Ahhh....

Today was GORGEOUS!!! 79 degrees!! We had a really good day. We got up at 9am when my dad called to tell me that the previous owners were coming to get stuff out of our house. I was so excited!! We got up and showered all that good jazz. Dad got here once I finished my shower. He talked to Nate for a bit and then went next door to talk to the dude. They plan on coming back again in the next days with helpers to get more stuff. I hope that take a crap-ton of stuff. Whatever good wood they want to leave is fine with me. I told Joe I want him to make a sandbox & swingset for Nate and a deck & a round picnic table for me. I don't want much!

After breakfast, Nathan & I left to run some errands. We payed the cable bill for mom and our utility bill. Laura called and said to come to Burger King. We got lunch there and Beau & Nate played in the playarea. I went down the slide with Nate. Note to self: If you not a petite adult, don't go down the slide there!! Then off to the bank, then to get the car washed (thanks Dianne for the free coupon -- Nate loved it!!), then to County Market to get corned beef & cabbage for dinner, then to Wendy's to get Joe lunch (didn't want him to feel left out since we had lunch), then finally back home. We sat on the porch with Daddy while he ate. I also sliced an apple (thanks Laura) and Nate & I had that. I started the corned beef and let it simmer.



After lunch, we went to get Daddy's hair cut. He looks a bit different. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. We walked down to Big Lots while Daddy walked to Hardee's to get a milkshake. We were in the checkout line and I realized that Joe had my wallet! I tried to call him but he didn't have his phone. I kept looking out the front windwon and he finally showed up. It's a good thing there wasn't a line at the register! Once he got there with his milkshake (half gone by then) and paid for our stuff, we let Nate ride the Bert & Ernie firetruck. He loved it and was NOT happy when the ride was over and we left!



We came home & I worked on dinner more. Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, & carrots. We don't usually like this meal but it's supposed to bring good luck so we ate it. I was impressed because Joe said it was pretty good. He said Nate ate pretty good too. (When I got home from work I had to have some 'cause I'm not gonna miss out of the good luck!) Work was super busy. I was supposed to be on the internet but it was super busy and I had to be on the phones. Oh well, I got some upsells so it's cool.

I had to put Nate to sleep when I got home. He hasn't been wanting to go to sleep in his bed lately. I really need to get him a cotton sheet made soon. Maybe that's why?? I layed him in our bed with me for about 15 minutes and then took him back to his bed after he was calm. He went right to sleep. Joe surprised me by getting the old computer desk out of the closet and taking it to the basement. I'm happy.

I'm thankfor for Laura for inviting us to lunch.
