Day 2

Well so much for clearing my calendar to be with my daughter and new grandson. It's 4pm and I haven't even been able to squeeze in a shower yet! Jeez. I'm not complaining mind you...I love my life and my job and "paying the price" so that in just a few short years I can retire with a residual income that would blow most people's minds. But every once in awhile I do long for a day that is not total chaos LOL. Kristen and the baby are due to be released from the hospital tomorrow, and since she had a c-section and won't be able to lift anything for several weeks and is home all day with a 2 year old (who needs to be lifted often) things are going to be trying for her. I want to help her all I can, but don't know exactly what I can do to help. I'm sure things will work out. They always do.

Also need (and want) to find time to get out in the yard and do "spring clean-up". There are lots of leaves that fell late and need to be raked, of course there are the usual spring weeds that need to be pulled and sprayed, twigs to be sawed and broken so the trash man will haul them away...etc. Also need to trim the bushes and don't own hedge trimmers (and don't especially want to buy any) so I'm not sure how I'm going to get that done. But again...it will all work out.

The house is filthy (in my opinion) and I have yet another new cleaning lady coming over next week to see if she "wants" to clean my house. My reputation for being a clean freak precedes me, and I have a house-cleaning budget, so I guess she wants to make sure she can afford to do all I want for what I pay. LOL

Bobby ran all of our errands for the day ~ except the necessary trip to the grocery store, which he can do later. Product has been un-packed and labeled. Back-orders have been mailed. Laundry is done. I do have a new consultant signing up today, so I've been kind of waiting for her to call before I hop in the shower and head to the hospital to see Kristen and Chase (that's the new baby). Then it's home to upholster and tuft a headboard and paint a dressing table for the Ladie's Night Out expo some ladies and I are doing in a about a week and a half at the Mid America Center. Oh..and to iron the linens for the bed for the expo. Can't forget the ironing. It's my least favorite chore, yet I still iron everything just like my mother and her mother before her. Yes, I even iron our sheets. Can't stand to sleep on a bed with un-ironed sheets.

So I'm off for now and I'll keep you all posted on the home-front again tomorrow.
