Labor Day Weekend...

I have so been looking forward to Labor Day weekend. It meant that I had 4 days off and had a long "to do" list of things I wanted to get done. Some things were fun things and some were just things that had to be done. I don't know if anyone feels this way...but I just don't seem to have enough hours in a day or days in a week to get everything done that I want to get done.

So Friday...Ashlee and I spent the day together. We got mani's and pedi's, went to UMD and she gave me a quick tour and then went to lunch at Old Chicago Pizza. We rarely have the same day off and now with school starting I will not see her much at all. We had fun and I am glad we got to spend the time together.

Saturday...Butch got up early and went fishing. I did some things in my office and when he got back we started the huge project that we have been putting off...cleaning out Matt's room. I cleaned his closet out and combined a lot of "stuff" in bins for Matt to go thru someday. We switched the furniture around and moved the bed back into his room so we have a room for someone to stay but it is also our "workout" room...LOL!!! We seriously have the treadmill in there and Lexi uses it on a daily basis and I have started to use it again. I think now that the room is all cleaned up maybe I will want to go in there more and walk on that dreaded treadmill.

So after all of that we continued on some other projects and moving some other furniture around downstairs and then finally decided we had done enough for the day...we actually got a lot done. We decided to order pizza from Shamrock...yummy and we ordered the movie "17 Again" on PPV!! Good movie!

Sunday...So I have this HUGE pile of photo albums and boxes upon boxes of pictures stored under the table in my office. I have been trying to get at these and get them organized and out from under the table. So Sunday morning I decided that I would move all of the photo albums to the top shelf in my office and then start on sorting thru all of the pics. One thing that was not on my "to do" list was the mishap that was about to happen...Well as I was standing on the top step of the stool and putting the last photo album on the shelf...this ceiling fan blade came out of left field and hit me in the back of the head...Owie...not one of my smartest moves! Butch was sitting in the living room and said he heard a loud thud and then I started yelling. Thank god it pushed me forward enough that I only got hit once but that it didn't hit me hard enough to knock me off the stool. Well Dr. Butch came in and started to assess the situation and decided that I needed to sit down and take it easy for a while. He got me some ibuprofen and looked at my head and said it was bleeding. Well needless to say...I didn't get much done that day. I sat on the couch and took it easy all day. I now have a lump on the back of my head and my neck still hurts.

My hot tip of the day....be sure your ceiling fans are OFF when you are standing on step stools!!!

Monday...Butch got up early again and went fishing and I got started on my "to do" list. I got my halloween cards done for stamp club and even made extras. I even got started on my Christmas cards. Lexi and Ashlee went to visit Gene for a couple of hours and then Butch met up with them and brought Lexi home and Ashlee went to UMD to get her books and her parking pass. Lexi came home and Butch went and did the grocery shopping. We watched hours of the "Cake Boss" on tv...LOVE this show and cooked dinner on the grill and then did a quick vacuuming, dusting and getting ready for the new week.

So that was our weekend...
