I didn't feel well at all yesterday when I woke up and so we didn't go to church. I sent Bob over there with the Sunday School book and an apology. I wonder if the teens did the "worship" again this week. I'm getting pretty tired of it. Maybe that sounds grumpy, but it's not the kind of worship service I care to attend.
By afternoon I was feeling somewhat better. I was supposed to go to a baby shower, but I was pretty dragged out and not presentable at all.
Instead I worked on painting the house a bit. Maybe we can get a pic up here. It's about half painted yellow now. It will probably need another coat, but we'll do that in the spring. I was just so worried about going another winter with peeling paint. I really felt like it was going to harm the siding. So, now it's got a coat of primer and a coat of yellow paint, so that should be good protection. I LOVE the color. While Bob paints (or both of us), people that walk by tend to give good feedback. :-) That's encouraging! (And also, a little frightening - how bad must it have looked! lol)
David went to a laser tag birthday party yesterday and he ADORED it. We are considering a combination party for David and James in December doing laser tag. I missed their half-birthday celebrations this summer, so they never got a party at all. Neither did Suzy. It was just so hard to get them scheduled when I didn't know what would be happening with work - would I work a Saturday? Would I be laid off? Where could we do a party on a Sunday that wouldn't be crowded? So, I procrastinated too long and then it was closer to their next birthdays. Sigh.
Today I woke up with a huge sinus headache. I took some kind of meds that Bob gave me and 2 cups of coffee later I'm still a bit headachy. I need food.
I also need to buy groceries. David wants to buy some duct tape for a project he is making. (See my Cornerstone blog for a sneak peek.) Bob thinks we may need to get more paint.
Our furnace is still not running. Bob is kind of stumped. That's not a good thing.
The dryer is also broken. It needs a part we can't get. Bob must improvise or trash it, I think.
I am thinking I want to get the second disk of The Tudors.

A furnace and a dryer that are broken. Not good. However, they ARE sitting in a prettily-painted yellow house, that should count for something!! Love, Mom
My guess is that second hand stoves, fridges, washers, dryers and the like are probably plentiful as people are stripping their houses before the bank takes over the house. We had a house a couple of blocks over that has been for sale for 1 1/2 years (the people moved out the end of the 2006/2007 school year). They just came back and took EVERYTHING out of it last weekend so I'm assuming it's going into foreclosure. My point being, then they sell the stuff they take out. These people kept their price WAY too high all this time BTW.
