow days they had school was extended out. Friday is a potluck at a park and I didn't want Teacher R to have to try to get the kids rounded up for a birthday wish so today is perfect.

Last weekend was nice. We had a bar-be-que with the neighbors on Sunday when I got home from work. Then Monday and yesterday morning I spent power washing the back side of the house. The patio, the gutters and the shop. The actual house wasn't bad but the gutters and shop were disgusting. Mildew loves plastic. It was pretty fun, though and very addicting. Once you spray an area clean and see how pretty it looks you can't help but to keep going. I also cleaned the dining room ceiling fan yesterday (not with the pressure washer. I re read what I wrote and that's how it kind of sounded). It was grey with grime. I had to take it apart to clean it and now it's white again. All of this means that we are trying to get the house ready for the market. I've decided to stay here with E until we sell the house, or that's what he wants. I don't know if I'll stay that long. It will be nice to pool our money together for a while and pay some bills and save a bit. There is so much to do to get this house ready; finish the kitchen, put a new window in the master bedroom, pack up the ton and a half of crap we've accumulated, finish the trim in the family room and clean, clean, clean! I had originally told him I would help get the house cleaned up and was figuring that I'd be spending the majority of my evenings and weekends here anyway.

I'm kind of sad to be leaving. I actually love my house and wish I could afford it on my own. I have so many memories here and would love to stay. My mom was pushing that on me and I have to wonder if she wanted me to keep it so she could keep squatting here in my garage. Ug, no thanks!! I want her out as it is because she's driving me bonkers and is avoiding us. I think she knows her two months are up and she's trying to get out of being kicked out. Ick, I get indigestion just thinking about it so I can't get into it right now. Anyway, I told E that if the house doesn't sell the very last thing we need to to is convert the garage back into a garage. I don't think it will be hard to do, it's mostly demolition to put everything back the way it was. It might be pretty fun to take a sledge hammer to the walls. He he!

Well, I guess I should get packing and cleaning. And measuring trim. Oh and getting some paper goods for the potluck! So much to do!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
