What a week! Well I have finally come to terms with the AOL journal and I am letting it go... I don't know how many times this past week and all the countless hours I have wasted, and even Robin tried helping to migrate the old journal over and it just ain't gonna happen... I have deleted all my photos from AOL Pictures, but I think since I copied and pasted so many pictures into the journal that blogger just can't understand or handle the volume and it just freezes up at the end and won't migrate over... Of course all the pictures keep going into Picasa Album and I had at one time 153 folders of 500 pictures each (90%) in the Picasa Album... I can't believe I haven't gone over my limit, I'm wondering if they are giving us migraters a grace period to house our pictures temporarily while we migrate over... So now I have to finish deleting all those folders, that's gonna take some more time so that I'm back down to my original 16% of what I have put in the new blogs so far... But I'm ok with it, it was becoming more of just that I was gonna do it then actually wanting the journal... lol... So now I missed out on a whole week of blogging with everyone and now I'm so far behind on what everyone has been up to.... But I'm now on vacation, except Sunday morning of just going in to set up the ad, so I've got a whole week of blogging catch up time... and I didn't want to waste it agonizing over the AOL journal...
Plus this week I worked six days cause we had a visit on Wednesday that was then canceled Tuesday night but another visit is still coming when I get back from vacation.... So we are looking presentable once again and our mountain of boxes that we were behind on is now about caught up, I had a bit of help though... now just hope we don't get behind while I am on vacation... and all the mismate shoes are gone and displays are done and the floor is finally looking full again...
Son3 had a good week and is now happily playing PlayStation...
Son2 is off to spend the night at a friends and go to a Haunted Forest... they also have a haunted house and haunted hay ride but they are just going in the forest... so he was too excited and just left a few minutes ago...
We are still battling ants... of course it is high 80's and heading for the 90's again so everything thinks we are having second spring here, even the iris' are blooming again... crazy iris, lol...
My house is a disaster, although actually I got a few things done while waiting all the hours for the journal to migrate... a bit of filing, some little projects and such... the Halloween cards are almost ready to mail, just waiting for hubby to print them out at work...
We had lost the Transformer DVD in son3's room so even his room got a bit of cleaning, I'm hoping to continue while on vacation, and I even hung up his new SpongeBob curtains... The DVD was found in his underwear drawer, lol... Had fallen off the DVD player into the drawer...
I have not even been outside or taken any pictures except when we went to the pumpkin patch... I went to work on Sunday thinking I was off at 10am cause we had no hours, but when I got there discovered we had a ton of hours to get ready for the visit and I was working til 2pm... We had planned on going to the pumpkin patch plus I hadn't brought my lunch or anything thinking I was off early... So hubby had everyone ready when I got home including me some lunch and we went for about an hour... We're hoping to go again this Sunday cause we didn't get any pumpkins yet...
Hubby is still waiting to hear if he got the week off for vacation... He does get Halloween off... so we can finish getting everything ready for our yard decorating for the trick or treaters... Son2 is planning on going trick or treating with his friends, but I have talked son3 into just going on our street and then helping me hand out candy... He had more fun last year handing out candy when we got back from trick or treating then actually trick or treating... He gets tired and says he's done, lol... me and hubby say one more house, one more house........ Tomorrow I want to fix all the bags of goodies for the trick or treaters... and son2 needs to finish putting together the foam castle decoration we got... Halloween's as big as Christmas here, lol...
And with all the drama of the week I haven't even been doing my crunches or weight lifting, but I have been drinking more water and I have my yogurt everyday at lunch... I have been having ice cream every night though as hubby found these toffee ice cream bars that are soooooo good.... but the scale is still being kind...
Speaking of which what are me and son3 gonna munch on for dinner...
Happy Journaling...
Raisin is circling my chair... He's mad cause he doesn't like his cat food and it was the last can and he doesn't want the dry either... He says where is that left over chicken I got to have yesterday, well, you ate it all.... lol.... I slept in all the way til 8am today, yay, tomorrow I will be up at 4:30am... Hubby and son3 slept til 10am... and son2 got home from his sleepover at noon... He had a great time! He said he did get scared about three times, the characters dressed up were great and the best part was his friend was afraid of everything, so son2 and friend's parents had more fun scaring friend and listening to him scream, lol... They went out to dinner too and of course stayed up til 2 or 3am playing video games... Son3 was home all day playing video games, while I was off and on the computer... I didn't get any housework done today but straightened up the front room and did the dishes... We watched Gremlins the other day and so we watched Gremlins 2 today while we packed up all the goodie bags for the trick or treaters... I just remembered I was going to make teriyaki chicken for tomorrow... Supervisor never called today so hope that means I am still off at 10am tomorrow so we can go back to the pumpkin patch... And I was gonna watch Ghost Whisperer today too, maybe I'll go do that now while waiting for hubby to get home from work.... and get the boys in the showers and settled for the night so when hubby gets home we can watch our shows from the week... I think we still have CSI, CSI NY, Criminal Minds and Numbers... Supernatural and Smallville were so good this week... Supernatural will be a Halloween one next week and maybe Clark will get his cape this season... OK I found Raisin a little piece of chicken in the bag of frozen chicken so cooked that up for him and I think it's done... off to feed the spoiled cat....
