What Great Timing!

I've been working on reorganizing since the boys are over the flu and back in school. After getting Chris tested for mono on Tuesday, since he was sleeping so much I looked it up online. He seemed to have most of the symptoms. He must not have mono, though, because the lab didn't call me back to tell me he does.
I talked to both of Chris' school counselors and they told me they would try to work with his teachers so he would have time to finish all the work he's been missing. I'm really proud of him, now, because he's getting a lot of it done. He's starting to get back into the normal routine of going to bed at a decent hour, too.
Getting them back in school gave me the chance to go through their rooms to try to make sense of them again.
I know. I say every time they mess up their rooms that I'm not going to clean them again, but they get so bad I just can't stand it anymore.
Chris' bed had been broken for a long time, anyway, so I spent most of the morning trying to fix it. The foot board was so stripped, though, that when I thought I had it fixed, I moved the bed again, and it broke.
I was so frustrated...but Dad came over to tell me I need to get the boys to rake the leaves....and it was just the right time for him to get here...right when that dumb bed wouldn't stay fixed. He went right home and pulled out a head board and foot board for the same size bed. And those had been right in his own garage the whole time! I'm glad he saves everything.
I'm just waiting for him to bring over some slats to hold the springs up. The ones just lying under the bed were an inch too short and wouldn't do. In the meantime, I've rearranged everything in Chris' room and he's probably going to be annoyed.
Z came over three times this week. He sure livens things up. He's so little, but did his best trying to help me move things around. Chris is really good with him, too, because they both like playing with his toy guns and light sabers. I just wish it didn't get dark so early now, so they could do more playing outside.

Another three-day weekend. They sure don't seem to have school much in November. Monday is another teacher's meeting.

I guess I should take the stuff to the recycle bins, now, before the kids get home.

You are doing a good job with using your time wisely-- now if I could just get my niece to do the same thing.

Hi Firecracker...I'm not sure I could say I use time wisely most of the time, but once in awhile, I get these hyperactive urges to just take things to the limit and get as much as I can done.
It's always great to see you!
