Pandora's Casket

Duncan has grown so fast! I can hardly imagine that it has been a month already. Time sure flies fast. He is the cutest little guy. My favorite thing is when he puckers his little bottom lip when he wants to cry. So darn cute!!!

Nothing like having babies around to giggle at! He looks around a lot and smiles at what appears to be nothing. Love to see the smiles that he does.

Grand babies are the best that is for sure!!!!

Well, I am off to read reviews for Norm on safe diet pills for her to take. Yes, he wants to see if they will work on loosing a little weight. Actually he needs to loose A LOT of weight but that is a different story all together!

Later today I will be in the work room re-organizing things. Now the room is small but boy after the winter it sure is a mess. I have things all over the place that I was to cold to put back in their proper places. At the time I knew it would make me mad but did not care!

After I get it back to normal then I will once again have all my oils and herbs in there where they belong. I am hoping that I will be able to set it up this summer to be able to use it in the winter instead of dragging things all over the place. I enjoy working in there to a point. The room throws off a weird vibe but I ignore it mostly. haha

I started a list of things that I need to do in there and get rid of. Also a list of things to buy to make it easier to find things. While out and about I need to buy diet pills for Trevor as he says he needs them. The guy is a stick figure! I think he was joking really so I might find some cheap ones as a joke to get for him.

Today is another re-organization day. If I get it completed today I can mark that off my list of projects for the summer!

Don't you just love a three day weekend? I know I do as there is no shipping to do which makes for a relaxing three days for me. Although with the three days that means more people are off and my orders are piling up and up Love it, hate it, can not make up my mind!

We do not do a lot on this holiday at all. We will all get together for a family BBQ on Monday to kick off the official start of the BBQ season. I was going to invite Norm but decided that I did not want to spend an entire day listening to him whine and complain about the acne treatment that is not working for him. The man has issues so we will just leave it at that.

Today I might make the potato salad so the seasonings will seep through it and taste better on Monday. Trevor I think is pretty excited to be BBQing as he has been talking a lot about doing it.

Other than that it has been a nice relaxing holiday weekend!

Along with summer comes along the home improvements and touch ups from the long, freezing winter. The first thing that I did this past week was completely clean the Great Room & family room. The Great Room takes nearly a full day to do and I still have to take down the drapes for cleaning.

I have already cleaned the kitchen & family room windows and drapes. I was surprised that they turned out so well. I always worry when cleaning the drapes for some reason.

One thing that is on my list for the GR is new Minka lighting as the room is so dark. We have overheads and table lamps but I want a more softer lighting system towards the staircase.

When I mentioned the installing of new lights you should have heard the groans! haha I gave them a month in advance warning to prepare!

I still have a few more drapes and windows to clean which I will do this coming week. Lucky me!!!

When we first moved here we found that we had these HUGE black ants that were coming in the house from who know where. Poison was used and we were not bothered by them for a couple of years.

Last night while watching TV in the Great Room I saw three of those pests. Where there are three there are more. I added ant poison to my list along with a prescription of Lipofuze to get while I am out.

These ants are huge and they do bite or sting. With Jeremy toddling around I do not want him to get bitten by one of those. And of course I sure do not want to either!

This coming week it will be off to my favorite store Lowe's to pick up some ant poison for the entire yard. That will teach them from coming in the house!!

For the past two weeks or so I have begun to update my summer tasks that need to get done before October. There are so many that I can hardly believe it!

One thing that I wanted to look into for Shaina was the diet supplement that she wanted to take. She needs more information on it I think

So far this list of mine is growing by leaps and bounds. Each day I find one more thing to add to it. Which by doing this adds to the chores that everyone has to do! They just love it when I do that! haha

Only a week and a half left of school here for the kids. I think that I am almost as excited as they are to see school end!

I really enjoy the time that they are out for many reasons. The biggest reason is that they are home more and we can do a lot of things that we normally can not do during the year but another important thing is that we have no real schedule. No alarm clocks!!!

With the boys being able to stay up later it gives me more time to look into things like term life insurance as this is something I generally put off!

June 9th is the last day. WooHoo!

Last night Shay and I went to the Friday night auction that they have here in town. I have not been there for a good couple of months so I thought why not go take a look?

The boys and Norm tagged a long for something to do as well. Norm was rambling on and on about how low his credit score was which I turned a deaf ear on and focused on what was there.

I ended up buying nearly a truck load of things for the low price of $19.80. Yep the back of his truck was packed with boxes of all kinds of things that will go into my storefront over the next few weeks. As much as I hate dealing with glassware it does make money so I had to do it! haha

The auction was still going when we left. I got tired of looking at the food they were selling. I mean who would buy cheese & ham at an auction? Answer to this a lot of people. Nasty is what that is. Hot and not refrigerated. Yuck!

It ended up a good evening
