Busy, busy, busy

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted something.  It has been so busy with the end of school.  I don’t think I can recall everything I’ve been doing but will touch on a few.  Jenn and Charlie tore the plaster off the walls in the hallway upstairs.  What a mess.  Tom and I went over there last weekend to clean out the basement(cellar).  We still had a bunch of junk down there.  They had gotten a big dumpster in for the plaster so thought it would be a good time to get the junk out.  We were really tired after doing that.  Tom did something to his wrist and went to the doctor on Monday.  He took x-rays but nothing broken.   Guess he just strained it too much.  Hasn’t been able to do much with it but luckily it is his left one.  I have been fixing meals in the evenings and taking over there as I know they would probably not stop to fix anything. 

Friday is the last day of school for the elementary schools.  I have been trying to get my inventory done in the library but it is going slow.  It takes a long time to scan everything.  I stayed over a little on Thursday and Friday just to get a little more done.  It isn’t hard work but just takes a long time and seems to tire me out.  Guess maybe I’m just getting old.  I am trying to get done by Friday so I don’t have to go back on June 1st.  That is the staff work day and I don’t have to go if I get my work done.  Ashley has to go to school on the 1st as they had a day off a couple of weeks ago when we had a swine flu scare.  One child went to the doctor and they said it was a possibility that it was the swine flu so they closed the middle school and high school to do a thorough cleaning.  They had to close both as they share the cafeteria, auditorium, band room, etc.  It turned out negative but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry.  Unfortunately, they have to make that day up. 

Our church planted a garden this year to donate vegetables to the food pantries.  They moved a shed that was out in back of church to where the garden is and the kids painted it this morning.  There were only a few there but we had a good time and it looks really good.   They painted flowers, trees, butterflies, etc. and themselves.  I think some of them had about as much paint on themselves as they did on the shed. 

Don’t really know what we are going to do the rest of this weekend.  It is supposed to be nice tomorrow so may go for a motorcycle ride.  We might just sit and do nothing.  Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day.
