Raining...

The rain finally came in yesterday while I was driving home from work... By 9pm we had lightning and it rained all night through this morning til just about an hour ago the sun came out... there is a slight breeze with a high of 61 degrees...
The boys slept in til 10am this morning... Hubby was off to work before 7am and I have been off and on the computer ever since and it is now almost 1:30pm... A nice relaxing day off with no school for the boys... Son3 is playing zoo tycoon and son2 is unloading the dishwasher... He is hoping for a turn on the Internet while I am flying through the house getting all my chores done in one hour before hubby gets home, lol... I did put three pork tri tip roasts in the crock pot with a herb marinate... and the ham is now out of the freezer and thawing in the fridge so I can cook it on Saturday... I am also showered and dressed and I did a load of laundry... I was going to wash all the bedding but not enough laundry soap, oh darn... I even went outside for a bit and took pictures of the roses and clouds... All my email is cleared and I am all caught up on facebook... still need to catch up reading blogs but I have all day Saturday for that... and I'll be on vacation all next week for blogging time and spring cleaning... I just remembered I need to boil the eggs so we can color them on Friday.... And son1 text son2, something about taxes.... He better hurry and bring me his papers...

Work went really fast yesterday and yes, we were way busy with me all alone all morning... by time I went home at 5pm we had sold 96 pairs of shoes, mostly women's and kids for Easter... I was safely stocking Reebok in the athletic shoes, no one over there... then after lunch I opened boxes... I was going to do more stocking on Thursday and Friday but I think I will just open boxes both days since I will not be there all next week... Tomorrow I'll be alone in the morning again til the supervisor comes in and I can go to lunch...

Last night we watched Castle and Fringe... I don't even remember falling asleep... Son2 stayed up late watching Yes, Man with Jim Carey... I have the supervisor hooked on reading Twilight now, lol, she finished Twilight in a weekend and had to run right out and buy New Moon... She watched the movie like ten times already... She says it's all she can think about, just finishing the books... It's obsessive... lol... I said good, now you know how I felt for five weeks...
I'm off to clean the kitchen and clear the dining room table, put the laundry in the dryer, boil the eggs, straighten the family room and vacuum...
Happy Journaling...

Do you have to dye eggs for Easter? Oh, I used to hate doing that. Bless my mom's heart, she knew how much I disliked that so she'd have the kids come to her house & she'd do it with them. Now they have those nice plastic eggs available...that would be so much easier. After 4 really nice summer type days, we are back to low temps and a storm is moving in. Linda in Washington

Glad you had a great day off. I know you can hardly wait for your vacation next week. Have fun with the eggs. I didn't get to do any this year but DD did and we had an egg hunt. Seems so funny because we do our family celebration the week before. Have a great evening!

Girl you sure do stay busy. Everytime you tell what you are having for dinner... my stomach growls!! lol It always sounds so good. Thinking about it is not like eating it!!! lol Hope you get everything done. Wish me luck too because I am going to be busy clear up until the 21st of April. Blessings, Janie
