Things are out of control here.
Firstly, and stupidest, my kids are still in school. Until June 24th. Can I tell you how much they SOOOO don't care about school anymore? The temps have been in the 90's for most of the past 2 weeks, and they are so over it. And D still has to sustain for the next two weeks until finals.
Starting backwards, we had Bushey & the "Lips" (with the new baby - so STINKIN' cute) over for dinner last night, WHILE Noodle had 4 of her friends over for a dance-practice-for-the-talent-show...sleepover. Three of them are still here but they're quiet so they can stay. For now.
On May 31st, Noodle started swim team and dive team practice every day. She gets out of school at 3:35 and has to be at dive practice at 4. Then swim team practice starts at 5:15 and she gets home a little after 6. Then homework and bed. Then she wakes up and does it all again. She is ready for summer too.
I was making jewelry and getting it ready to send to Japan, between shuttling Noodle around, helping Tater, gardening, cooking, cleaning...You know, Mom-stuff.
Tater's been building stuff. After he repaired the leaking bathtub, that is. We figured out that the leak in the kitchen was coming from the master bathtub above it. Luckily, it wasn't a pipe or anything, we just needed to caulk up the plate surrounding the tub's overflow valve. Problem solved.
He's building a new desk-cabinet-bookshelf-thing that spans the width of the basement. It's about half done so far and looks great. It gives us a lot more room since we could get rid of our other bulky desk. I'll take some photos soon.
He started painting the walls in the basement yesterday. A buttery yellow. We can't decide if we like it, but we can't agree on what would be better. He wants sage green, I think that's stupid. I want something bright and beachy. The problem is that our sofas down there are RED. Bright, primary red. Khaki would look great, but most of the 2nd floor is tan/khaki/chocolate & red. I wanted someting different to look out onto the patio.
Damn. It's hurting my head again.
