Tuesday.. Updated....

I have a busy day set for Tuesday. Kris works early so I will need to get all of the kids off to school.
I have a house to clean because Kris was home all day and I hardly stuck my nose in.
I am hoping to finish a nice project for kenzie. I went to Lowell's this morning and bought a piece of white peg board. In mac's room. He has a wall 23" X 8 ' tall in the corner of her room. Her entertainment center sits about 2 foot from the wall. That is where she piled her shoes...Piled...Thigh high to me. She has several pair of very nice boots and shoes I have bought for her...Most came from Ross. These are 120. dollar boots that I may have gotten clearanced for 25...And several pair of other very expensive TYPE shoes...Kenzie is VERY flat footed!
So I screw a white peg board 23" X 8' and used small peg board hooks...I then took white plastic clothes pens that had a hole in the ends. I tied pretty ribbon in the pens holes and hooked 2 of them together with about an 8" piece of ribbon and clipped them to the top of her boots and shoes and hung them in the pegs...This worked great. I thought the boots and shoes might be too heavy to be held by the clothes pens but no it worked...Also the clothes pens do not seem to be scaring the shoes..

Problem is I need the short little peg paid hooks...Lowell's only had big ones...I took 6 out of Darrel's garage that were empty but I need to replace. Then I need at least 2o more...The closest harbor freight is 40 miles away..
.Because she has another wall and she wants the other 25" off the 4' piece sheet, left over, put over there to hang her hair blowers, curling irons, straighteners and anything else she can hook. This will help de clutter her room.As soon as I get home I am installing it on a wall over my bedroom doors to hang pursers and such...I also an installing crown molding on the wall to hang my heals on. I have been looking at all sorts of ideas about building around a trailer with wood I think it is just like attaching ceder siding around it so it looks more like a home and adding a Real door...now George will say...better ask JR.. I am more of do it....apology and ask forgiveness..a real  door. will be a god send...
I have also decided when I get back Since Jr has a new washer and dryer. He needs a maid...Cleaning, washing, ironing. Maybe a meal when I know he is coming home...Ya see I intend to steal water and electric from him...and although I will pay him for that It will be hard for me to tell. I imagine I will shorten him so maybe this will work out more even...
Now Betty...Jr is not the type to not want me cleaning for him. We are a lot more open and intrusive that you are with your family...Every morning I mosied over to Fleets...I may wash clothes, make beds..clean or mop a little...Fleta does not care...Also she never gripes about how it is done..This takes me about 30 minutes incl helping getting the kids off to school. Other than the laundry,,,That is sort of come back in 45 minutes to do 5 more minutes of work...The walk will do me really good!
I think I will find a Mexican that is handy and get him to help I am sure there is at least one that needs work from a nice old lady that shows him some respect!.  I know George could do it but I really like to be boss...
Also Darrel sewed grass this weekend...Just threw it out on bare ground...Pat I have a purpose for that old  chicken straw! Guess what it is almost 11pm and I am going to move it now..
I posted this last night and when it posted there were large double spaces between the lines. I took all spaces out this AM now they will probably be all run together.

It is about 9 ...I have vacuumed the house, cleaned the kitchen, none 2 loads of clothes for Darrel and have Kris's clothes going...One load, she has 2 , Cleaned off the table and put on a clean table cloth...got all kids off to school cause Kris had to leave at 6:30..
Last night I picked Kenzie up from the driving class and we drove in the dark for 1 hour,,,She did pretty good but we did not stay on a busy road but a few feet at a time ...then we turned,,

Plus, Darrel had the kids throw grass seed out on the ground...Nothing covering it just grass seed. this was Sunday. I told him grass seed will never grow on bare ground unless you cover it or rake it in...Yesterday he came home with a clean new bale of straw...  I was just telling Pat a few days ago that we used to use hay in the chicken pen and I would clean out the pen and scatter it in the very back yard...It turned to mulch pretty quick...Then when I came this time Darrel bought straw, well I was trying the same thing with that but the stuff I spread out the 1st of DEC, was still on the ground looking golden and fresh,,,,Plus all of it I have spread since which is a bale and a half,,,So instead of using the new straw to cover the seed...last night at 11:00 ...I decided to go out and rake up a few wheel barrel loads of that old scattered straw and see how it worked. I raked 3 loads in like 10 minutes and spread it on the seed.  That only did bout 1/5 th of the ground ....so today I am raking the rest to cover the rest of the seed...Plus clean out the chicken pen since we have new straw.

Well as you can tell I am feeling pretty good today...

That hay will help the grass come up. Should I walk over to Laura's and make her bed? NOT! She would die! But Erin may want me to drive to Harrison and clean up.

It is good that you enjoy helping out with your family. I guess I am just lazy...now you know the entire story.
