Today was a hodge podge of busyness. I woke up to at 10 minutes to 8:00 because my brother-in-law was knocking at the door. He showed up to help the hubs finish painting the house. I was still asleep because I was up until 1:00am listing items on Craigslist. Did you know that people were even texting me regarding items I’d listed at 11:30 at night?

Kaity spent the night at Halle’s last night so it was just Ceej and I this morning. I had my quiet time then did some light housework and laundry then CJ and I did some school. I was supposed to go to Bookman’s today and drop off a ridiculous amount of books but received a call from someone who wanted our dining room table so I unloaded the truck and my brother in law helped load the dining stuff. Samuel from next door came over hoping we had a can of condensed milk so they could make a pumpkin pie. I did not however. I ran over to his house and told Julie since I was delivering the dining table I would run in to the grocery store for some canned milk. I delivered the table (to a neat homeschool family coincidentally), ran into Fry’s for evaporated milk and tortillas, then to Eegee’s to get the men some lunch. The hub’s truck is so big I did not feel confident parking it in Eegee’s teeny, tiny parking lot so I had to park across the street at Ace Hardware! I finally made it back home and discovered my poor hubs somehow broke a water line that leads to the spigot outside so he had to suspend the painting job in order to fix the water break. So we had no water for a few hours. (When Julie found out, she came over with 4 water bottles and offered the use of her potty and shower if I needed it. You just cannot beat having your cousin as your next door neighbor!) It took the rest of the afternoon and several trips to the hardware store before it was repaired. The hubs was frustrated! Poor guy. It’s a bummer when your plans derail. All this while nursing a sore and healing back. When I delivered the can of milk to Julie, I ended up chatting and was there for 45 minutes! I came home and suddenly felt drained. I decided I needed to lay down for a bit and did so successfully. Then it was 4:45 and time to round up CJ so we could pick up Kait and go to ballet. We returned home at 7:00. I had some emails and messages regarding some Craigslist items and here I am. A day in the life. Just a mix of a little this and that which made up the whole of my day.

Here are some pics from the day.

“CJ clearing the horse.”“A partial view of the gym where they practice.”“The dining table is gone! (do not look too close or you will see my dirty floor!)”“Packing proof. Labeled and organized.”“A corner full of listed items on Craigslist.”

Not the most exciting pics but it is where we are in our daily lives.
