• Finally Friday is Here!!!

  It’s Friday!!!!  The one day a week I always get to escape the confines of my house!

  I still have to take care of recording Jesse’s checks and prepare a deposit slip.  It was just not in the picture of things for me to do, last night.  In fact, I never separated that ground beef into smaller packages for the freezer!  I opened up an end of one 10lb chub of ground beef, grabbed some meat, browned the meat, threw 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (Annamarie never knew!!!) in the cooked meat with some milk, boiled egg noodles, and heated mixed vegetables in the microwave oven.  Voila!  Dinner!  Beef over noodles with mixed veggies on the side – on paper plates, I might add. 

  I was so tired, I only washed the paint from my hands (it came off only slightly easier than the primer) and went to bed.  I’ll have to shower and wash my hair this morning (and try harder to scrub the rest of the paint off!!!), make out Jesse’s deposit slip, clean a few areas of the house, and then we’re outta here!!!

  From the looks of things, you’d think I’d been doing absolutely nothing for the past two days!
  
  My desk and kitchen have exploded!!!  It only took two days to do all of this damage! 

  No Lori, I haven’t used my birthday cord keeper thingy, yet.  We keep changing cords around.  See the new keyboard under the desk???  Dh surprised me Wednesday by bringing home that and a Nintendo DS with a “Brain Power” game.  Yay, Jesse!  I have my doubts that my Brain Power game will boost my “brain” – but, anything’s worth a try!!!!

  The other two girls were up and in the kitchen getting cereal, but there was no Rissy to be found.  I checked in her room and found this.
  
  I don’t know if she got up early (she’s been doing that lately) and made her bed and went back to sleep, or if this is the reason hers is the first bed made every morning!  It’s not hard to straighten a bed you haven’t even slept *IN*!!!

  Well it’s a new day and, with new strength mustered, I opened the window’s blinds in the newly painted room and decided it was truly a light green!
  

  Last night the girls and I found quite a few “white places” left, and Jesse (who graciously cleaned up my mess, while I cooked dinner)  said he had saved the last little bit of paint left in the painting tray.  He put it back in the paint can!  Another, “Yay, Jesse!”  The white spots were profuse and easy to see last night.  This morning, in the light of day, I could only find one.
  
  There’s lots more like this one (see it in the bottom third of the picture?), but, for the life of me, I can’t find the rest of them with the light streaming through the window.  Maybe the girls will be able to see the missed spots better than me.  I’ll only have to touch up here and there and it won’t require paint clothes or painting tools.  Just a brush.

  So, yeah, I agree with y’all, it’s green.
  
  I really SHOULD paint the woodwork white (again) before moving the furniture back, but the very thought of doing any more work in that room makes me swoon!

  Can you believe I’m even considering painting two hallways after I finish the cream guest room project???!!!
  
  I’ve truly lost my mind . . . and, I’m not sure that “Brain Game” will help retrieve what’s lost!!!

  Change of subject before I get on with my day:  Today is little Chirper’s first birthday!
  

  Each of the girls woke up, saw him, and the first thing out of their mouths was, “Happy Birthday, Chirper!”
  

  I must admit, as I was waking up this morning, with him snuggled up against me, I, too, whispered in his little furry ear, “Happy Birthday, Chirpy-boy!”
  

  Have a nice week-end, if I don’t see you before Monday!
