• The Upstairs Is Done!!!!!!!

  Today we finished cleaning the upstairs.  What an exhausting, rewarding experience.  The people at the Oneida Area Daycare Center simply love seeing my SUV pulling up in front of their building.  I have already brought them two big loads of stuff and I have another load to take on Monday.  The next goal is to do the dining room, livingroom, and kitchen on Monday.  They shouldn’t take very long since they don’t any of them have closets in them.  We can just pull out furniture and vacuum and dust and clean out drawers.  There are only three cupboards in the kitchen.  The music room is going to be the challenge.  There is a very large set of shelves in there that are piled high with fabric and sewing supplies.  that is all going to need sorting.  Tuesday we will do the washroom and the laundry room.  Then the men will help with the garage and shed and then we will be done.  It even looks like we are going to get our sewing room back. 

  Watch out, PG OBrien, one of the jobs that you will be doing when you are home is building a wall.  Matthew needs help building a wall going into the boys room.  We know that you have a lot of experience building so you will be good at it and you can instruct him in the fine art of building.  I promise not to take too many pictures while you are at it.  MK also wants you to shovel out the cow pen in the barn across the road.  It has a pack in it about 18″ thick.  I wanted to put Claudius in there to start things but he is busy with his lady friends so he hasn’t had time.  

  So much to do around here.  Ian mowed most of the lawns for me today.  All I have left to do is around the pool.  (that is too fussy for him so I will do it)  The garden has to be rototilled also because the weeds are starting to come up in it.  The scrap man is going to bring that dumpster this week so we can start cleaning up the steal from the barn pile.  Lots to do and not enough time.  I’ll be sure to keep everyone who works well nourished though.  

  Looking forward to my soldier coming home.  48 more hours and he will be here. (God willing)
