ZZZZZzzzz.

Beyond tired. Between my all night nurser and my insomnia there was no sleep for me. I spent the whole night being pissy with Mark for not cleaning up the dinner dishes and for not putting the lid on my cornbread muffins and drying them out. It that a total chick thing to do or what? Still... I could go on.

Today I started the day feeling very homeschooley unschooley with a trip to the shoe repair shop, and a trip to the hardware store to make keys. The kids love watching "worker guys." Its their passion. heh. We also went to Children's Orchard and got a fireman costume for Will and a bumble bee costume for Jack. They also got new suits for Christmas, and TIES. They are pumped.

We've started digging out for our herb/rain garden. Will dug all day yesterday - and loved talking about what we will plant and where.

But I am ending the day counting down bedtime. Neighbor kids are here now, and soon bath and the whole bedtime routing.

We had the structural engineer come and are happy to learn out house is not falling down. No structural issues at all, whew. So now I am awaiting a quote from the contractor on what its going to cost to re-vamp our basement. Too much, I am sure.

I hope I can sleep tonight.

I bought two pairs of dream shoes:

and

But I am returning them both. Instead I took my old Clark's to the shoe repair shop and although the heels and soles are beyone repair, he's sprucing up the leather so at least they will look good. They are very comfortable.

OH shoes! I love shoes! Sorry your Earth's didn't work out.

Basement! Our house just appraised for $40,000 more than it did three years ago. So, guess what? We get to re-remodel the basement. I'm guessing we'll do this again after that one day too:) You know us! Anyway. Remind me to show you my new floor plan. Hopefully, it won't really "cost" anthing more than the flooring....Ted thinks he can move all the walls I want moved, no sweat. Well, a little sweat. There's always sweat:) Now the question is whether or not to wait until Tucker moves into a dorm. The "band" takes up a LOT of floor space, and their "snacking" is HELL on the cleanliness of it all. Boys.
