Everything works out in the end...
My drivers license, a $20 bill and a High School activities pass were missing since Friday night, when I took them to the high school football game. I'd searched the entire house, the car, and every pair of black pants I owned looking for the damn things. Hubby just found them a few minutes ago. In the pocket of my tan pants. *headdesk*
Outdoor house projects are nearly finished. Hubby's cousin, who did the work in our basement last winter, is coming on Wednesday to paint the upper story of the front of the house. I could do it, but I'd have to stand on a very steep roof and I'm not all that excited to do it. The lower portion of the house as well as the two garages are all done, though. It looks much nicer. I need to put another coat of stain on the deck in the back where it's worn off, but that's a very quick job. We don't have very many trees in our yard, but the maple in front still hasn't dropped many of its leaves, so I'm not going to rake yet. I am very thankful that we've been having such nice weather and I have been able to get so much done.
I have managed to stay spoiler free for DH, primarily due to being in a self-imposed news vacuum. I really hate the American political system sometimes, and this is one of those times. The ads on television are ridiculous, and it infuriates me to know that there are plenty of idiots who hear these negative ads and actually believe them. We have an interesting governors race here in Minnesota that features an extreme Conservative, an extreme Liberal, and an Independent candidate who is a former Republican who has positioned himself as a moderate. They are all running pretty close because it is nearly a perfect reflection of the diverse politics of our state. But to listen to the political ads? You'd think they all went home at night and kicked puppies or something heinous like that.
I've now had a cold for nearly three weeks. It is very irritating. No fever, no sign of sinus infection or anything, just a stupid virus.
The kids have two days off of school this week. We may end up taking Daughter to see a nearby college. She's totally not ready to start interviewing or anything, but we thought it might be good for her to stick her toe in the water, so to speak. Geez, they grow up fast!
On that note, I'm old and must go to bed now. G'night!
