Again I have become a bad blogger due to the evil Facebook... but wait I have discovered something yesterday... I have discovered the Google Reader for blogs... I know, I'm a little slow... I can just leave it open on my tool bar and it shows me when a new entry has been added... at first I did not think it was working as nothing new was showing so I went to my blog to check on new entries and nope, I am just able to read faster than you can post, lol.... So maybe that will help me keep up and not feel overwhelmed with blogger anymore... And keep me away from Facebook once in a while... not that I do anything there but read status updates and play a few games...
I have been on vacation this week... my last week of 2009 vacation hours... I am watching Tribute by Nora Roberts with Brittney Murphy... Hubby had to work all day and then go back to cover for a meeting this evening... Tomorrow he is off and we get to spend the day together going out to lunch and shopping for a birthday present for a bday party son3 is going to on Saturday...
Son1 has been busy working on cars at work and working on his car... A few weeks ago he changed his car from an automatic to a manual shift... So Sunday through Tuesday of this week he had to change the rear differential I think... and while he had everything torn apart, he also took out the air conditioner since it did not work and put in something like a fake air conditioner and he changed out the radiator... when he was all done he had a gas leak so after work on Wednesday, he borrowed my van, he put a clamp on the hose and now the car is all up and running again... Tonight he is off to work again but off tomorrow... still only getting 15-20 hours... He did however take his training to be a tech 2... He can't be a tech 2 til a position opens up but he can do the commission tech 2 jobs along with his tech 1...
Son2 had his 16th birthday on Monday, but we started the celebrating last Saturday... we got him a XBox 360... he's been wanting one for a while... I thought I had found a great deal of used games online at Walmart but when they came they were for XBox not XBox 360, didn't think you could still get the old games... so we mailed them back yesterday and son2 has already gotten several games from us, some bought with gift cards and some loaned from friends.... so guess where he is right now...
Son3 is all excited this week between son2's bday and now on Saturday he is going to a bday party at the Lazer Quest to play lazer tag for the first time...
Fresno must have been in a bubble this past week... we barely got two of the seven inches they predicted... no lightening, no thunder, barely any ominous black clouds... I did see a beautiful sunset with all the blues and pinks and sun rays streaming up through the rain clouds...
I've just been piddling around the house this week... This was my room back in September... it's a dump all for everything... and then some since son1 moved in....
Another before shot...
Now these are after shots... got all of the boys baby things in the tubs... son3 is 8yrs old and I still had baby things stacked about... still need to go through the tubs again some day and downsize a bit more... interesting how at first you save everything and then as the boys get older not everything is as precious...
So now half of the dresser is actually clear... now no more dumping... all those drawers need to be cleaned out too.... lots of cards and letters and mementos to be sorted and stored...
The floor in front of the bed is all clear and we can walk without stubbing toes...
The corner by the window I finished up today and put the recent certificates and report cards in the boys folders I put together... The boxes are the boys school saved school papers and the plastic drawers are from my front room office space that we cleared for son1....
Now of course have to sort through all the stuff in the hall that we moved out of the front room office to make room for son1... But my room is a bit more pleasant now and more spacious...
Well Tribute is now going off... Think I watched the movie more than write the entry... It was good! Of course Nora Roberts books are better than the movies especially her trilogies... Now Supernatural is coming on and I'm taping Bones and Fringe... Time to tuck in son3 for bedtime...
Happy Journaling...

Wow you did good this week. With Bob gone, I've been working on the spare bedroom...and haven't accomplished much. I had it all stacked on his bed and tonight had to clear it off because my grand daughter is spending the night Friday. I found a bunch of "garage sale" stuff in boxes~don't know what to do with that. We can only have one GS a year and it has to be on an approved weekend. Last year the council didn't even schedule one. With my luck they'll schedule one for this coming summer the same weekend as my class reunion. Some of the stuff I put on eBay & Craigslist and I think the rest of I'll send off to a thrift store. Love the blue sky pictures...Linda
Your stuff is like the stuff I have only mine goes to the attic or the basement and waits there for me to go through it. I still have those baby things, cards and little things that are mostly memory book stuff and can't seem to let go of them at all. My goal when I get the time is to sort it out and finally get rid of things. If my children don't want anything then I guess there is really no reason to save it. Enjoy that day off with your hubby. Those days are treasures indeed.
'On Ya'-ma
Lol..I certainly agree that as time passes we tend to be able to let go of more things..Good thing too..lol
It does feel nice to get rid of extra clutter:)
Enjoy your week-end,
Sheri
Linda, thanks for stopping by my journal. Seeing a comment after being gone so long lifted my spirits. And talk about motivation! Seeing all you got done in your house got me going on my own. Families are great and you've got a terrific one.
Take care and have an awesome day.
You really got a lot done. I have been going through stuff in the basement this week. I hope to down size a lot. When Makayla is on spring break i hope to go to Oregon and get our stuff out of storage, or at least get the most important stuff out.
