• The well made plans of mice and men...

  
  

  Well that statement fits us today.  I *thought* I was gonna wake up and go for a leisurely Christmas shopping expedition, and have a nice break from my family.

  
  

  At four am this morning Rainee Grace woke up screaming cold blooded murder.   We went and got her, and found her icy cold.  We were afraid this was gonna be a problem as our laundry room which she is sleeping in is NOT insulated, and is cold, but we hoped with enough blankets it would work, or maybe we just plain didn't think.  Anyhow, she was cold,  It took a long time to warm her up, and she was up for the day.  We felt like heels.  Sooooo this morning the project we'd been talking about, but not wanting to do took priority.  What is this?  Making Rainee a bedroom.    We had the space, just didn't want to buy the stuff, or do the #$@*( project.  So today I went into town ate a quick breaky, and went and bought the stuff needed, and Rob has spent the rest of the day putting up walls.  Its not his thing, he can do it, but its slooooooooow going.   And I keep hearing umm growling coming from their.  

  
  

  As a result of this decision ALL of the junk that was stored their has to be restored somewhere else.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  I tried to par some of the gunk down, but couldn't figure out what.  Already pared it down to the bare minimum.  Besides getting rid of books which wouldn't make enough difference we're hurting.  So, I think tomorrow, or the next day or so gonna be making a run to Silverdale to get some cupboards for more storage.    I'm gonna make the cupboards in a box shape so theirs cupboards on all side, and the top will be my laundry table.  I've been dreaming of this, but it hadn't been a priority.  It is now.  *snigger*  Have Christmas decorations sitting on the kitchen counter.

  
  

  *dreams* of a garage..... *snicker*

  On other fronts Halloween was fun.  I took the kids downtown and we went trick-or-treating.  All the merchants open their stores for 2.5 hours.  It was fun, and fun to see all the munchies and their costumes.  I did this by myself, and the kids were quite good, except for the half a block which I LOST Jamari.  Yep lost.   So I grabbed two friendly looking moms who watched the other four, and weaved through all the trick-and-treaters looking for one little black gorilla.  Found him crying in a grandma's arms who'd seen his panic.  Each child apparently has to do this once.   Taught him a good lesson though...'cause he wouldn't get more then two feet from me the rest of the day.  *snigger*  Soooooooooo greatful to the grandma!!!!

  
  

  Have a trick-treat picture, but haven't uploaded it yet.  So later.
