Day 1 - I slept in til 9am. Ahhhhhh. I crossed off Running the chipper for Omi - only because I couldn't get the damned thing started. Omi came up to my house and planted a few things she'd been saving for me but didn't trust to give me until she KNEW they'd get planted. I've killed several gift plants by taking the home and letting them sit on the patio til they were dead.
Day 2 - I got up by 8am. Still ahhhhhhh. I cleaned up the kitchen and worked on the laundry til Stef woke up. We ate breakfast and I took her to school. I got the rest of the yard cleanup finished, or at least as much as I can do this week since we're limited to 3 bags of trash/week. I did more laundry and started painting the powder room. I decided on 2 shades of peach. I asked Steve for his input and he could really care less what color is on the walls...so it's ALL MINE!!! I got the first coat on the medicine cabinet, then it was time to get Stef.
Day 3 - I vacuumed the downstairs, then Stef and I went to MIL's to help her pack (for the 7th house since I met her 10 yrs ago!!!). We packed for about 2 hrs then ate lunch and got ready to go to the pool in her trailer park. We spent about 2 hrs there. It was really fun, once I got Stef to go in the big pool with me, rather just splashing around in the baby pool. She did really well, even being a Klingon the whole time.
Day 4 - I slept in til 9:30!! And Stef didn't get up til 10:30! Holy crap! Swimming can really take it out of a person. Late breakfast and one load of laundry later, I took her to school. We got there just in time for nap time. Of course she started to pitch a fit when I tried to leave so I sat down next to her nap cot and rubbed her back but really doubted a nap would happen because of sleeping so late. When Miss Milly (the helper) came back in the room, we talked and she offered Stef to go play with the computer so I could leave. Worked like a charm! Now, here I sit, thinking about how many things are left on my list and knowing I have to pick up Stef around 3:30 or 4 so we can go take MIL out for her birthday dinner. I also have to call the pedi dentist to schedule her tooth-filling ordeal, now that I checked and found out that is a normal/standard way of doing it. I'll be heading down to do some more painting and hopefully will get to vac the upstairs and defrost the chest freezer in the next 2 hours. HA!
Here is the list:
X yard cleanup
living room declutter
bedroom declutter
sewing
paint stairwell
paint powder room
X run the chipper for Omi
defrost chest freezer
pantry cleanout/reorganize
type up insurance list for Omi
change light shade for Omi
X help MIL pack
go swimming with ex-co-worker Fri pm

Sounds pretty sweet to me.
I have two questions though:
1. Does MIL live in a trailer? If so, is she moving to her 7th trailer or a house? I'm nosy.
2. They let Stef use a real computer? Tell me more about this!
Enjoy the rest of your vacation! Goes by too quick, doesn't it?
I didn't see trip to Orlando in that list :)
Elisa - MIL lives in a double wide trailer right now. It's nice but she's afraid of too many things needing to be fixed soon and the lot rent keeps going up. She's moving to an end unit townhouse. This is her 7th abode. 1)Condo 2)Apt 3)Townhouse 4)Single home 5)a room in our house (AGH!!!) 6)Apt 7)Trailer 8)this new townhouse.
Hmm - I guess I didn't count our house when I counted the first time.
The day care has 3 real computers in Stef's room, set up with learning games. Pretty cool!
Oh - and Linda - did you forget? I practiced saying NO when you invited me to FL. LOL
