me: I guess the night before you leave probably isn't the best time to realize you don't remember where you put the piece that holds the beach umbrella in the sand...on the plus side, my bedroom closet is now clean.....on to the living room closet, I guess....
Koren: I can't find Cody flip flops either
me: I give up. I have cleaned 2 closets and every hidey hole I have. we went from vacation straight to the Cottonwood Inn. I know where it was THERE. can't remember where it got put when we moved back into house. Even Martha Stewart can't help me now.....
I have this whole method of retracing my steps till I find things. this is a lengthy process and I have a very bad memory and not enough time. it was on the top bunk at the Cottonwood Inn. I think in the orange beach bag with the sand. The orange beach bag that is now a wall hanging and a bean bag frog. the sand is now in jars on the windowsill. there is a partial bottle of sand on garage floor....but no umbrella thingie bob. maybe we can just buy another one somewhere. or lean the umbrella somewhere. or I can stand there and hold it upright. (I really really need a vacation!)
AND Katie came home from hanging at the pool with Kayla and her sunburn is EVEN worse....and I brought her suitcase in from garage without checking it for spiders....I was downstairs sewing up a hole in Sasha's bed I washed (took them this afternoon to be boarded while we're on vacation) when she found spiders....and her brother just killed one. she had a lot to kill. it was very stressful for her. she needs her comforter washed because a spider was on it. she is tired and a bit cranky and in pain from the sunburn. but she got all packed up. for people that plan vacations so far in advance, we get awfully stressed....I don't know if the birth control is making her more sun sensitive... I don't remember her ever burning this bad before. she is showering, I need to shower....and going to try to paint my nails. usually I do fake nails but don't want to scratch baby Ian.
day of departure update: we 3 more or less packed (Kevin was at work), I did my nails, which looked a lot better at 11:30 last nite than now...out to feed my outside pets for the last time before Miss Morgan takes over....then decide what to wear and pack my bathroom stuff......
You're basically perfection in a bottle. Deep down, you want things to be clean and perfect. You may not always show it on the outside but when you're having a perfect day, you feel extremely energized. It's not a wonder you got a perfect number.
Katie texted that she has a ride home....a guy friend who is boyfriend material. Kevin washed and serviced truck. KJ got a haircut. I showered out and tied up nasty mildewy dusty curtains, came home to admire clean truck, feed pets, and take ANOTHER shower. thawing out some HB for supper. gonna fold some laundry and do some couch potatoin' and channel surfin'.
some of these facebook pictures just make my heart smile.....
