I HAVE LOTS TO KEEP ME BUSY

 I assure you, I WILL be sleeping in today!

I was so tired by last night that I felt physically sick.  And my brain felt like it was numb.

It was just a very emotionally draining weekend, what with the funeral, the battle to actually get there with Stew's support, and then what happened afterwards.

So, I hope this week goes smoothly!

TODAY is Bex's Birthday.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our wonderful Daughter In Law.  See you tonight for a nice dinner and cake.

I managed to finish off her birthday present yesterday morning, I just have to hunt out some paper and a card now.

I will probably get some when I go down to the supermarket for cake!  

I'm not nice enough to bake a cake... 😄😅😆

ABOVE:  Because I'm taking everything off the walls to strip the wallpaper, I decided it was a good opportunity to de-clutter some more.

YES, I did a lot of that 15 months ago when we moved here, but I have realised we still have too much 'stuff'.

So Lacy scored this little arrangement.

So, my plan once I get outta bed is to go down to the supermarket for dinner stuff, and a cake.

Then home, and do all my housework.

Then I shall carry on moving stuff between bedrooms.

We will end up with two double 'guest' bedrooms, and the littlest room for my own 'walk in wardrobe'.  It is closest to our bedroom... so very handy.

ANON:  yesterday's post has been edited to address your concerns about how we referred to the Police.

   What happened to you is horrible, but are you really going to call the cops pigs? That is disgusting. They were doing their job. You'd be the first person to scream for them if you were in trouble. Cops hate domestic disputes more than anything in the world. They can die attending domestic disputes. Do you really want to set 'cops are pigs' as an example to Keera?

   Many, many years ago I used to be a potter. I made pottery pigs (flat so I could write on them) and the saying 'Pigs can fly' is where the saying: "This is the house where pigs can fly, and Mr Nobody does everything" comes from.
   Steve used the word 'pigs' because it was part of the 'saying'... not to disparage the police. We have utmost respect for the Police, let me assure you. AND we did not refer to the policeman as a PIG in front of Keera. It was unfortunate that we used the word Pigs to refer to the police, and for that I am sorry. We did not intend to offend anyone, and I have edited my post to reflect that.

I did notice you ONLY referred to Keera, not the other young children in our home?  Hmmm... leads me to believe this ANON is not a friend, but rather a foe.   

Now, back to today.

I've been out and bought paint samples for the house.  EXCITING!

I got a cake for Bex.

Lacy and Brylee are here with me, helping with a few jobs around the house.

ABOVE: All my 'wardrobe' stuff in the small bedroom now.  It's a bit of a mess, but shall eventually get sorted out.

ABOVE:  The middle bedroom is big enough for three single beds if we ever have three grandkids staying overnight.  Which is bound to happen now.

12.25 pm:  The girls just left.  Thanks for your help girls, love ya both very much.

Now... time for some lunch, before I paint a wall!

LYNDA: To be 'fair', when Steve came up with the 'saying, it was the following day, and all three children were in the house.  But not in the room.  To single out Keera?  Hmmmm.  

*To prevent a shit storm, no more comments will be published over the 'Pig' saying.* 

Give me a break.  Said it was OVER.  So leave it.

I'm waiting for paint to dry.  I've done two strips on the family room wall... of the two most preferred paint colours.

I say 'colours', but in reality they are both white.  Slightly different shades.  But white. 

Well... dinner went well.   We had beef meatballs in a sweet and sour sauce over noodles.  Followed by cake.

Photos tomorrow.

For now, all is quiet, I'm tired and ready for bed, and it's only 8.24 pm!

I.  COULDN'T.  HELP.  MYSELF.
