Day off!

So today I took the day off of work to get a bunch of needed work done around the house. I 've been compiling a list, a very long list, of Honey do's and my honey isn't doing any of them! So I thought if I took the day off I could help motivate him. Ron's days off are wierd and this week he has Tuesday and Wednesday.


Here is part of my list. The stuff I had hoped we could get done today.

1. Convert Mike's loft bed into a regular bed.
2. Deep clean and rearrange Mike's room
3. Take down and store Air conditioners (Hello! It's November)
4. Clean and store patio furniture and cushions
5. Change/replace all burnt out light bulbs in house
6. Shampoo bedroom carpet
7. Finish last section of fence

Mind you this was just what I wanted to get done today! And as it turns out we didn't get that far.
We got an early start to things. I was up at 6:00 and litterally forced Ron out of bed at 7:30. Mike's bed conversion turned out to be a MAJOR ordeal. Plus his room was a horror! So we spent many hours in there. I did get all of the patio stuff cleaned and put away and Ron got 1 of the A/C's out of the window. It is still sitting on the floor in the front room but the window is cleaned and closed! Yippee! By 12:30 we were starving so Ron decided we needed to break for lunch and SHOPPING. When we returned Ron was dead! He had been dragging all morning but now he was completely DEAD! There was no waking him to get anything else done. Needless to say I was not very happy about this. I still had to finish Mike's room, make dinner, supervise homework, Family Game night and get everything ready for bed/work. So as Ron slept through EVERYTHING, even a very noisy game of Yahtzee the kids and I got even.




Here is a shot of Mikes room after we were done.




Ebony Ready for bed!

I am hoping that Ron will get more done tommorow. (I am not holding my breath thought!)
