The last week...

here..

I decided since this is my last week here I will take back over cooking and cleaning. I have not done it since winter break and then mac had her surgery. So it has been 3 weeks.

I started off this morning getting the kids off to school. They were not all that happy because everyone had to be out the door on time and there was no watching TV. Then I stirred up some rolls and put on a load of wash. While that was going I got the ladder and washed the outside windows. It had not been done since I first got here. I still need to finish some of the inside ones.

Yesterday I got all of my clothes packed and ready to mail home. And it is not just clothes. I have acquired a lot of stuff since I got here. Normally it would be cheaper to just put it in suit cases and take it on the plane. southwest gives me 2 bags free. BUT southwest only goes to Tulsa. We are all to old to drive to Tulsa and home  (8 hours) just to pick me up. I think George would just leave me there. So I fly Allegiant. It cost me 70 to get to PHX and 55 to get on to Springfield. But that is with no bags. If I took 2 bags and paid from here to PHX and then on to Springfield it would be 160.00. So I am shipping it. Plus that would only be 80 pounds...incl the suitcase weight and I have over that..But thank goodness USPS had those 13$ boxes that you can ship up to 70 pounds in...I am sure I have 40 pounds in one and about that in another one.
I don't even know what all is in there by now but they are full....3 of them to be exact and a tote of clothes...It is worth it. Kris bought me a pair of Muck boots that are  about $100 that alone will pay for all the shipping...and I will wear them..

Well, on with my day I promised Amanda and Jake I would bring them lunch at 11:30 so I have to get with it...Kitchen, vacuuming, laundry moping and more windows...plus supper and rolls to finish..You can tell I feel good today.
yesterday was the first day I have had since NOV that I was not still sick...Arkansas and armadillos and wasps....look out I am almost home.....

I added to mama's blog entry. u did a good job.

I asked about Coyla, but no one I asked knew the why.

When I asked Robert about his day today, he said he had to go to a different class because his teacher went to a funeral for another teacher. then he said not another teacher, but someone. Then he further explained that all the teachers went to the funeral. It waa some really old woman who was in an accident and was in a wheelchair. He said really really old.

Sisters, sorry I let you down on Momma's post.
I got really sad thinking of most of her life with
Only a dress or maybe two and never but one
Pair of wore out shoes!

Helen I hope the smiths will hold on to the memory of
Grandma cooking rolls and cleaning and not the 3
Weeks she acted "bitchy"!!
