Work Work Work

This week has been awful for housework.  We were pretty much only at the house to sleep, in between trips to Kansas City and a trip to Topeka from Friday through Monday.  We would drop our stuff at the door and never pick it up again.  The dishes (mostly cups) piled up, occasional laundry was done (but not folded), a layer of dust covered everything, and the house was pretty much an all around mess.  I don't function well in a mess and have been working away little bit by little bit to get everything back in order, but it wasn't going fast enough.  Today I decided that I had to get the house completely clean, because I couldn't live with the mess anymore.

I am proud to say that I am done.  The house is clean.


Scotts Lawn Care even came out this morning so in no time I suppose our lawn will be looking even better than before.  Truth be told, I didn't have a problem with our lawn.  I was happy with it, and thought it already looked great but our landlord wanted to do it, so I'm not complaining.

I made some fruit flavored water that I got Sandra's food blog, here, after reading that she likes her water like this and doesn't really like water.  I have to be in the perfect mood for water.  It has to be ice cold and I have to be very thirsty, so I decided to give it a try.  Let me just say, yum!


The first is a mixed berry that had strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, the second one has cherries and blackberries, and the third has raspberries and peaches.

Since I've been busy all day, and haven't gotten the opportunity to run to the grocery store yet, and Shawn has Dungeons and Dragons (I know, he's such a nerd) tonight, so Shawn is picking up pizza from a new pizza restaurant here.

Tonight while he's gone, after the kids go to bed, I plan to hopefully get a little more reading and studying done.


I'm so excited to start my RCIA classes this summer.  Yesterday, during my reading, I was moved by what I was learning.  I just knew that I was making the right decision.

Thank you. I'm excited to start RCIA classes in August. Until then I'm doing online study classes. It's been great for me spiritually.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my br...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
