It's Quiet Around Here

We are trying to adjust to the quiet here in our home. We are missing the kids a lot, but we are keeping busy getting things done that just weren't a priority before. We got the living room carpets and furniture cleaned. Word of warning for Tammy: Be careful with the strawberry milk...some stains don't come out. There are a few choice pink spots near the love seat that are there for good. Probably because of the "red" coloring, so be sure to wipe it up as soon as possible. However, the pink on the couches did come off. Don't know why some did and some didn't. We also got the den mostly cleaned up and the clutter organized. There were just so many papers that needed to be chucked. The back bedroom is ready for the bed to be put back in when we get time. I am hoping to get to the hallway closet today, and on Saturday we attack the basement.

I went to school yesterday to work on the computer class we have scheduled for August. Now it looks like the computer lab won't be up and running by then. We are STILL waiting for carpet and then the computers have to be put back in. The carpet was supposed to be put in the second week in June and we are still waiting. I don't understand why the authorities don't start screaming and insisting things get done. Here we are wanting training and we can't do it. If we wait until school starts it is too hard to get teachers to stay late. They have too many excuses to put in more time in school, which I don't blame them. But I have put in a lot of time to get ready for this and I am getting frustrated. It is time the administrators get things rolling!

OK, off my soap box. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Lorrie. Sorry for the delay in responding to your comment on our BLOG. Quinn and I are enjoying South Dakota. We live just north of Sioux Falls and have adapted quickly to the open plains, beautiful green corn and soybean fields, and incredible sunrise and sunsets. It's a beautiful place!
