We are beat...
Up early. Coffee on the back porch, which was nice. Then we started doing stuff. Vacuumed, which was crazy. The animal hair in this house is insane. I just vacuumed yesterday. It's like the animals all just exploded their hair overnight. Organized some stuff.
Laundry. A quick trip to the store for more stuff we forgot.
K3 & A came for dinner. That was really nice. We talked. Ate pretty good food (grilled veggies and steak).
Many things were accomplished today. Which is why we are beat.
Got my writing chapter newsletter done and some other stuff for that. Next is the writing, which is going pretty darned good.
Tomorrow is Monday. Don't want to talk about it...
Behave!

The Saturday Post...
What a freaking long day!!
Woke up at the normal work day time, showered, and was ready to head out the door for breakfast with our great niece. She's so adorable and looks just like her momma, but it was early. She turned two and she let me wash her hands and put her shoes on her. We had pancakes, bacon, coffee, orange juice and yogurt. I got to catch up with That Man's side of the family. I haven't had a chance to talk to That Sister in a while and I miss her, so that was good. Also got to see her hubby and our nephew. It was a good morning.
We left there and headed back into town to get the camper registered in our names. That didn't take as long as I expected, but it did take a long while. Got the stuff we forgot to take out of the camper and needed.
Back home to take off the defective oil sending unit from the Jeep. That Man broke it fixing the leaky oil filter. He bought a new one and during the test drive, it crapped out. Took it back to the store and they told him they wouldn't replace it. We were fuming mad. We went back today and insisted they replace it. They did. But we had to drive to pick it up since they had no more in stock. Whatever. Then we went to get an oil change kit and... Not in stock. Had to drive back out to not far from where we had to pick up the part (different stores - That Man wracks his points up at different places) Stopped quick at the grocery store to grab some of the things we forgot.
Ended up getting home about two hours later. K1, J, and my boys were here. K1 came to pick up a cooler for his weekend excursion and grab some stuff from the attic. Got to kiss my baby boy and hang out with my older baby boy. They are so stinking cute! Little B is giving kisses and playing hide and seek and is so freaking adorable! Mr. B is very into Pokemon now and was either quizzing me about Pokemon or showing me his new cards.
Then we had to run another errand. I swear we were away from home for about 10 hours today. We're exhausted.
Finally got back home and threw dinner in the oven. I had marinated some greek chicken yesterday. Apparently, I didn't rinse the dill that went into the marinade enough. It was delicious, but super gritty. And apparently, I have a super bad issue with grit in my food. While it was super tasty, when I hit grit, I was done. Like major gagging done. Never knew that about myself, but there it is... In other news, my tzatziki sauce turned out banging.
And that's about it.
Tomorrow is some running around. We realized the other night that we don't have any working smoke detectors. (After I made meatballs that spilled over in the oven and filled the house with awful, awful smoke. - Like so bad we all had to shower before bed). That Man bought a cheap one to get us through, but we need at least three more and a decent CO2 detector - especially since we just revamped the furnace piping.
K3 and A are coming for dinner. We have laundry to do. And a lot of other stuff.
Then... It's Monday again.
That's all I have...
Behave!

Feel Good Friday!
Things are better.
Some... I still have about 50 things on my to do list. You know... cross off one and add three... that is how it's going...
That Man and I took a sick day today. It was a real sick day - either from some damned virus or our dinner last night. Don't know for sure, but we both felt like hell for most of the day. He actually started with it yesterday. He came home from work early thinking it was the cholesterol med the doc put him on, but that is apparently not the case. I am about 12 hours behind him, so... virus?
We did try to run some errands - grabbed his part-time job paycheck, went to the bank, and then the grocery store, but neither of us had a coherent thought in our head so we forgot half of the stuff we needed. He was better this evening. He did some physical things. I did not. I am feeling some better, but still shaky and not great.
In the Feel Good Friday mode:
1. Our Aunt and Uncle were here this week. It was amazing to see them, but it was a crazy week. We had one night at home. Not because of seeing them every night, but because it was just one of those weeks. We didn't see them nearly enough, but they will be back soon.
2. We met last night for dinner (which I am blaming on part of the reason I stayed home today - partial food poisoning? maybe?). We had a good time. It was good to laugh and hang out. I got to see my brother, sister-in-law, and niece. It was a good night.
3. Our sister is hopefully finally going to get some answers on why she's been so sick lately. I know it's still vague, but I can't go into any more detail or she will kill me.
4. Getting to see my great niece and niece on Wednesday. Baby A is so cute and looks just like her momma.
5. Getting stuff done. We've been working our butts off all week even though it's been crazy.
6. Writing. So I have gotten words on the page this week. Not enough, but more than I figured I would. I'm still at a deficit, but I hope to remedy that this weekend.
7. Bob's great niece's birthday party in the morning. She's two. They are having a breakfast birthday party. Pancakes. It's different, but we are good with it. Her gift is wrapped and we have the rest of our day planned.
8. Hopefully seeing K3 this weekend!
That's all I have for now!

A Week?
Yikes!
Though. I haven't even turned my computer on since last Thursday, so there's that. It's been absolutely insane and chaotic.
I don't even know how to get into it all. I don't even think I should.
Everything is absolutely insane.
I have not written in a week.
My house is a wreck.
My "to do" list has like 55 things on it.
I am not getting anywhere.
The day job is nuts.
Crazy things are going on.
Better days have to be ahead, right?
Behave!

A Week?
I swear I have started like four posts! Each were interrupted and then I gave up!
So the weekend was crazy!
Saturday was writing meeting and then a bunch of craziness. Writing meeting was good and I left with the same recharged feeling I used to have after meetings. I really like that and I am so happy to get back to those kind of meetings. Though I did not get to come home and write! Boo!
Sunday I had to work. Nothing more to say about that. Had to run some errands and do some things after. Back home to a houseful. Dinner made. Cleaned up. Grandsons hugs and laughter. To bed way later than I'd hoped.
Since I worked Sunday, this week is screwed up. I am a day ahead of myself and that sucks. Yes. Tomorrow is Thursday and that's great, but I thought today was Thursday. I thought yesterday was Wednesday. We all have the same affliction. Oy. But we did order some amazing subs for lunch. Cheap and super good.
Tonight I had a board meeting with my writing chapter. It went well. We talked about pirates. Ha!
That is all!
Behave!

Mid-Week...
I got my Jeep back! Yay! It's a hefty bill, but all much needed work. Some had to do with my mud adventures at the Jeep festival (others were just age and rust)... Do I regret it? Not really! I only regret the amount of money it ended up costing. Would I do it again? Nope. Not will full knowledge of what it cost... Ha! (Can I change it? Nope! So there you have it)
It's been a bizarre week so far. I know it's been a short one, but I remain caught up at the day job and I'm even finding time to do quality assurance and train. All while maintaining my workload stats. We're supposed to work a full eight on Sunday - to get caught up - but all of us are caught up. So I don't know what will happen - if we'll work, if we'll work to help sister companies, or what... I'm all in because it's overtime, so whatever.
Writing happened tonight! Whoot! It's been a few days, so it was much needed. I'm hoping now that some of the craziness has ended that I can get my butt back in gear and actually finish this book. Gah!
Other than that! That Man has to work this weekend. I have my writing meeting and I have to work.
I can't believe we're into September already! Granted, I am glad. I am so ready for fall and for the heat to be done! Though I could use a few more weeks of August, just to get the things done. One of those weeks would just be for sleep!
That is all!

Back From the Wilds...For a Day
It was a good weekend camping!
That Man got off early on Friday and took the new camper to camp. Took him about twenty minutes to set us up for the weekend. Poor guy! LOL. I had to work my regular shift, so I did the grocery shopping on my way up.
Saturday was nice. K4 ended up crashing on our couch. We figured out how to hook up our DVD player. Fridge running on LP was also awesome. K1 and J came down. Lots of grandson time and good conversation.
Sunday we awakened to the front of the camper failing. That Man did a temporary fix and has been brainstorming the permanent fix. I think he has it now. It was picnic day. Lots of hang out time. Time with family and friends. And my most adorable great niece.
Woke up Monday to a horrible storm. We were dry, except we both had to go to the bathroom and our bathroom in the camper is out of commission. Worked that out with us both getting wet. Then, K4 called. She was not feeling well at all. Ended up leaving camp to go to the doc with her. She's fine - nothing that a round of antibiotics won't cure. But poor kid. She was in a lot of pain.
That Man got home shortly after we did. Did some laundry. Took a nap. Made an awesome dinner. Talked to my sister. Started the newsletter for the writing group only to realize I didn't have enough information. We were in bed super early.
Up early to carpool to work today. The Jeep and his car were both in the shop. Both for inspection, but the Jeep needed some work (it's been there for almost two weeks now, but our mechanic was trouble-shooting an issue and we knew it was going to take a while). We went to the diner for dinner and then picked up his car. Hopefully the Jeep will be done tomorrow! Finished the newsletter and it's now bedtime.
Tired doesn't even begin to describe how I feel...
