The holidays are now over and it's time for the clean up! Time to take down all the decorations, inside and out.
The hard part about all of that is I have to put it all back in the attic...I have to. Because we took Michael back to GFA last night.
He leaves for India on the 5th and is excited about the trip. Needless to say, Mom's a little apprehensive! I mean, this is the first time he has EVER gone out of the "good ol' USA" and his parents aren't even with him.
I did give him specific instructions though...get batteries for the camera before you leave. Do not take your computer or cell phone over there, do not brush your teeth with tap water, do not drink ANYTHING with ice in it, stay with YOUR people, take pictures of the Taj Mahal, check bottled water to make sure the seal isn't already broken and watch out for MONKEYS!!!
I think that was pretty good advice, I mean, being the world traveler that I am! I hope he got the money that "Noah's Mom" gave him, I can't find it so I'm sure he did.
Next Monday we (Amanda & I) will begin school again! Get back into our routine and back to normal, not that anything around here is normal.
Amanda will be turning 10 on Monday so now it's time to decide...party or not??? I'm really torn about having one for her. Of course you don't want to have one and not invite everyone for fear of leaving someone out and hurting their feelings. Then on the other hand, why not? It's a party for her and she should be able to invite or not invite, right?
Although, there have been times when I have had to explain to her why she didn't get invited to something and it wasn't something that I enjoyed doing. But life goes on...
Wow, it's hard being a 10 year old girl!! LOL!! I'm sure whatever we decide will be fine.
It's 34 degrees outside right now and it doesn't look like it's going to warm up until Friday, so the outside lights might have to wait. Besides, the gable on our roof is steep and I don't relish the thought of climbing up there to unhook the lights.
I have decided that gluttony is a sin. I have also decided that I am a glutton. Therefore, we will begin to do something about this problem. I do not enjoy wearing pants that have an elastic waistband...I want zippers and buttons WITHOUT the roll that hangs over them!!!
The exercise, oh wow, I said exercise...the program will begin as soon as I get away from this laptop. It stinks getting old! And I'm not really old! I'll turn 41 this month. Never in my youth did I think I would be at this point in my life!!! A SAHM, homeschooling, turning 41, who wears elastic waistband pants, who has frizzy hair, not big hair, frizzy hair there is a difference. In Texas it's ok to have BIG hair.
Man, I have a lot to work on!
I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow. -Scarlett O'Hara
