I still haven't gotten the painting done in the hallway-I think Jason can do that on Saturday. But the schoolroom is coming along nicely. The guinea pigs are moved, so they are no longer on the floor, and I hauled out a huge black trash bag of old papers & used up workbooks.

I am thinking of moving out aquarium into the school room once I get the dresser in there. Right now it is in a place that makes it hard to see the fish. We have guppies, and it is fun to see the fry (babies). Most of them get eaten  but we are enjoying the changes in our fish population anyway. I just hope we don't end up like Henry Huggins.

Kate has a cold & didn't sleep well last night and Howard is getting his 6yo molars, so he was up the night before....I am a very tired momma.  This makes it hard for me to want to do *anything*, especially when it's so hot. It rained last night, which was great then, but it's muggy now. The kids wanted to go out & play with their neighbor friends, so I am recovering from being out in the heat.

The plans for today are 1) finish re-arranging/de-cluttering the school room; 2) move Jason's empty dresser into Kate's room and put her clothes away; and 3)finish de-cluttering the family room. We'll see how I do. I suspect that I won't get all three done, but I'm going to try!

And, of course, I need to think of something for dinner. Jason made hamburgers-oh wait it's Wednesday-we can go out to our favorite Chinese restaurant. Darn, I forgot that Kate's sick, but maybe Jason can get take-out from them on his way home. I'll have to call him. I'd better do that now, because if he doesn't want to do that I'll want to stick something in the crockpot so I don't have to heat up the kitchen. Is it October yet? I am ready for cooler weather!!!
