Monday matters

* Duane has my camera, so no pictures for anyone today. He needed it for work this weekend.

* He's super-busy. Frantic-busy. Working 'til all hours busy. And this is the week of convention. And that is usually how it goes. But somehow, we make it.

* The camper comes tomorrow afternoon! We rented one again. A 31' motorhome. Makes for a nice place to visit, sleep, eat breakfast. I usually shower with the girls in the bathrooms. Good visiting that way! I'm one of those people that even likes to visit through the bathroom stall! Some call me LaFern. She is a great-aunt of mine that is still living. She lost her voice some years ago. I think mainly because she used up her allotted words in life. A dear lady though.

* Did I say how much I love convention? I even love my bathroom cleaning job. It can be a big P-U, but it is a good stink. My co-workers are real work horses too.

* It is funny how much harder our new school is, yet the kids love it. A lot. And they are making friends fast. Nice ones. Need I say again how glad I moved simply for the school.

* Subdivision picnic was on Saturday. Refer to an earlier post: younger couples in their late 30's, stylish, mostly pretty, and drive very nice cars. I tried not to have spinach in my teeth when I talked to others.

* Trevor almost pinned me down last night. Scary! My 8-year old can almost take me down. But he still has utter respect and listens when we give direction to him. Did I ever say he's my best worker? If I have a job, I always want to ask him since he rarely whines about doing a job. Mira is the next one. She does heavy sighs, acts as if she didn't hear me, etc. Rayna... she's the queen of getting out of work. She'd rather sing. Or walk around in a costume. Or be curled up with another book.

* Fall is in the air! Cool nights and this week looks like cool days too.

* Lisi is showing signs of... improvement? I can do bike-runs with her and she (mostly) responds to commands to get closer.

* So today will be laundry, slicking up the house, a stop at Walmart (no Target super close to us right now), Kohl's, grocery store, and library. Plus a possible haircut for Trevor, and the beginning of packing. We were in IA and needed warm-weather clothes. This is a new season I think.

Happy Monday!

  1. Enjoy your convention. We were supposed to be at one right now, too, but then Kekoa came down with a bug yesterday - high fever. Maybe we'll get out the door tomorrow morning. Thinking of you enjoying yours... even with the big P-U job. ;)
