Momma Drama

Way behind......

Friday- Safety Town/daycare. Ordered carpet for the upstairs. Cleaned that bastard attic up. All 310 square feet of it. It wouldn't have been so bad, except I had already done it once, months ago. Originally cleaned up 16 pounds of shingle bits and pieces, nails, and wood chunks. After I did it the first time, Dave went up to remove the drywall and insulation from the rafters so the house could breath. There was no tarp used in this project, so 16 more pounds of nails, and wood, and shingle bits and pieces came on down again. Ugh! All the clothes that were in there had to take a spin through the dryer, everything had to be wiped down, dusted, vacuumed.......but, it is done. Now, at a later date I need to pull garage sale stuff out of there (baby stuff....waaaa, boo hoo!), re-organize the kid's totes of stuff, re-organize the holiday totes and go through the ton of kindergarten paperwork.

Saturday- Errand running day. Home Depot where I struck out on a water cooler or filter for my faucet. Car sale (ha!), Chinese for lunch, Meijer.

Sunday- Spent ALL. DAMN. DAY. Emptying the guest/play room out. Ran a boatload and a half of stuff up to the attic. Rented some movies.

Today- Tried to village work, made some headway. Neighbor handy-guy gutted the guest/play room. Pulled all the wallpaper and horse hair plaster off the walls and ceiling. Holy hell Batman, what a freaking mess we have in there. I bagged up 12 contractor garbage bags of the stuff before I quit for the day. There is still a ton more in there. We are going to have to rent the insulation blower machine and insulate the outside walls in there.

The porch is on hold for right now........need to buckle down village wise for the meeting next Monday. It wouldn't be so bad, but we are going downstate for my nephew's graduation party, so I lose two working days. I need to make a big old honking batch of Dreamsicle cookies for the party.

Still need to file these nails, tomorrow I need to load the kid's bikes and helmets into the truck so they can take them to Safety Town. I also need to have my tiny (ha!) hiney down to the shop by 9:30 am to do a pedicure. I have decided that I need to go to work at the nursing home to boot(minimum 4 days, maximum 12 days a month). These home projects can't be done without depleting emergency funds and such. This is the best time for me to go, since Dave is on afternoons. He would drop the kids off at daycare at 1:30 pm, and I would be picking them up at 3 pm. I'm totally comfortable with that. We don't know how long Dave will be on afternoons, but if he switches to days at some point, the amount of daycare needed automatically doubles due to our shift start times. He goes to days, I would flip to afternoons. That would mean a 1:30 pm drop off, and 4:30 pm pickup. Not so comfortable with that........the daycare packet of info came yesterday. I'm not ruling that out right now either.

Wow. I need to go to bed!
