I may be unemployed but I’m still BUSY !

Well today is my first official week day of unemployment but it sure wasn’t a sit back and relax day for sure !

I managed to get the living room torn apart carpet steam cleaned and the furniture rearranged, cleaned out the bookcase, tidied up the dining room , put Brooke’s table and chair set together that we got her, (note all the dvd’s ect. they now have a new home in a new 3 drawer storage container).

sent my mothers sewing machine over to my brothers for safe keeping and bbq’d supper. after supper I went up to WalMart and picked up a couple of the plastic 3 drawer chests to store some stuff in to try to cut down on the clutter all over the coffee and end tables and nooks and crannies in the dining room. So one of them  now holds all the DVD’s , Games for the PS3 and Wii and the controlers ect for the gamestations.(all the junk on and around Brookes table and chair set.)

the other one will be put in the dining room for the things that tend to get stacked on the table and phone tables. (batteries, disc’s, mail, ect.).

Tomorrow will be finishing up the downstairs, giving the kitchen, dining room and entry way a good cleaning. and putting the stuff in the other storage chest.  and if there is time after all that is done I’ll make my way up stairs to get the bedroom and bathroom cleaned. the bedroom I think is going to be a fairly big job. it needs a BIG cleaning. and the spare room needs the bedding changed ect.  Wednesday will be laundry and general tidy up (and finishing up whatever rooms I don’t get done tomorrow). Thursday get packed for our trip. Pick up my sister and bring her over for the night so she’s here for the dogs in the morning when we leave, we’re hoping to be on the road by 6am or so.

Earls mom took Karla Brooke and I out for Mothers day brunch on Sunday at the Rodd Mill River Resort. Lovely brunch and a nice little visit for us moms

Here we are getting ready to leave from Karla and Earls home for the brunch. After Brunch we headed to Viv’s for a little visit and then finally home for the evening.

I’m hoping to have my house in tip top shape before we leave to go to Kevin and Shan’s so that when I get home I can actually relax a little. and the BIG cleaning will be done so that I won’t be spending my days trying to get it done while Brooke is here.  I expect I’ll be kept busy enough just keeping up with Brooke and job hunting.

On Saturday Wendell and I spent the morning travelling from store to store pricing BBQ’s we finally decided on this one.

it has a burner on the other side which is nice. Wendell spent the afternoon putting it together and ready to BBQ for supper, while I got my vegetable garden ready and planted and planted my hydrangia bush and coneflowers put in the flower beds.

I hope everyone has a great week !! take care and thanks for stopping by folks !!
