The Attack Toilet Seat from Hell

This is going to sound funny, unless it happened to you!  Because our toilet seat in the main bathroom needs to be tightened, it sometimes shifts after we first sit down on it...and, if we aren't careful, it can pinch the back of the right leg.  It happened to me today...and it actually cut my leg!  It bled, for Pete's sake!  Guess who will be tightening the toilet seat??

Had a good day today.  My neighbor backed his pick-up truck into my driveway, and we started loading it with stuff to go to the dump.  It wasn't a huge load, but it consisted of stuff I was not going to be able to put out for regular garbage collection--and I'm so happy to have it gone!  FINALLY, the front of the house is devoid of the junk that has been there since May!!

One of the items that went was a patio burner that was burned and rusted out.  The children do so love to roast marshmallows in there that I determined to get another on the way home.  The one I got was on sale at Lowe's--smaller and more decorative--and included a cover to help preserve it from rain.  I haven't put it together yet, but I felt good about it.  (Robin told me that all the yard needs now is a swing set.  She's right!)

This evening, we went to the Plainfield United Methodist Church for our annual fish fry.  We met up with the Heffelman side of the family, as usual.  The children got to see their cousins Joey and Jackson for the last time before they head back to Georgia tomorrow morning.  After dinner, there were games for the children--with trinkets for prizes.  You'd think the kids had hit the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!  When we got home, they played with their trinkets until we finally had to order them to bed.

I weigh in tomorrow at Weight Watchers.  Hope I didn't sabotage myself by eating fried fish tonight.  We'll see!  Have to shop for school shoes for Robin tomorrow...and groceries.  Then there is the never-ending laundry to do.  School starts Monday!
