SLACKER!!!
Shanda (best-friend-what-would-I-do-without-her) would say I've been a SLACKER! Really, I haven't. Honestly. Ok, a little bit of a slacker. My only excuse is that our computer has been in being worked on. In the meantime, I had our old, slower-than-molasses computer. Everytime I'd write an entry it would get lost out there in cyberspace, never to be seen again. I hate it when that happens.
We've been doing a bit of home remodeling. It's been a long time coming. First thing we did was to get a new bed. It's one of those Sleep Number beds that you hear Rush Limbaugh or Paul Harvey talking about. (Yes, we listen to a lot of radio around here.) Rick wanted it because of his back problems. Now I don't think I could sleep without it. I picked out a new bed frame and new curtains. It's starting to look like a real bedroom for adults.
We've hired a contractor/construction company to re-do the girls' room. The room has a 3/4 wall and no door. They are going to rip out that wall, rebuild it, add another wall, put in a door, rip out the existing closet, rebuild the closet, install wiring into the ceiling, and hang a ceiling fan with a light. WHEW! We got a call saying they'd be here day after tomorrow to start! YIKES! That means I have to totally clear the room, including the closet. Where am I going to put everything? I think we'll be living with a real mess for at least a week. After the construction, the room will need to be painted. Have I ever mentioned that I hate painting? I love the thought of painting, I just hate the process--and the mess. It will, however, be great to get both girls into one room--and be able to close the door. I forgot to mention carpeting... (Mental note to self: Go look at carpeting!)
It's the middle of the night, but I should be working on clearing the room instead of typing away.
Just over a week until Honeybee and I go to the Cincinnati Homeschool Convention! It's my first homeschool convention, and I can hardly wait! Does anyone out there have any tips for a first-time convention goer? Anything I should be certain to do or see? I'd love to hear from you if you have any thoughts!
