  • Sorry Sarah no indoor skating pictures, it just looks like slimy dirty linoleum.  *snicker*


    We have three rafters up on our room.  *cheers*  There was a lot of prep work for the roof, but its going well now.


    Its been a long fascinating week with miniature disasters everywhere you turn.  I've failed to blog many of them due to exhaustion.  LOL


    The picket fence is completely painted on the outside.  I'm taking a two day break before tackling the inside.  Its looking good.


    My sister came out with my mom yesterday with her kids.  It was fun visiting with her even if she wasn't feeling very good.  She's up cause her husband has a month off from school so is earning some extra pennys at his old job.   They also had to sign papers as there house sold.   This means the financial pressure is greatly relieved for them until school is over. 


    We hung around here until after lunch, and then went and played at the beach for awhile.   The kids had great fun playing with their cousins and wave chasing.  The water in the Pacific is of course always freezing, but that didn't slow them down.

    Samuel has taken to drawing pictures of elaborate forts he wants his daddy to build.  I think I might buy him some draft paper as he actually has a pretty good eye for it.   Rob is hoping to build one of them with the junk wood.  *grin*


    My mom can teach him--Samuel about the drafting as she's very gifted with it--albeit self-taught.  Its rather amazing actually a few years back she drafted my brothers house, and had the engineer stamp it.   The engineer offered her a job, and said she'd just saved my brother $5,000.


    Some days its hard to be the daughter of super woman.  LOL  But thats okay at least she keeps life intresting.  She came out and snoopervised Rob and helped him figure out some engineering issues on the roof.   All of this while still going through radiation treatments.  Gotta love her.


    In the middle of all of that Cricket (the pony) was running around and somehow managed to kick Samuels new kitten.  It of course didn't survive.  Samuel was devastated.  I couldn't blame him.  He's lost two cats in a month.  So he got to pick out one of the kittys that isn't spoken for, and will be keeping it.


    Oh and about two of the disasters.


    ALWAYS remember to check your feet before going out of the house.   I went to church last Sunday with one pink birkenstock, and one blue one.  Kaylin spotted it as we headed in.  "Mom your feet are mismatched."


    and


    NEVER put a hot popcorn pan that just came off the stove on a linoleum floor.  It will melt your linoleum.

  • my dad was a self-taught electrical engineer - he did just as well as the college-educated guys on his job.

    about mismatched shoes - i can relate - on our first adoption, the very first meeting with our social worker, i wore different colored shoes to her office - a navy blue pump and a black pump - luckily they were the same style - i kept my feet under her coffee table as much as possible.

  • Your disasters made me laugh.  I have done then shoe thing many times.  In fact the other day we went to Cracker Barrel, I had on a nice black top with brown capri pants and..Hot pink flip flops, the ones that I wear out in the back yard!  Geez...hope no one noticed! I envy your weather by the way, to be at the water and cool...how nice!  This Sahara Desert Heat here in Texas is not my idea of Heaven!

  • Yes, your mom is amazing.  Glad you got a visit with your sis.

    And about the linoleum- Justin's mom had forgot a kettle on the stove for too long. When she discovered it, the kettle is had burnt dry on the burner and was really hot.  She picked it up and ran outside with it.  The result was burnt spots where bits of the pot fell on the floor.

  • Hehehehe! That's funny what Kaylin said. Kids say things in such a funny way, don't they?!

  • {{{SAMUEL}}} That's tough to lose another kitten. The pony kicked Peanut a few weeks ago, but he's bigger than a cat, and he's on the mend.

    As for the shoes.....hmmmm, I would laugh uproariously, except I've done that too. Granted, my shoes were navy and black, so it's not like they didn't LOOK close to the same. I mean, pink and blue? Really?! Now THAT's absent minded. *snicker*

    Is the floor fixable? That's a definate note to self item.
