Well, I guess I'd better cover a couple of days here. Today (Thursday) we cleaned. And cleaned. And cleaned.

Sydni... well, she paid so much attention to detail that it took her a LONG time to clean two rooms, the bathroom, and the pantry. She did a good job though. A really, REALLY good job. Though she did rearrange my pantry, and that kind of messed up the system I already had in place. Sigh. Oh well.
Oddly though... it only looks OK. Well, to me. I also made Oatmeal raisin cookies, and out of the five times I've made them, they've only turned out right twice... and tonight was one of those times, yay!
All of this because we may be having guests tomorrow night, hopefully they can stay the weekend. I tried to get a sleeper sofa off Freecycle today, but I wasn't quick enough. Darn.
And Becca and I got into it, and she told me to Shut up. I about lost it. Well... I DID lose it. I could not think of what to do or say, so I just started yelling. "Shut up? SHUT UP?" Jerry was really mad at me at first, because he thought I was telling the kids to shut up. He probably saved me, because honestly, I did not know what to do, and I'd have probably gone on something of a rampage...well, I don't know, honestly. That kid though. At 13, she thinks she can say anything she darn well wants to me, and this was one of those days I'd about had it with her attitude.
I think that's all I'll say about that. I've already talked about it enough for one day. I WAS shaking though.

Yesterday was pretty cool though. Sammi and I played fetch with Paula in the house down the hallway with a tennis ball. That was fun. Poor Sammi though, she was throwing up cereal. We think maybe it had sour milk or something. So I'd put her to bed, and she threw up, so Jerry brought her downstairs, and I watched her for quite a few hours, and she seemed okay. At midnight, we watched Barney on PBS Kids Sprout, and I put her to bed shortly before 1 a.m. She was pretty happy to go to bed. She'd had a REALLY late nap, so I'm not too surprised at how late she stayed up... and she's an Energizer bunny too. Though she's been known to go to sleep on her own at times.

I'm pretty crazy tired, so I'm just going to post some pictures from yesterday... hopefully the ones of the dog look good... think I had it set on macro by accident. Looks like they might be all right. I've GOT to learn how to format this darn thing... oh wait, I see a post options, maybe I should click on that... nope, no help. Darn
