Noah's Home

Well, we didn't go camping after all. Just like I thought, Jim did not bounce back from working nights and was a real crab. He also told me he would use the time off to get things ready, and he grocery shopped. He just doesn't understand all that it takes to get things ready to go somewhere. I wish just ONCE he would help me get ready to go camping. Instead he procrastinates until the last minute, and instead of helping me, he is busy getting his fishing gear around! We must also have different priorities, because instead of helping me, he set out two huge packs of chicken wings to make for the boys to eat while we were gone. What is wrong with a box pizza??? He spent half of the day on Friday preparing them-a lot of help he would have been to me had we gone.....The weather is going to turn next week, so this was our last chance of the season to go. Instead, we are going to pull it out of the garage and clear out things for the winter. Liquid things and things with batteries.

Noah is home for a long weekend. Yesterday, we went shopping for some new t-shirts. He is feeling older and wiser and no longer desires to wear his high school tees. The guys got their hair cut yesterday too (all but Nate). Now we are ready to take a picture for our Christmas card. Noah informed me that he is glad we are doing it now. The house he lives in made a pact- no shave November. I also picked up my order at Cabelas. Have to take the winter coat back and order a new one though. It is beautiful and soft, but dry clean only. That is not going to work for me!

We had a plumber come out and replace all the guts on our toilets. Have to call and have him come back because one is still acting funny. With the new hardware, our cabinet that went over the toilet didn't fit anymore, so I went and bought some stacking bins and organized everything under the sink. Still have some mess there to clean up. We also hung the shelves over the new tv. It turned out pretty good-it fills the space and gives me a place to put some pretty things.

Well that is about all for now. Better get going and do what I need to do before the day gets away from me.
