Oh the pain....

This weekend has been busy. I don't mean a little bit but a lot of busy. I left work early Thursday afternoon and took off the entire day Friday to get the kids ready to go to their trip with the church for the weekend. I had unknown amounts of laundry to get done and everytime I thought I actually might be done with it more would pop up from somewhere in the house. Like out of the boys room in the closet or dirty clothes out of my daughters drawers because she was to lazy to bring them to the dirty clothes hamper. I ran that washer and dryer a half of day Thursday and all day Friday, you know my water and electric bill are going to be huge. Friday afternoon my friend Laura called me to ask me if I still wanted the bedroom suite that they had and I told her that I couldn't afford to buy it from her right now and she probably needed to sell it. She told me they were not worried about the money we would make arraingments and I told her that I didn't like to get involved with money matters with my friends because money causes friendships to be lost and I valued her friendship to much for that and no amount of money could replace her as my friend. She said she understood. About an hour later she calls me back to tell me that her and her husband decided to give us the bedroom suite because they knew that we would take care of it. I was shocked. Happy and excited but shocked. I love it, it is absolutly beautiful and I am so very grateful to her and her husband for this wonderful gift. All weekend my youngest son and I moved furniture from around the house to make room for the new bedroom suite. It took Friday night and all of Saturday to get it right but it is so worth it. I also took advantage of the moving around to clean out some stuff and throw some stuff away. As well as cleaning out part of the boys room to make room for the chest of drawers to fit in there. And I took a bunch of my home interiors items that is no longer available and hung up. It is really starting to look good in the house and I'm very proud of it but good grief I am sooo tired today.
Looks like this week is going to be an busy one as well. I have 2 kids playing soccer and all week they have practice then both have a game on Saturday at the same time. Should be fun!!!

Have a great week!!
