SHEs Organized

bw2, sorry your mom is having a not great day for her significant birthday.

I took while to get going but then kept working a bit when the timer went off. Going to 11:30 and then trying again. Hopefully will accomplish more next time. I did get bed made and the breakfast room table cleared - I had photos there that I meant to take yesterday, and sheets that needed to be folded from Thursday. Another load of laundry to hang up was started. I still don't have my laundry room hangar thing up again - I know I saw a text that Home Depot had sent it?


Ugh. Forgot to post this earlier. I decided to keep timer running but go upstairs to make the graduation card that dh requested, i.e. do something I wanted to do. While up there, dfriend M called to catch up - she drove by the house and saw the new car so we had an extended conversation while she was driving.

So I'm back, timer is starting again at one, to go to TOTH.

Made my lunch early glad I have that done before hand.
Got my am steps done yea!
Got more seeds off the roof it's looking better now! Yea! Hoping wind & creatures will get the rest.

Waving to everyone.

Mystery - How fun! Good friends, games and food sounds like a perfect combination.

I have completely processed 4 categories of 2025 papers which astounds me. I didn't know that was possible. I am looking at the final 3 categories that are left to do but have hit a wall. I'm done with papers for the day.

I changed the way I track our RTBE (Ready to be eaten) food that is in the refrigerator. I want to know exactly how long each food item has been in refrigerator to insure it get tossed or eaten in a timely manner.

Bedding is out of the dryer and the two beds are made with fresh sheets.

The mockingbird parents are becoming even more aggressive! I was on the opposite side of the garden, approx 30' from the nest location and the parents still attacked me. I am not going to get within 10' of the nest but I refuse to give up my garden time for the next week while waiting for the baby birds to fly. I won't harm the parents but need to find a way they will stop thinking that dive bombing me is a good idea. I am going to turn the battery powered leaf blower on to make noise and carry it with me. Dear Mockingbird parents......We have to find a way to co-exist.

I didn't realize how much HOA work I needed to do. I knew I needed to print two checks. I have everything entered for May and reconciled to now. And a balance sheet and income statement for the annual meeting that is on 1 June, either the day before I return or the day I return home.

Still have a very long list downstairs.

The situation at my house is pretty quiet. DGD and I went out for breakfast, and DGS and I will go out for supper. I never got a Wmart list together. The good news is, no bills have arrived and payday is next week, so I can probably still keep $300 in my "emergency" savings. And at some point, I definitely do plan to get a list for groceries and cook something!

I never chose a super power yesterday. If I had a super power, it would be time travel. I would love to go back and "visit" my parents and grandparents as they were growing up. OTOH... if I had gone to school with my dmom, I might have been able to steal OG away from his girlfriend, and then I would never have met dh and DS and dgrands wouldn't exist. That would be terrible. I guess it's good that things work out the way they do. I would not want to spend more than a day with my great-grandparents because, you know, indoor plumbing cannot be over-estimated.

I finally did vacuum and dust the master bedroom and bathroom, but I never went through the stack of magazines and books on and beside the nightstand. I may bring them in here to the den and sort while I watch the SEC baseball tournament -- AU is playing Arkansas, and the winner will be in the championship game tomorrow.

Y'all -- the SEC tournament is in Hoover, AL, just outside of Birmingham. The field is kinda in a bowl -- when you walk in you are at the top of the seating and the field is down below you. At the sides of the seating area, there are BIG hills sloping down to the field level. They have had a LOT of rain, and are actually in a rain delay right now before our game begins.
* Correction -- they are still in the game before we start. It's already 30 minutes past our start time, and they are in the bottom of the 7th inning with Florida beating Georgia 7-4.
The tv has been showing dozens of kids sliding down these hills and those kids are absolutely COVERED in mud. They are sliding on their butts, their stomachs, their backs... they are making memories, but they are a MESS.
I remember DS leaving a football game like this once when he was about 5 years old. He had been playing with other kids while we watched the game. I think we made him ride home in the back of the truck. But I bet these kids in Birmingham are going to be going a lot more than two miles to get back home. SMH... they are having a ball. Maybe their moms packed extra clothes.

Happy birthday to your dmom, blessed! I'm so sorry she didn't feel up to all the celebration.

LadyM, did I tell y'all about the bird in the gym at dgd's awards day? It kept flying around the ceiling for the most part, but finally it started swooping down lower and lower, and the principal actually flinched once during his closing remarks because it came so close to his head! DGD said they kids were afraid it was going to hit them and they were all watching it and trying not to laugh.
At Auburn, we have an eagle flight before every football game, and the crowd yells "Waaaaaaaar...." until it lands at center field, then: "Eagle!" DS said, as we watching this bird in the gym, "This makes me want to yell 'Waaaaaaaar..."

DGS is here now. He is in "his" room, sorting baseball cards. He and I played the baseball card game, (which I won!) and a couple games of dirty board -- and he beat me in both of those. DGD spent last night, and she and I rode around all over the place, like we used to do when dh was alive. I showed her where my grandparents' lived and some cousins, great-aunts/uncles, etc. We spent a couple hours with no phones, just riding and talking. And she seemed like she really enjoyed it. (She said it was good practice for their drive to Washington, DC this summer!) She was ready to go home this morning after we ate, and ddil came by and swapped kids after she and DGS ate lunch.
