Back to school time
So the kiddies go back tomarrow. Had them up a 6 am so they would be good and tired. It didn't work. They are still to excited to sleep. My son is right now singing his ABC's at the top of his lungs and my daughter is screaming at him to be quiet. Poor mom is about to pull her hair out and dad is sleeping through it all! Luckey him. This will be the first time in 8 years that I will have the place to myself. I don't know whether to cry or throw a party. Wish me luck, gonna be a long night me thinks!

Well things went pretty smoothly this morning. I thought I would have two little demons to contend with after their late nite. To my surprise they were very willing and ready to go. I was worried my son would freak seeing as he has been attached to my hip for the past 5 years. He got on the bus and didn't look back. Well now that I have all this free time gonna do some major rearranging and cleanup.

The main thing I am doing is going thru their rooms and cleaning them out. I have been trying to get rid of toys forever but they manage to work back into their rooms. They both have 3 large toy boxs and those are overflowing to everywhere in the house. Aghh I even have toys in my room and it's driving me nuts. The plan is to get it down to what will fit in the box's with no other toys thru out the house. Yes my kids are spoiled but I love em that way! I am trying to get them to take responsibily for their own mess and keep it clean but need to lighten the load. Some of the stuff I am finding I forgot they had so they wont miss it. I am also getting back into reading which I love but havn't been able to do in ages. I am one of those people who can sit down and read a 500 page novel in day. I would rather sit in silence and read a good book than watch tv. Anyways yesterday was cool. Got the worst of the two rooms (my daughters) done. Today will do my sons. His isn't as bad but has alot of toys broken or missing parts that have to go. Trying to get all of this done so I can concentrate on the new tank build. I will set up a blog for that one. Can't wait!
