Funny word mix up

Saturday nights at the grocery store here in Laie are quite busy. Lots of people and long lines, but everyone visits with everyone so it's not a miserable experience. Tonight it was me, Shane, Erin and Krista. We get in line and are a little crammed between the guy in front of us (whom we know but he was already talking to the guy in front of him) and the ice cube case. Erin announces to Shane, "I'm feeling a little constipated..." at which he looks at her quirky and quizzically. Then she says, "Wait, I think I mean....claustrophobic....."

I've been working on the how-owse...

Saturday I tackled the deep clean of the bathrooms. I shouldn't be surprised at how dirty the kid's bathroom gets in between adult cleanings. But the adult cleaning hasn't happened in quite a while. I know we can all say "ewww." It looks so much better now! Shane and the boys did a lot of yard shaping up. They mowed the lawn, weed whacked, cleared corners of trash and other undesirables, filled in holes, replanted plants--a very accomplishing day of work in the yard. Today was a holiday so we divided up. The boys finished the patio, I worked in the garage with the girls and while I thought Shane was grading, he was actually working on our bedroom and closet. Happy Surprise! I think we got the whole garage swept except for the spot under the pile of laundry. I threw out bunches of piles of stuff on my desk. I'll finish to the desk and shelves one night this week. The boys keep asking me, "If the inspection is next week, why are we cleaning now?" I replied, "Because it took us a whole day to do the garage and patio?????" I think it's time for them to have jobs outside the home.....

Jet lag

I hope you're not planning to read too long. Jet lag is killing me, not really, just dragging me down! Early bed for moi! All but me and one boy are in bed and in about 5, it'll be just one boy not in bed. :)
