That’s right, it’s October. Another month, another season. Jeeze time, slow the f down!
The week was another jammed packed crazy fest. We picked up 800sqft of flooring(that sucked moving) and bought more paint (pure freaking white). We finished laying all the tubing for the radiant floor heating, the radiators are painted, in place, and plumbed. The plumbers are coming tomorrow to give us a new boilers o we can use all these new heating devices. There were two birthday parties,(happy birthday Miley Lu and Alex) a day at the pumpkin patch and drawing flowers, and the constant running back a forth between hardware stores. I had the birthday boy over for breakfast and asked him what he wanted me to make him. Anything, and he chose eggs bacon and toast. I made the eggs and toast but was not willing to cook the bacon. Bad aunt maybe, but I wasn’t about to stink up my house with that. Just no. So I gave him chocolate chips and sprinkles instead. He was happy. Oh and my little (by giant) brother came home for the first time for the weekend from the military college dressed in military garb and looking all beefy and smart. Crazy what a month away from home will do to a person. I think he is much cooler now.(but don’t tell him that)
Maybe one of the best parts of the week…..Found my vintage yellow fridge! Oh how I love the craigslist. The mr and I went and picked it up yesterday. Had to load the heavy as hell fridge on top of the Volvo and drive 20 miles. It was terrifying . I thought the fridge was going to go barreling off onto the hood of the car or tip over and roll away. But we made it and now we are proud owners of a vintage yellow frigidaire fridge. It’s all sorts of fantastic.
So yeah, I am really tired today and feeling a little lousy this morning. I think I need to take it easy today, I can feel this turning into full on sick if I don’t catch it now. The mr and I need to clean up at the house and get ready for the plumbers, but other then that. Me and the couch are going to be friends today. Coffee, book, sleep. Sounds like a plan.

Not going to lie. Today is a hard day. It’s Sean’s birthday… He would be 27.
Thump thump (that’s my head hitting a wall)
I am not at the point yet where I think of Sean and am not sad because well, I am sad all the time. But I really want to get there, where when I think of him, it makes me happy, or well, more happy then sad. I know it’s going to take time (I just have to say that I hate how everyone says it just takes time. No shit) and that I will get there someday. But today, I am, for him and for me, try spending today thinking about all the good times and not be so sad.
So yeah, going to spend 1/2 the day doing some work (keeps the mind at bay) and the other half with the family. They are grilling up hot dogs while I eat lettuce by the head, and we are just going celebrate Sean the way we celebrate everything in our family. Together with food. We will sit around, talking about everything and nothing, let the littles run around , let the dogs run wild, and just be. The is sun is shinning, the world is warm, and the family will be surrounded by each other. (like everyday for the past two weeks.. so much family time) And of course Sean will be the center of attention, not there physically, but in all the spirit.
And as for taking the day to chill, I am postponing my day of nothing until tomorrow and locking my door on the world. I love my family oh so much but if I don’t take a day to myself… I might bite someones head off.
Anyway. Got some stuff from the good old internet that happen to be of some interest to me.
-Did you know it’s National Park Week.. National parks are the best so you should go get your butt to the closest one, it’s free! (Bring a picnic and some hiking boots)
– This coloring book needs to happen.
– I feel in love with these photos that a mom took of her kids. They are amazing
-Screw GI Joes, if you want plastic action figures get these. Yoga Joes
–House love.
-Ever wonder how museums keep their art collections clean? Check this guy out cleaning a Pollack. There is no way I could do anything close to that, I would loss my shit.
-I will be looking for this book next time I am at the library (for the littles of course) ‘Can I Eat That?’ a Whimsical New Children’s Book
–Tree houses in house plants.. two of my favorite things together in one.
-What Do Recyclable, Biodegradable & Compostable Really Mean?
-This is just one reason I avoid eating out.. I am paranoid, and for good reason… ‘Farm To Fable’? Tampa Probe Finds Many Restaurants Lie About Sourcing
