three more weeks...

three more weeks and the girls will be in school, and i'll be enjoying my morning before heading off to central tech for my afternoon class. it will be nice to be back in the swing of normal routine.

slow week. i was in town on monday and friday, got stuff done around the house on the days i was home. finally got that ratty old chair out of the living room and onto the back porch with the other old recliner to await when i can get the neighbor to come over with his pick up and haul them off. i hate our living room furniture, it's so ratty, and yes... duct taped! we've had it 10 years and you can tell. it's the nauga hide, over stuffed kind. we bought the love seat, couch and chair to match after we'd been married about 6 months. we called it the "child friendly furniture", cause you could 409 it and wipe up anything that got on it. and it really has been child friendly... and cat friendly. that's where the duct taping comes in. i will be so happy when we can get new furniture. i feel like hauling it out by the burn barrel and setting it ablaze. i actually did do that with the baby changing table after my youngest was potty trained. it was so dead after two kids, that i had it held together with those plastic zip ties. it was a happy day to see that thing go up in flames! no more diapers! it was very liberating!

just got back from our walk, took almost an hour. nice to be back in the house with the a/c's cranked up. looking for jack (our dog, jack russell zhits tsu(sp?) mix) his sister dotsie(she belongs to our neighbor) followed us. he's out nosing around again. we found a dead rabbit on the road and she tried to drag it home! i made her drop it. i don't think it had been dead long cause the flies hadn't found it yet.

interesting note about the toaster i bought week before last, the directions were only in english! that was so weird! usually everything comes with directions in at least 3 languages, english, french, and spanish.

found a great blog. stephanieklein.com or as the title says "greek tragedy". it's very funny. check it out if you get the chance. just google either of those and you will find it.

well not much going on, so i guess i'll go for now. stay tuned...
