the big days eve
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, March 30, 2014
Today is the day before the 2 big days it will take to get mom and Lauren moved, so I am going to say today is the "big days eve". ok, i guess that is stupid, but i never claimed to be brilliant lol.
I still have the stupid knot in the back of my head, but at least the ax is out of my forehead today. Well, mostly. My forehead just feels like it is "touchy". Like it wouldn't take much to set it off.
HUGE PROBLEM... So back when the skunk went in our garage... well.... guess where we keep the folding chairs... yeap. so we... ok, i didn't do anything, it was EO and Steph working on them. EO wiped the dust off them, then Steph sprayed them down with the skunk remover stuff. then we let them sit. Then EO washed them all down with pine sol and not just sprayed them with the skunk remover stuff but wiped them down with that. They still smell. Not NEARLY NEARLY as bad, but, enough that in the house, you get a whiff of it. So we put them out on the deck. Which means, we don't have chairs for today. EO said, the guys can sit out on the deck with them, because you won't notice the smell, and it is warm enough, but there is still a problem, there just aren't enough chairs. EO said, it was really only two chairs that smelled bad, but still.
I am guessing our lawn chairs are all out there too and they most likely can't be saved because 4 of them are fabric and the rest are mesh...oh, i think we have 2 canvas chairs out there too.
how many gatherings have we had and we use all our chairs? Now we have none. I don't know what we are going to do.
EO is going to ask the friends if they have any chairs they can run and get from their homes (those who live nearby). He says there are folding chairs at the hall, but with all the snow, it would take forever to shovel them out of the shed.
Well, I guess we will just have to sit on the floor this time. (well, for those who can)
I wish i could just get rid of this knot in the back of my head. I think I need to go to the chiropractor one of these years.
Last night, EO said that it is getting harder to do gatherings. I said, the one thing I like about them is the house sure gets cleaned. He said that was what he liked too. We are going to shampoo the carpets after the luncheon, as they could use it. I told EO that, we just don't get at the spring cleaning like we should when we don't have these deadlines (like having a party). He thinks once it is just the two of us, it will be much easier to clean. Well, that is after we throw out a bunch of junk we don't need. I agree, after we empty all this useless stuff, it will be not such a hassle to deal with. "simplifying" our lives will be so fabulous.
I should look around the house and see if we have any more chairs anywhere....later. right now, i am just trying to rest.
oh, guess what?! yesterday ma handed EO the voice recorder. guess she had it after all. When she insisted we had it, i freaked out and broke down crying and felt horrible that I was such a failure for loosing it... and she had it all along. What can I learn from this? Don't condemn myself and have more patients.
