Momma Drama

A whine free hour from Trent this morning while getting ready for school.

Two daughters that actually both slept until 8 am. As opposed to the usual 7 am wake up time for Maiya, and the usual 7:30 am wake up for Devin. Can you see how this normally shapes up into a three different breakfast times kind of system?

A long, hot, uninterrupted shower this morning. Morning I say! Not 2 pm, not 4 pm, actually in the morning so it could help wake and motivate me.

Window shrink wrap. Got the big picture window done today, maybe I won't freeze my arse off this winter. Ha...

____ ____ Glass Company, who for the low, low price of $100 will replace the glass in my storm door inserts. Cutting the woodwork trim out of the middle of the insert in the process. Thereby saving me the pain in the ass job of chinking out all the old putty, putting new putty in, then painting said putty. The woodwork ends up making something like 12 seperate windows as it is now...

Mr Jim. We now have a hole in our wall next to the water softener. This means that the softener can now be piped out below the frost line. Meaning no more frozen water softener every winter when it gets really frigid. Which also means no more crap well water smell, taste, or hardness when it freezes. Which means no more rust stains on dishes, clothes, sinks, toilets, or bathtubs.

A vet/office that I really love. Don't ask Clyde if she loves the vet today though...

Shrimp.


I was cooking fool for some reason today. Four dozen corn muffins, a vat of pinto beans. Sugar cookie dough for Halloween cookies. I think it's because Dave said "I have a pot luck tomorrow..." He can take the beans and cornbread, I was going to make some chili too, but petered out. The Halloween cookies will do double duty. We are scheduled to be the snack people for Trent's soccer game Saturday......they will get hot chocolate and cookies. Then the rest of the cookies will go with us to a friends house after the game. The baking and decorating will take place tomorrow.

Tomorrow is also field trip day for Devin. She could not be more excited. We (Dave, Devin and myself) are going to the Fire Department and to McDonalds afterwards with the preschool group. Dave gets to drive seperate and leave after the Fire Dept. to head for work. I get to ride the bus...yay! ;) If I'd have been more on the ball, we'd be taking some cookies to the Fire Dept. We will still do that sometime this fall.

Placed two ads in the paper today, one to sell the boat and one to advertise a crop at the hall on the 23rd. Let the scrapping begin!
