Oldest son got home last night from his travels, so now all is well with my world. :)
The rest of the day will be filled with a grocery store run for eats for the weekend, taking the least one to McDonald's for lunch (she made it known that she wanted me to take her and when I said that we'd have to wait until I had enough extra money to take her, she mentioned it to her dad, who gave her $4 out of his wallet, and then yesterday she hit on my mom and was given the paper money out of her billfold). Clever girl.
Then there's dancing tonight (not a class, but a weekly dance party), and hopefully, a quiet weekend. My rattling brain needs more rest. Might spend Sunday at my neighbor's house we're looking after. The new renters will be here in a few weeks, and this might be my last chance for some *real* silence. Thought I might gather up some books, notebooks and pens, something thing fun to eat and just have some extended time there on Sunday afternoon/evening. I have to sleep in my own bed, but for the day, it might be just the ticket.
Now off to delegate the boys. Since two of them are at loose ends, trying to find work but having little luck, I gave them the choices of cleaning out the fridge/freezer, washing and painting the kitchen ceiling, or painting the hall. Looks like it'll be working out to my benefit. :) I told them I'd give them until next Tuesday to get it all done. Then they can wash my Suburban. We don't have wood to chop, but boys need work, so I'll keep 'em busy until something more lucrative shows up.
