Another Rainy Day

Ok, Amanda! This is for you! I'm updating!

This week is spring break and I've been ready for school to start back since about 45 minutes after it began! It's a good thing I work the switchboard since half this week's calls have been from my son! At least I'm grateful he's checking in! He's usually asking for money or a ride somewhere, but I always know where he is! Right now, he and his "posse" are at the church playing Wii games. I spent my lunch hour picking up and dropping off boys! Tomorrow, David is taking off to do things with Justin. That will be nice - father/son bonding time and mother quiet time! Even though I'll be at work, David can deal with things!

We have a group from our church going to Honduras this summer for a missions trip. Saturday they're having a garage sale so I saw my opportunity to get rid of a few things. Our basement looks more like a king-size storage locker than a basement! At least it isn't like at Mom's (which is now Alan's!). I think all the junk in the basement is holding the house up! I know I have clothes from the 70's she never got rid of!!! Anyway, Justin & I filled up the back of our van and you still can't tell we've made a dent in it! When we built our house three years ago, we moved from just over 1,700 square feet to just under 1,200! Makes a big difference! I definitely like smaller though. It's nice having half my junk in boxes instead of spread out all over the place! I don't even miss it! Maybe I should take the boxes to the church without opening them and just get rid of everything!

I don't have any pictures for my blog yet because I haven't had time to figure out exactly how to do it! I don't take as many pictures as I used to either. Those of you that have known me forever will remember that I always took pictures everywhere we went of everyone we knew! I have some awesome memories - and they're all sitting in bags and boxes all over the place! I do like scrapbooking, but I've only made it up to kindergarten with Justin's and he's now in 7th grade! I also did a Bible study for scrapbookers about three years ago and started a book for me. How far do you think I got on that one? Well, sad to say, only about 4 pages! I'm terrible! I have great intentions!

It's been pouring the rain all day and there has been snow mixed with it part of the time! Yuck! I thought we were done with that! They say if you don't like the weather in Indiana, just wait a few minutes and it will change! That's not far from the truth! Especially this winter. We had crazy mixed up days and went over 70 days in a row with either rain or snow, mostly snow! Don't you Southerners with you were here??!!??

Time to venture out in the rain to pick up my child and whomever else he may have collected today! Have a wonderful rest of your week!
