A Week (7)

If I dared, I would take photos of my passed out children to tell you about our day. A picture paints a thousand words.

Yesterday, Carlene. my matron-of-honor/long-time friend and our children helped us prepare for a garage sale. I knew we had entered a new stage of exhaustion when Ben told his friends during an XBox game that he needed a nap and went up the stairs and climbed into bed and slept at 4pm.

Friends made us Indian food and the most amazing homemade ice cream last night.  I have forgotten to eat a few meals this week, not a problem I'm accustomed to having. Any potential weight loss was eradicated last night, and again tonight.

Today, we had a relatively successful garage sale. Could have been better, could have been worse. Kyrie was ready to sell more. She was a vulture waiting to sell. She has amazing potential in sales. Then the kids had a birthday party. Then they went to friends' for dinner and a movie night while we went out to an amazing dinner with friends. .

Despite all this socializing, we did manage to get a lot done. The rental contract was signed by both parties today and that brings a huge sense of relief!

Sounds like exhausted but feeling good. Nothing wrong with that!
Take care of yourself.

Yesterday I wrote a large check & signed the contract for the new flooring. Will start actual work the end of Aug. You will have to see it when you next visit. Hint, hint.
