I guess I'm a blogger now

Well here I am......I'm a blogger now!

I've thought about doing this for awhile, but just finally got around to it. I'm excited to post my first blog.

Let's see.....now I have to figure out what to blog about today.

Well, my brother is about to move back down from Spokane and he's moving back in with my mom. We've been very busy at mom's getting the house ready. He doesn't know it yet, but she insisted on moving into the smaller bedroom and giving him the larger bedroom. I think it was really just her way of getting to remodel the bedroom. So she painted her new bedroom a really soft aqua color, we went and got her a couple of light gray area rugs to lay on the hardwood floors and then she did something odd with her ceiling. We spent Sunday putting up reflective insulation on the ceiling. She had seen a home decorating show with these tin tiles on the ceiling and fell in love with the idea........only to find out those tin tiles are $18 each.......meaning about $600 to cover the ceiling. So we walked around Home Depot for awhile trying to figure out a less expensive way to get the tin look on the ceiling. When she sees this silver, aluminum looking, reflective insulation in rolls. Well, if it will work, it would only cost about $60.....considerable deal right? So we buy a roll to try it out, I call my husband and son and tell them to meet us at moms(they're such good sports) and we spend the next few hours stapling this stuff to the ceiling. It's not my taste, but mom loves it. Now we just have to get the furniture moved over and her new bed arrives on Saturday. Then in 2 weeks we'll head up to Spokane to move my brother down.

I've also been working this summer (I'm a paraeducator with the school district here, which means I get summers off) on sorting through my basement of accumulation. 16 years of accumulation as a matter of fact. Anything we didn't know what to do with or where to put, went in the basement. After weeks of sorting, all I have left to do is finish pricing all the things that will go in a yard sale in September. I've also rearranged and cleaned out all of my cupboards in my kitchen, that was also quite a project. Then in our office we have this shelf, that at one time, I don't remember when, was organized. It was kind of a catch all too. I went through and cleaned and reorganized it. It's been a very productive summer.

Now, lets see........oh......I'll wait to talk about the kids until tomorrow. I don't want to use up all my blogging thoughts for the first day.

God Bless!
