I just packed a few things and needed a break. Packing tiny breakable things is a pain and it takes me a long time. It's not fun. So I can take a break.

I'm excited about a bunch of stuff.

1. drawer dividers for silverware
2. paint for basement floor
3. cleaning the basement floor before I paint it
4. I bought a little clock with a moustache for the kitchen. 
5. there's a wood floor under the upstairs carpeted rooms
6. i found the Orla Kiley designed spray, soap, and dish soap dispensers at Target. They have a pear pattern. They were all gone last week while I was there.
7. Barnes & Noble payday is every Friday.  
8. (I'm less excited I get scheduled 5-9:30 on days I've been subbing since 7:30 AM.)  
9. hopefully I can sub a lot in the coming months
10. clear glass storm doors to replace the ugly white storms
11. the woodwork all over the house is still beautiful and the replacement windows were put in to look like original windows.
12. I think it must be driving the ex-in-laws etc. nuts not knowing what's going on with my living arrangements because the kids' fahzha keeps dropping these little "so, you all moved in yet" type of questions
13. I keep dreaming about getting a Sam's Club membership and stock up on big bulk packages of toilet paper and paper towels but I googled it and nobody seems to think it's that great of a deal
    
14. I want to start couponing... I have space to do it now. Getting things for less money is such a fun challenge. 
15. oh my gosh a linen closet!!!
16. why those people put the fridge in the kitchen entryway is beyond me, but it has an ice maker!

It's late and I'm thinking my kids should be home soon. If my oldest would get home like he said he would, I could send him across the street to fetch the little two.

That worked out great, all are home and camped out in their rooms or on the couch. And I packed some more crap. The tubs I'm packing in are heavy.
