Most of August

Once again the month has slipped away. Where did it go since my last post...

We got a sudden call that the painter could squeeze us in, so we had to prep the house. Then the painter was here for the whole day. And then a day getting the house back in order after the painting was finished. Also, we had the kitchen painted a different color, which also meant a lot of shopping for new items to fit in.

Then I spent over a week and a half being sick. It was horrible, I didn't have the energy to do anything but sit there. Didn't even have the energy to watch TV. With the kids going back to school, it just made me feel worse because there where things I wanted to do and couldn't. I didn't make supper for the family for the whole time. I really felt like an outsider in our house!

When I finally started to feel better the computer got a nasty virus. Did it catch it from me?? I do have to pat myself on the back though, my whole family was "take it into the Geek Squad", but with endurance I got it fix on my own!!

Today we are off to the MN State Fair. Should be fun. Everyone has a list of what they want to eat at the fair. So I have already though of a scrapbook page focused on the "eats" at the fair.

Here is to September and everyone being well (including the computer)!!

Busy Days

Oh man, the last couple of days have been so busy. It all started with the painters finally calling on Wednesday and saying that he could get to painting our house the next day, Thursday. We were suppose to have a week notice. So Mike and I get home from work to work on getting everything off and away from the walls.

Thursday I don't work, and the painters were here all day, so I was kept busy keeping everyone out of their way.

Friday, after work, was shopping for rugs since we made a change to the color in the kitchen.

And today, was shopping all day too. Finalizing the rugs, getting school supplies and clothes, and some new things for the kitchen. And also putting everything back in their place from the painting.

It is exciting, but man I am so ready to just sit and relax for an hour.
