I hope to get some laundry done while H takes his bike to the shop to get the clutch fixed. Then, we're going to price insulation, so we can pick a weekend to buy it and blow it into the attic before Old Man Winter gets here. This afternoon I'm roasting a couple of pumpkins from our neighbors garden, and will be making freezer pumpkin butter in the crockpot. I can't wait to try it!
We had some insulation blown in a couple of years ago in the attic, and it made SUCH a difference in the house, summer and winter; the house is always comfortable. Good luck with your project!
Thank you! Last winter was brutal, complete with our water line freezing in the attic (it didn't burst, thank goodness). We have enough for what was required when the house was build 30+ years ago, but have talked about increasing the R- Value for a couple of years. Last winter sealed the deal for us.
DSs school is hosting a family picnic so we're going to that. Tomorrow I'm going to a sip and paint class. I can't wait. I registered for it before H lost his job thank goodness because I need some good girlfriend time and this isn't something I would otherwise do with no income coming in.
I just got done eating a DD pumpkin pie donut. I have regrets..
H is out of town, so the youngest kid and I are going to friends for him to play and for me to get some adult time, watch football and probably eat more shit I'll regret.

I am getting a manicure and pedicure today. My husband and I had lunch plans but he is still sick so we had to cancel them. Looks like we will relax all day long
I did my weight training already (and did not pee on myself doing jumping jacks! Lol). Now I'm watching project runway on the DVR. Lunch out then sewing later.

The last of my post flood renovations are being done today! I'm thrilled to have a leak proof rec room. The painters are coming Monday, and the carpet later in the week. I'm so excited that my house will finally get put back together, and my kids will have room to play. I'm so excited about the new windows going in! Sunday we would like to get to the city to go furniture shopping. I'm so excited it's almost done so I can start decorating and do a mass cleaning of the house to rid it of drywall dust.

I'm at dance right now, but lucys almost done. Gonna visit with my parents for a while so DH can sleep- he did overtime last night then went out to the boonies to get a new-to-us bed frame from his aunt and uncle. They buy new furniture like it's their job.
Tonight DH needs to occupy Lucy so I can watch the OUTLANDER WEDDING!

I also bought a used flute off a FB buy and sell for $40. I played throughout high school, and actually became very good at playing it. I need to go over some music theory and what not, but I'd really like to get back playing again.

Ahhhhhh I'm now in the couch watching football. All that still needs to be done is fold laundry which I'll do during football! Phew busy morning/early afternoon!

On a whim we went apple and berry picking today! It was nice to just jump in the car and have no plan. We just got home and h suggested I nap while he watches a movie I don't want to see. perfect Saturday.
I'm not as brave as I thought I was. H and I decided to try this couple's rock climbing thing despite the fact that neither of us have tried it before and H is afraid of heights. You're supposed to climb up this 5 story wall, enjoys the views up top for a while, then take a zip line down.
H made it about 20ft, realized his fear was kicking in, and calmly climbed back down. I was the one that somehow made it all the way up the wall only to have a panic attack on the top landing. I cried. I'm so embarrassed.
I went to dd's soccer game this morning. Came home, took ds to the school playground for a bit, got lunch, then put ds down for a nap. I cleaned bathrooms and the kitchen floor, then cleaned out our under the stairs storage space. Now I'm sitting on the couch watching The Cosby Show.
I'm trying to talk h into a date night (with ds in tow, ha!) because he's been working on our deck for a month and a half straight with no down time really, but I doubt he'll go for it.
