Eclectic as usual
What a weekend!
Hubby was gone from last Wednesday to Sunday night -
I will once again state that being a single parent sucks!
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were pretty normal - with school and all....
Saturday I spent 4 hours helping a friend(who was paid) help some other friends clean a cluttered, dirty, house in preparation for a move...
To give you an idea of the size of this job - we took over 15 LARGE tubs of clothing just of the floor of the master bedroom -
we did clean sweep style and sorted clothes on a tarp - kids, grownup - household(towels, linens...)
I threw away 4 LARGE garbage bags of trash and broken toys from one kid room -
I am still sore today!
but it is done and - and I am glad I did it and mom kept my kiddos (the dust and just dirt was not something they needed to be around)
My friend came back to my house at 6:30 - we watched 27 dresses (cute even if extremely formulaic) and stayed up until 12:00 visiting.
Sunday was church and then more sorting for my garage sale next week. Yes -a garage sale. I am selling off ALL my Disney vhs tapes, baby clothes, and just household STUFF. After the clean sweep I helped with on Saturday - it was sure easy and even refreshing to purge out closets and under bathroom counters!!! :) I know - I am weird.
Hubby got home late Sunday - and we really did not even have a chance to visit before everyone passed out....
Monday - we were off, Jeff had to work - Mom was soooo nice to keep the brood and let me meet another girlfriend and my soon to be new pastor (female!) for lunch in Victoria and then get the 2 week shop out of the way. We have been doing really good on our budget 0 and making a 2 week menu and shopping for those items has helped tremendously! Other than some bread, fruit and milk - we stay out of the stores!
The Monday night -
well - let's just say hubby and I had a make out session reminiscent of those first few months together....
candle light, lotion- yeah -
it was good.
It was really good!
And I really missed him while he was gone.
I am a lucky woman - but please, I am sure there will come a time when I will vent again -
maybe just point me back to this post to remind me of this feeling....
