We are playing in "The Best of The West" Tourney...games tomorrow are in Mission Viejo and Sunday is in Laguna Niguel. And to keep on topic...I will be leaving work at about 2:00 or 2:30 today to start laundry that I may not get to on Sunday, if we are winning.

LOL, don't you just love having to try to plan around things when you don't know if you need to or not? If the girls had won tonight, they'd have had to play tomorrow and sis has had nieces birthday party scheduled for quite a while. She started calling people yesterday, if the girls win, we'll have to push the party back a couple hours, lol. Took my cans over (got $53!) and then dropped off the oxygen tanks at my aunts. Dakota was dressed in her uniform and ready to go an hour and a half early, lol. Posted about the game in my folder, btw. After sitting around waiting, we finally left to go get my niece and take them over for warmups. After the game, I cooked dinner and then cleaned up the kitchen. That was about it for me for the day. Tomorrow I need to do a little shopping for my aunt and go to Costco for sis, then we have nieces birthday party. I'll probably do some cleaning at aunts house before the party starts. I'll be there anyways and might as well get it done even if it is a few days early.

I have a couple of loads of laundry to do, then change the sheets and try to get my goodwill donation logged into its'deductible so I can have them come and pick it up. I may do a little closet reorganization, it has been bugging me and since I am getting rid of stuff maybe there is more to give away.

Wanna come do some closet reorganization for me too Dipo??? I need it badly, lol. I cleaned up my kitchen this morning and that was it for my house. Went to Costco for sis, then to Walmart and dropped all the party stuff off at her house. Came back home to grab Darren and then went to the party. That was about it for the day. I ended up with the beginning of a migraine and we came home pretty early for a family party. Not sure if it was all the people, the wind, or what but I was feeling pretty lousy. Came home and took some excedrin and spent the rest of the evening on the couch watching tv.

Monday's Mission Bedroom's a good one for me this week. The kids that is, lol. Think that will be their chore for the week, with me helping out some. I need to get a little cleaning done around my house tomorrow and some laundry. Kota has practice in the afternoon and Darren school, but not much else planned.

LOL, I did nothing that I had planned. I ended up doing some work in my office, figuring out my retirement reinvestment, cleaned up the kitchen and that was it. The laundry basket is still sitting in my living room, maybe I will leave work early and do it when I get home! My sister comes this week so I need to get a move on with some of my reorganization. I know exactly what I want to do, I just need to do it! Since we are in the bedroom I should be able to do some work on the closet reorg.

LOL Dipo, I got up at 8:30 this morning and haven't done anything yet either! I'm thinking I may go out and sweep up the driveway and porch while it's not too hot out, which means getting moving now, lol. I can throw in a load of laundry while doing that and then do the house and bedrooms later on when it's too hot outside to work. Darren's parents have offered Caleb a summer job doing yardwork at their house (10 hours a week.) I think it's awesome, nothing wrong with him having a little job and earning some money of his own and nothing wrong with helping out family, but we did have to tell him that doesn't mean he gets out of chores at home, lol. So while I'm sweeping the driveway, he's going out to mow and Dakota's going to help me.

We got the front yard done. I swept up the driveway and porch, Dakota raked and helped me, and Caleb mowed. Looks good out there. I did have a freak out moment. When we came back in I went to wash my hands and realized my wedding ring was gone. I was ready to go search out the yard and yard waste bin and thought I better have Kota check my nightstand. I have a habit of pulling my rings off in the middle of the night and have found them on the nightstand, bed, floor. Good thing I did too, she found it under my pillow! I hadn't even noticed til I washed my hands I didn't have it on. Now on to the kitchen.

Well that was more successful than I thought! I put a load of laundry on and put dishes on to soak. Told the kids they were going to clean their rooms for 15 minutes and see how much they could get done. Dakota had her whole room clean in the 15 minutes and decided to vacuum her floor. Her room is spotless. Caleb cleaned his whole room though decided to vacuum later. While they were doing that I grabbed the laundry out of my bedroom. I think tomorrow I'll give them 15 minutes to go through their dressers for outgrown clothes. Then Wednesday start on their closets.

Tuesday's Mission More cleaning around the house tomorrow. I may sweep off the back patio, but haven't decided yet. Hehe, my oldest niece came home with us after practice (her little sis went to spend the night with another cousin) to spend the night and Kota took her in her room, told her she could play all she wanted but if she made any mess at all she'd be cleaning it up. Totally cracked me up the way she said it, like little mommy. They did play in there most of the evening and even ate dinner in there and her room is still spotless. Hoping they can keep it that way tomorrow, though they'll be spending time outside practicing softball for most the morning then going to sis' house to swim.

Whew, makes me tired reading all this energy. Back in the ol' days I could have kept up with you. But it's fun reading, makes me feel vicariously productive. lol Thank heavens Kota found your wedding ring! Would have taken HOURS searching for a needle in a haystack (so to speak).

Oh, worse than that I think. I had one moment where I thought, crap! I was holding the dustpan in my right hand (and dumping it into the yard waste bin) and ring was on left and if I lost it outside, it most likely wouldn't have been in the bin. That really freaked me out, that we'd have to search the grass, the driveway/porch area, the garage, the street. I told Dakota I'd carpet clean her area rugs today so I should get to that soon to give them plenty of time to dry. Need to pick up the living room and do a few dishes, maybe a little cleaning in the den too. Nothing real major today, just need to get up and do it!

Didn't really do much last night, was so tired because I had to be at work at the crack of dawn for a conference call, that I ended up in bed at 7 pm, LOL!

Sounds like Darren some nights Dipo! He's back on 10 hour days (5am-3:30pm) which means he has to be up by 3:30am to get to work on time. Monday nights he has class til 10 and come Tuesday evening I'm lucky if he makes it through dinner. Sometimes you just need a good, long night of sleep!

Wednesday's Mission Woo hoo, closets! Kids aren't going to like me much, lol. I did get the area rugs cleaned today. Six of them, three that belong to Kota (two of them are pretty small, flowers.) They look good. I didn't make the kids do any chores today other than putting their laundry away. My niece spent the night last night and stayed til about 1. When she left, Kota went with her to go swimming and then I picked Kota up and stopped and grabbed her bff for a sleepover on our way home. Figured I'd give them the day off to play. I did tell them no more sleep overs or friend/cousin visits for a couple days. We haven't had much down time since summer vacation started. I love having their friends and cousins over cuz it gives them someone to play with and keeps them occupied, but I need some quiet time, lol. I'll be doing cleaning around the house during the day. Need to go pay a bill, but I'll wait til later in the afternoon...girls have practice so I'll do that on the way to the park. More laundry to do too.

WRT the missing ring, hey it's not like you can run a magnet through the yard - wouldn't pick up Gold/Silver/Platinum. War, you were so lucky! I'm reminded of a horror story, years ago back in the late 70's. I had a Supervisor, really sweet & lovely lady. She thought she had a "foolproof, burglar proof" hiding spot for her jewelry and ALL her Mother's jewelry, the portion that she inherited. Underneath the plastic liner in a wastebasket in one bedroom that was rarely used. Came home and discovered her visiting Sister had decided to be helpful. Cleaning, emptying all the waste cans. Yep, it was garbage day. Horrors! Fortunately, the City set aside 3-4 garbage trucks of dumping for them to dig through. I don't think it would be so easy to do that these days, given the increase of residents. They found some of the jewelry, but not all. Warning, that is NOT a good hidey place for valuables! Today I weeded the sidebed all along my house. Had some rain the past day or two, so easier to pull. Can relax tomorrow when it's expected to rain again, and work inside. I can't believe how much faster & bigger the weeds are this year, especially after the freezing winter we had. One patch I just weeded a couple of months ago is totally overgrown and 2 feet high already!

Very lucky. Certainly made my heart skip a few beats between the time I realized it wasn't on my finger and the time Kota came out with it! OMG how horrible for your supervisor! At least they found some of it, but too bad they didn't find all of it. I haven't done anything today yet, I'm running on very little sleep. I was still awake when Darren left at 4, then sis woke me up around early to tell me aunts blood sugar was down to 55 and then it was up to 400. She'd been giving me calls every half hour since to keep me updated in case I needed to take her to the dr. Luckily it went down to normal just about 2 hours ago. We can't figure out why that happens, but it does ever so often (usually once every 5-6 months.) Dr isn't too concerned as long as it gets back to normal. I'll get some stuff done, but it's not going to be a lot...I feel like I've been beat with a stick, lol.

I watered all the plants last night and ran the dishwasher. Managed to get it unloaded this morning and took out some recycling on the way to work. It is hot here, so doesn't encourage a lot of activity when I get home. I do have some stuff to do, though, so I hope it cools off some.

Cuz I take her to dr appts. If it was neccessary for her to go to the ER, sis would go with her, but for normal appts, it's me. Sis has a bad back and can't help aunt into/out of the car and aunt can't get in or out without the help. Sis does emergencies, I do normal, lol. Hot here too, Dipo. Darren's got the water turned off to the swamp cooler until he gets the water line replaced. We've got the blower going but it's not doing much good without the water.

Sigh...I was half way through breakfast/lunch dishes when sis called back to tell me aunt's blood sugar is back down to 43. Called the drs office, explained what was going on. They want to see her so she has an appt for tomorrow afternoon.

You blow air through wet pads. Works great in low humidity areas. Only thing we had in AZ
