How in the world did you get a black eye?

You know those moments you have where you feel you need someone standing there saying "Here's yer sign!" Well, I had one of those! I was folding up a travel playpen when one of the legs wouldn't fold correctly. I was pushing in on both legs and it just wasn't going... so me, in my moment of "duh-her-ness" stuck my face in
between the legs to see why it wasn't moving. WELL, I figured it out and, with my face still in between the legs of the playpen, I pushed correctly and THWAP! It closed on my head. Now, I have a black eye to remind me not to do something stupid like that again!

Happy 5th of July

Happy Birthday, Kevin!

I went to the drivers testing center today and got my duplicate ID. Luckily I could use my old picture because I have a black eye and didn't want THAT on my license. Tomorrow is trash day... I know, I know, the excitement is almsot too much to bare! Calm down though, b/c afterwards, we get to wash the van too. When we get home, it's deep kitchen cleaning livingroom cleaning and deep laundryroom cleaning. Exciting, huh? Jealous yet? Because Friday we clean out the boys room and bathrooms. Bet you wish you could scrub toilets with us and scrape goo from the bottom of the fridge. Don't worry, I'll think of you fondly while I scrape the little mousey carcasses out of the traps. Bet you wish you were me now, well HA! You don't get to do ANY of it. MWHAHAHAHA! But, should anyone really want to come help with anything, I'll have coffee and sandwiches made :)

Planning for a yard sale

We are planning for a yard sale one week from now. Hopefully we'll make
some money. I am also trying to get the Trans Am posted in the Trader so
we can make some money off that too. So far we have a kitten, a puppy and
the birds to find homes for. I am also looking at all the furniture we can
sell. We'll also have clothes, books, kitchen supplies, toys, and a bunch
of other stuff to sell. I am really hoping it will help us out with some
money.

The boys are playing card games right now and I am about to start my tasks
for the day. I have to clean the fridge, wash down appliances and drawer
fronts, mop the floors and clean the bathrooms. Fun fun fun!

Happy Father's Day

I took the boys to church today expecting a Father's Day service, instead we had flower communion. It was nice anyway. They did have a blurb that went something along "Here's to all the Fathers...". The boys and one other child were the only ones in RE today. They did Dr Suess "Oh Say Can You Seed" and learned all about plants. It was pretty cool. Flower communion was nice, I guess... I was greeting so I really didn't hear the service, but I was quite content watching Elizabeth make coffee while I taste tested the coffee Heehee. After service let out I ended up with all the left over flowers to take home and plant. Cool beans! We planted some, some are going with us to Spiral Scouts tomorrow and a couple are going to Nana's house for Nana and Vickie. We have quite a few plants going outside now and Miles' tomato plant have 5 tomatoes on it! WOOHOO!   Well, the Dam in Libby isn't about to flood all of Libby, MT. It's just working at full power for the next few... Weeks, I think... To pump out the water and the river is high right now. I found this out when I called and wished Daddy David a Father's Day. Funny, I am 30 years old and still call him Daddy David LOL.   I also called and wished Dad Kurt a Happy Father's Day and got to talk to Kevin. He's on leave and heading to England tomorrow for his next orders.   Overall it's been a nice day. And now I must go to sleep. I'll be cleaning and going to Spiral Scouts tomorrow.   Dotchi http://dotchi.blogspot.com The Baker's Acres Blog
