better late than later

Well, 4 days is long enough to :

• Learn you need just one or two more days.

• Realize you can't paint the hallway when there is a hole that needs repair.

• Have your relatives ask you to help move.

• Require Hubby to suddenly work overtime. (not related to aforementioned moving)

• Have your child survive after being bitten through the fence by the neighbor dog.

• Know your neighbor will not put down their animal after dog bite incident #6. (this includes Cujo chewing on their own child...twice.)

• Witness my children playing 'African Wilderness' in my back yard.

• Know it's time to fix the mower.

• Attempt to locate and buy a goat, unsuccessfully.

• Be thankful that grass will finally lay down flat when brown, dry and long enough.

• Attempt to locate and buy a very hungry goat, unsuccessfully.

• Play LIFE, Pass the Pigs, Mancala and teach a nine year old how to play Sudoku.

• Get laundry caught up.

• Shop and purchase school supplies for the three oldest before Aug 1st. Woo hoo!!
  

• Finish two books.

• Witness the affects of my daughter believing the garbage to be the new 'dishwasher'.

• Dig 9 dirty spoons from the garbage.

• Learn about two great fundraisers by great bloggers. (Stephanie and Cachinnator)

• Dig into a book that is part of a study group I belong to.

• List almost all of my DVD's, some books, and some music on my page at www.listal.com

• Balance my checkbook.

• Be thankful I had four days with nice 70-80 degree weather.

• Soak up some sun.
  

• Miss my blog pals.

• Be back tomorrow.

OKAY, now go check out the fundraisers. I challenge you to give, even if it's $5 or $50, every little bit counts! Stephanie is involved in missions in Jamaica. Cach is fund raising for the MDA. My half-sister has Muscular Dystrophy so this is dear to my heart.

Thanks a MILLION!!
