It is finally cold for Florida standards, and personally I love it. I do not want to go into summer/hurricane season without feeling like I had NO winter at all. Thankfully it was beautiful Saturday, the day of my garage sale. The sale went very well, thank you for asking. I sold half of it and donated the rest of it. After I left the donation place, I drove straight over to Lowe’s and bought some primer and a can of paint.
I have (well had) one wall in my bedroom that was sponge painted different colors. I liked it, but I doubt when selling a house it is good idea to leave it that way. So I primed the wall Saturday afternoon (yes after the garage sale, yes I was crazy and very tired). Then after church on Sunday I painted the wall the same color as the rest of the walls. Now I just have the trim to do. So much to do, so little time. I try to only keep the “next step” in mind so I don’t get overwhelmed. Manly man has been putting a lot of hours in at work, so I have been left to ‘get the house ready to sell’.
Tomorrow is my youngest son’s skills assessment test for reading. I am excited about this new adventure. We are right in the middle of conducting our science fair experiment for middle son, and oldest son has a large paper due at the beginning of February.
Also, basketball is going full force. I have to brag a little bit so indulge me…. Middle son, who does not care for basketball to much, has really blossomed this year. So much so, that for three games in a row (THREE!) he was the one to make the game winning shot. One game it was after triple over-time. I tell ya, this is stuff that sends a Mother to the hospital. Triple overtime about killed me. But talk about exciting.
So we get in the car and I said, “So when did ‘kick-butt’ son decide to show up?” My quick witted middle son replied, “Well ‘kick-butt son shows up on the court, ‘lazy son’ shows up at school.” I laughed my head off at his come back. But then said, well if you get to lazy in school, there will be no basketball. I don’t have to worry too much with this one; he is in the gifted classes and aces whatever he does. (and NO he did not get that from me, but from his smart daddy!).
I am going to be taking a bit of a break this week. I am weary; I have a lot going on with the kids and with the house, therefore that translates into “too many ball in the air at one time.” I will be visiting and commenting on blogs, because you guys help me keep my sanity, and I will be here via email. But it may be a little on the “slow side this week” on my own blog.
Hope you have a great week.
