Weeks are flying by

Well its been a while since I've updated. I know, no Amazing Race or anything! Oh well. What have I been up to? First and foremost, trying to put this house into some semblance of order. Which, I am discovering, is a much more difficult task than even I had imagined. Those of you that have owned homes have some inkling of what I am talking about, I am sure. It is difficult though, because it isn't as though i moved into an empty house. So trying to find room for all of our stuff, along with all the stuff that is already here, is a fairly difficult task. (And considering the size of the house, well, you can just imagine.)

Anyway, the way things have pretty much been going is I clean out one room, moving everything into other rooms, which then causes those rooms to need cleaning out. However, I am trying my darndest to keep moving in one direction. (Once I get a room cleaned out, I don't move anything back into it.)

Originally, I tried to just make all the rooms presentable. But there is just too much damn stuff.

I finally got one of the bedrooms compleatly cleared out upstairs, so I am moving all of by brother's and sister's things into that room. Hopefully it will all fit. (They also have a bunch of stuff in the garage that may eventually get moved up into that bedroom so we have more room in the garage so that maybe things like the tool kit can live there instead of on the floor in the family room. Sigh. see what I mean?) My dad's stuff is all being moved into the den.

You may ask, "why don't you just call the fam-damily and tell them to get their stuff?" Well, suffice it to say that my brother and sister just aren't in a position to come and get their stuff and bring it anywhere. And I am not comfortable with just throwing it out. But I do need them to come and look through it and make sure it isn't all crap (which it probably is) and decide what they truly want to keep. At some point they'll have to get it (particularly is I ever decide to have children, they might enjoy having a bedroom of their own).

Ahem...(let me repeat...) eventually THEY"ll HAVE TO COME AND GET IT...hint, hint.....

Other than that, lets see, I went and picked up my teachers manuals so I could start to look through them. We spend like four weeks on addition. One page in the science book consists of, "The wind can blow hard. It can blow a windmill to make electricity. The wind can be very strong." And the first two weeks are a review of the letters of the alphabet! Life is grand.

Well, thats is for now. I think I'll do summary of the last few episodes of Amazing Race (my view of the teams, a little commentary on the plot, nothing too deep.) And maybe some Big Brother assessment. We shall see.

Mostly, I want to get working in the Living room before it gets too hot.
