FRIDAY!

Yay! It is friday! I am so glad. It has been a LONG ASS WEEK! With so many little fires to be put out at work recently, I am just very excited to have the next couple of days off, in fact, it's three, because we have President's Day off!

I have new towel bars, hooks and a toilet paper holder to put on, in the full bath this weekend. I also have blinds to put up in the sun room. I hope that it isn't going to take me all day. I am planning on coming to my office on Sunday or Monday and painting it. Whoopppeee... I am excited about having it another color (instead of this drab, dirty, flat blue) but I really dread painting it.

E has bball practice tonight and a game tomorrow morning at 9:45! ugh. but at least it will be over with early. There is a Chinese New Year Festival out at the gold dome on 23rd and Classen that stars at 10, so I was thinking we might check that out (if it is warmer than the 12F with icy winds that we are having right now).

So, yet another busy weekend, and I have to get some rest, too. I am beat.

Productive Weekend

I spent the weekend cleaning out the garage! OMG! What a crazy day. Our garage is crazy and full of all kinds of stuff. Jenn's mom is keeping some things here, Jenn has stuff from when she moved here in Feb, and I still have all kinds of stuff from moving here four years ago! Crazy, I know. But... one of the best things, is that I got rid of junk, shifted boxes and furniture around, to make enough room for Jenn to have one of the stalls for parking! Wow! What a thought... parking a CAR in a garage! LOL

The garage door has been broken, but I spent an hour messing with it and rigging it up and it works now, so she won't have to run kids through snow or rain to the car to take and pick up from school and the like. I am so glad that I got that done. That was my biggest goal of the weekend.

I replaced light bulbs around the house and now we have light! What a thought! Hehe. (The porch light, garage door lights, back porch light and bulbs in the boys rooms all went out this week!) I got the living room and den re-arranged and the tree is pretty much finished.

The boys picked up their room and their toy room. I vacuumed and did a little laundry. Jenn did the dishes and worked on her Algebra homework, took a quiz and did the review. She has a final this week. ugh I was really proud of her, though. She figured it out all by herself. She is rockin' as a student!

Tomorrow I am going to start hanging the lights on the house. I cannnot wait. They are the lights with the screw in bulbs. I think they are going to look awesome!

Saturday

Have had a relatively nice and productive day. M entertained the boys all morning and afternoon. They played, watched movies and worked on a art "project". She is so good at coming up with little projects for them to do together. The boys had a blast.

Jenn and I caught up on a couple of QAF episodes while they watched Curious George and then we all had lunch together and played a game. M went home and the boys laid down to take a nap. I cleaned out our closet while Jenn worked on her algebra study guide and then took her test. She made a 91 and I am so proud of her. She is working so hard to get an A in that class.

I even dusted the back room and the fan! UGH!!

I made the boys dinner tonight (chicken strips, fries, apple slices and baby carrots) and then grilled us a couple of steaks, baked potatoes, salad and rolls. It was so good. We have been working on our blogs and laying around talking. I just ran to the store to get milk, bread, bananas, stuff like that and we put the boys to bed.

I am thinking it would be nice to curl up with a movie or play some POGO together. Something like that. We will see what progresses *winks*
