Pretty mundane day. Got up and got the kids lunches ready , drove them to school, came home and had a warm shower..water just did not want to get hot...went to work, picked the kids up from school.

The Good stuff was gathering up stuff to drop of to the Compassionate Resource Warehouse, to send to Haiti. I have a huge box of clothing to go and plan to going through my fabric bin..as I have a tone I have yet to touch....pretty much every piece is a min 2m so it would be usefull to someone I'm sure. Very proud of Emily as I pulled at least a dozen shirts from her room and gave her the option to take back any she wanted to keep...she let them all go. Thata girl...

OK its been a long time....

So a lot has happened and a lot has not.....
I still have upteen boxes of flooring sitting on my floor.
BUT I have a new fireplace and have painted the walls in the livingroom Dinningroom area.
And we tiled our Main Hall...

I had my parents here for a month over Christmas. They arrived on the 16th of Dec. and stayed untill the 13th of Jan. It was a very nice vist. I behaved and did not get into any shouting matches with my Mom...I maybe snaped at her 3 or 4 times..this is good for me as I have a 24hr window before she starts driving me nuTz.,.,..
