it's a Tuesday and I took a vacation day. Just so much to get caught up on. I know that sounds stupid to take a vacation day in the middle of the week to do work/chores and not have fun. But I am the kind of person that if I have stuff to do hanging over my head and deadlines to meet then I just find it awful to go to work and worry about it. I get 5 weeks of vacation and 7 personal days so I will be ok. Years ago when I got much less vacation it was always used for taking sick kids to dr or going to school plays, ect.. it s used for a variety of things.
I went to Gainesville on Sat morning to spend the day with Meg. Saved her the drive. When she comes home for Easter that will make it 3 weeks since she has been home. We looked at apts , she wants to move in the fall for her sr year , which i have mixed feelings about. Yes there are a lot of things I dont like about the apt she is in now and i have bitched about it , but she does walk across the street to school and she has been safe, not to mention how cute she has it decorated. After looking at some of the other places, its not so bad, but that will be her decision. Then we went to Olive Garden and Walmart and Publix. I was going to come home that night but she was by herself and I just threw on my pj's and got in bed with her. I watched TV till I fell asleep and she did homework. I got up at 6:30 am SUnday and drove home in the rain. The flying J at sr 54 now has a Denny's so I stopped and picked up breakfast for the boys and was home around 8am. What a nasty rainy day. I put a pot roast in the crock and make a pot of chile. We have ate that Sunday and Monday, so I guess time to cook tonight.
Linda spoke of purging....I have been purging too. Feels so good. I have even seen Joe purging and that is a miracle. Friday night him and Joey purged the outside shed. They did a good job. I have a trailor full of stuff for a garage sell and I hope the weather is good on Sat so I can sell some stuff. However what doesnt sell Sat goes to the auction on Sunday and then to the dump or goodwill.
We bought all new boards to replace the deck and that will look nice once done. I am trying to get all the projects done before it gets so hot outside. I want to be able to enjoy my summer and have a nice yard.
Ok well enough rambling...I need to get busy.

I used to do the same thing, take off a day to get things done! Glad you got to spend time with your girl!
