Well, my little girl is still sick, so we didn’t get as much done as planned. I did run her over to Pizza Hut to redeem her Book It! certificate at Pizza Hut. (You know, earn free personal pan pizza for reading a certain number of books during the month.) We also picked up a few things from freecycle. 5 HUGE (50 envelopes each) boxes of hot chocolate and a wood/canvas laundry sorter for Michelle’s room. Gotta love freebies! I received my china protectors in the mail today (these are thanks to a gift certificate that I received for Christmas).…

The Week to Come
Posted in Thoughts
We enjoyed having Daddy home with us today even though Little Song Bird was under the weather. He had a lot of schoolwork to get done, but we still had about half the day to spend with him once he finished. She missed her gymnastics class tonight since she didn’t feel well. It turned out to be a good thing though as it gave her more Daddy/daughter time. Tomorrow, it’s back to our study of the Presidents.

Hmm… what’s freecycle you ask? Freecycle is a great way to get rid of all that clutter and stuff you no longer use. It’s also a great way to get some amazing things free! That’s right freecycle is like a constant free garage sale. You post stuff that you want to give away and other people post things that they want to give away. Now, you are “competing” to receive stuff just as others are competing for your stuff. Here’s another great thing — people come and pick up your stuff from your house; no more carting stuff to goodwill/the…
Truck Update
Posted in Thoughts
We’re jumping up and down. It appears, after much work and persistance, that D’s truck is back up and running. Yes, I get my Suburban back!!! He still has some tweaking to do, but at least it is now driveable. There are still projects to do, but those will be down the road (hopefully). We’re praying that there will be no more unexpected projects in the near future.
