While the husbands away...

I don't know why but when Joe is out of town I get so much done. He went up to a cubs game with his friend Brad Mason. They got free tickets, great seats. Lucky ducks.
I re arranged the boys room. We now no longer have bunk beds, but two beds in their room. I painted the closet and took the doors off and put Andrews dresser inside. While at wal mart today I found (on clearance-my heart rejoiced!) a boys bedding line with madras plaid and everything that matched it. So I got canvas totes for the closet and bedding. I made a valance from a set of shams too! Andrew even got one of those tents for the bed. He is so stoked about it."I am so lucky Mom" "Don't tell Dad where I am tonight". Aaron even likes it. Now to keep it clean.
After I got the kids to bed I finished the laundry(a day late I might add) and cleaned the carpets. They were quite gross. Maybe they will stay semi clean for a few days before the lovely dark spots reappear. Could be worse.
BTW I cleaned the office out this morning! hee hee

Ouch!

I got my crown yesterday, I wish it was on my head and not on my tooth. I also had a cavity filled at the same time. It has been a while since I have had dental work done. Ouch. It still hurts today, hurts the pocketbook too. It could be worse, at least we have dental insurance, and I still have teeth!
Joe's big brother gave us a weight set when they moved so we have been lifting on that. Ouch, sore muscles. I am sure we will be buff the next time you see us Reeds!
On a more serious note, please pray for our friends the Watts. Their new baby girl, Jessa, they are adopting from China was moved to an orphanage yesterday and she is very sad. She has always lived with a foster family and knows nothing else, she is 16months old, I think. How sad for Jessa and for the Watts too.
Aaron's appointment is tomorrow too.
