My sister, Laurie, makes this statement a lot. She is a happy person. Tonight, I am sitting here thinking...can I tell you how happy I am. I had a great day. Nothing to exciting but I just thought I would share.
It was a late start day so the kids didn't have to be to school until 9:35am. They were able to sleep in so it wasn't a difficult morning. I had a doctors appointment and was told I actually lost 5 pounds! I couldn't believe it. I have been walking on the treadmill. Brooks said to me yesterday that I looked SKINNY! He said it 3 times and didn't even want anything. I am far from skinny but at least I'm getting on the right track. After my appointment, I came home and did laundry and pick up the house. My parents were coming to pick up our furniture and other garage sale items.
The folks showed up around 1:00. I didn't think they were coming until later. Anyway, it was nice that they just came to hang out. Usually, they won't sit down and always want to do things around the house. Laurie got home from work around 2. I fixed dinner and we ate at 4:30! Are we getting old or what? Then we loaded up the furniture and they went home. It was a nice afternoon.
Our new furniture is being delivered on Friday. I'm so excited! I'm having the carpet cleaned tomorrow. It is a mess. Hopefully, with the clean carpet and new furniture, I can enforce the "no food or drinks out of the kitchen" rule. The kids don't like to follow the rules.
I love the kids and love to have them around. They are staying with their dad tonight and it has been SO nice. It was nice not having to pick them up from school or help with homework or make supper and hear how they don't like what I'm fixing or making sure they have showered or ask them to put their clean clothes away for the 27th time or make sure they are in bed by 9 but ends up being 10 or 10:30. I could go on and on. It is just nice having a break.
We have joint custody with their dad. They stay with us on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and with their dad on Wednesday and Thursday. We get them every other Friday and Saturday. Basically, since I moved in, they have been with us full time. Their dad has been "working" out of town, I use the term loosely. Laurie and I love having them with us, although, it's nice to have some peace and quite. By the time Sunday rolls around, we will be ready for them to be back home!!!

I am so happy you are happy! The thing with telling the kids 27 times to put their laundry away happens in my house as well. I think it's just a kid thing.
