Another Sunday

We actually had sunshine yesterday!  None today, however, so it was short-lived but helped my mood considerably.  At least there was no precip today.  For once.

With the granchildren here until almost noon on Saturday, not much got done around the house except sorting laundry.  Meg and I took a jaunt to Mooresville to go to her bank, have some lunch, and stop at Meijer.  That took a couple of hours out of the day.  Plus short naps for both of us.  She had homework to do, as well.

Today, I launched into cleaning and laundry.  Made a crock pot of beef stroganoff that was done in time for the children's rearrival at home.  Just before that, we went to Goodwill in Plainfield in search of clothing for the kids.  They are growing like weeds, and we are anticipating that no one will fit last year's warm weather duds.  We had some success for both the remaining season...and the warmer season that is to come...some day...maybe.  Both children are tall for their ages, and slim.  We can find things that are long enough for Ryan, but they are so big in the waist that he can't keep them up.  Both children are wearing out the knees of their britches.  'Tis ever thus.  Anyway, $80 worth of clothes from Goodwill covers a lot of ground!

I did get some things done today.  Washed the bathroom floor (which was no longer an option!).  Got bunches of laundry done.  Good dinner.  Dishes.  Meg did homework and worked with Robin on her sight words.  The day is history.

Now here is the scary part:  I am getting ready to tell Summit Builders (family operation out of Greencastle) to schedule us for the garage project.  Great, you say!  But before they can come to do anything, the garage has to be cleaned out...as in, stuff sorted, pitched, and otherwise disposed of.  Those of you who know me understand that my garage hasn't been usable as a garage for probably 14 of the 16 years I have lived here.  I am going to need help and people to take the stuff I can no longer keep.  Help!!!!!
