Weekend in review










I was bored yesterday so I thought I would get out and use my camera a bit. I took some pictures of the flowers in the backyard. I am not, by any means, a photographer so taking nature photos is kinda cool. Here are just a few. The one up top is my kitty, Sunshine. She is so sweet. She likes to lick my legs for some odd reason. The birdhouse is very old, obviously. The flowers are one bush that has 2 different colors on it. Cool.

The family and I were supposed to go to see fireworks in Laurel, with my friend and her family plus a bunch of other families that we know, but I didn't feel like it, so we stayed home. I layed in bed, I am PMSing, and watched "deadliest catch" for about 3 hours. That show is just insane! I did feel a bit better and thought that my life could be worse, check out those guys.

We decided to sell our Little Tikes playground. When I say playground, it is huge, with swings. I had to go out and pressure wash it to clean it up for the people coming tomorrow to look at it. I think it probably took about an hour to get all the crude off of it. We've had it for about 7 yrs, but it looks new. That rocks! I want to get a trampoline for the kids, and for me too. It will be so awesome for us to get out there and just have fun. I can't wait. Hubby thinks someone is going to break a bone in the first 2 days, he's a party pooper!!
So, I ended up pressure washing the entire house!! I love doing that! I like that I can clean just about anything with that machine. Sididng, gutters, windows and I even cleaned the patio in the backyard. Good times. I am really tired and soaking wet but it was all good.
My brother and niece came over and stayed all weekend. It's cool to have my niece over, she's that same age as my daughter, Drama Princess. The kids went in the basement and proceeded to trash it, with polly pockets, barbies, race cars and some other misc. items. At about 11pm my bro says he's gonna leave and leaves me with a big mess to clean up. No, my kids don't clean up after themselves, whatever. My whole thing is "if you want something done right do it yourself." I know it's a pain in the ass but my kids a lazy and I don't want them just throwing the toys wherever.
So, that was my boring weekend.
