A quick update

I'm here and among the living but I've been swamped and haven't taken the time to blog.

First things first....a big THANK YOU to Rock Chick for the great iPod shuffle I just won. It is great (once the girls helped mom figure it out!) and now I can just clip it on my sleeve and go. I've used it at work and around the house and it's so compact I'm afraid now I'll lose it. Don't worry...I'm taking good care of it. I did a quick sync with iTunes and got a lot of the girls music for now...hmmm...makes me feel old. Hopefully one of them can help me load some of my "mom" music on the little thing or maybe I'll take the time this weekend to load them myself.

What have I been up to? Well first off I've been up to my elbows in paint and other fix-it stuff. But it is through, the living room, dining room, hallways, stairwells and adjacent areas are painted and look beautiful. Now we are just waiting for the flooring to arrive. They say it should be in the warehouse on June 18th at which time we can schedule it to be installed. I can't wait! D17 says she wants to get her room painted before then. I made her a deal...she gets it all ready (walls cleaned off and washed, room cleaned out, etc.) and I will buy the paint and help her paint it. So it's up to her now and we'll see how far we get. It would be really nice to paint those rooms but truth be told I just can't be the one in charge of another painting job right now. If she gets it ready I am more than happy to help and get it done. Time will tell.

Well it's late and I've got to get to bed but wanted to send off a quick thank you and update. Hopefully I'll post more in the near future. Got a lot on my mind and want to get it out!
