Thursday?....... Really?

How did that happen? We went away to my brother's for the Holiday and National Yia Yia day (my late mother's birthday, which we've made into a holiday for our family!) and got home very late Sunday night. First thing Monday morning I had to take my oldest to the Ortho, found out she needs a top AND bottom palette expander coming in at about $2,000. Then we came home and did some laundry and rested ~ man were we tired! My brother and his wife have just had there basement finished, and the girls really enjoyed that space. Now we have partially finished our basement with a toy room for them, they asked me for a "secret room" under the stairs like the one at my brother's, so Tuesday was spent cleaning out the basement toy room, and subsequently the rest of the basement. Yet again, I have a large donation pile, through out a bunch and re-organized what was left. The result is an awesome space down there! There toy room makes much more sense now, as does the rest of the basement. I do have a few touch up things left, but all in all it looks fantastic!!! Oh yes, back to Tuesday. My cleaning got interrupted by 4H, and then I was too tired and sore to do much after that. Yesterday we were again up and out early for the first of hubby's procedures to hopefully help with the pain from his disc problems in his back. So after a couple hours there, we came home and finished my cleaning frenzy. I finished just before dinner time yesterday, and I am very happy with the results. The girls are too! I need to finish the secret room off, but need to get some supplies first.
So, I guess now I can see how it got to be Thursday already!!! Will it get better you ask? Well while I've been re-vamping the basement the rest of the house is a mess. With 4 dogs, I really can't go this long without vacuuming, so I will be catching up on the rest of my cleaning today. The girls have riding lessons, and I have to get to the grocery store (I have been raiding the pantry and freezer for food all week, but now they are empty too!!!) Tomorrow you ask? Why it is wedding day of course and we have grand plans to be up early watching it. A great lesson in British history for the girls, and a great inspiration to my event planning blood as well. Plus, what a fun girly event too!!! (Hubby is not planning to wake up with us!) Then we are volunteering at the Celtic Hall for Bingo later on. So it doesn't appear to be slowing down any. But, hey who needs rest? Life is for living, right??? :)
Happy Thursday all!!
