Lay Off

Well this weekend went fast as usual! Games Saturday morning then that night we watched the Zags game (not by my request... thanks Shena!). Only half though which was nice (thanks Shena again). Then played some Banana Grams, Scattegories, and Battle of the Sexes with Pete and Shena. It was lots of fun! Teacher Shena ruled the roost at Banana Grams but I kicked some major tail in Scattegories. Battle of the sexes was kind of a bust, but Shena and I won that one too! Duh
Now on to the bad news/good news. My mom is facing another lay off and this time they didn't say for how long. That is very scary for her and she has been extremely stressed. She is trying to pick up odd jobs anywhere but hasn't had any luck. This is where the good news comes back into the picture! Since she is bored solid and wants to keep busy to minimize stress she has been itching to start some projects around our house! So... we didn't object and with her help, gave her a few to start on(all in the name of keeping my mother sane... of course!). We aren't quite ready to start work on the baby's room just yet for fear that it will be done and I will be sitting around watching the clock and calendar for the next 20 weeks! The floor, well that is just too expensive of a project right now and will have to wait until tax time! SO, whats next you say? The laundry room, Kitchen, and touch up painting! WOOO HOOO Go crazy Mom! She has taken it upon herself to use her knowledge from watching countless hours of HGTV to sand and stain our cabinets and replace our old crusty hardware! In the laundry room, if her lay off is more than a week, she will be scraping the ceiling, painting, and placing new shelving. Well well, now that sounds like a television show in itself. They are all pretty cheap projects, and ones that we weren't planning on getting to in the next few months so KU DOS mother!
Hope every one's weekends went well.
