Thank you to everyone who called and emailed yesterday to check on my Dad.  Everything went great and he should be coming home today.

I’m so glad yesterday is over, but now I’m playing catch up for the day of work around here that I didn’t get to.  Today my day will be spent cleaning up after everyone, wrapping up the laundry, (which I am happy to report is just about done already), getting some stuff mailed and preparing dinner, and cleaning up the bathrooms.  Oddly enough the MAN BATHROOM is gross and my bathroom looks just fine.  Gee, I wonder why that is???  At any rate, I need to clean them…

Poor Ethan has a math test today and even up to this morning he was still having a bit of a hard time.  I worked with him on it last night and before school.  I hope it pays off.  Math is my Dad’s department and he wasn’t available yesterday, obviously.  I’m crossing my fingers that I was a good enough fill in for my Dad.  Another day or so and I think Ethan would have had it down no problem.  He he does poorly it’s both of our faults.  Ethan wasn’t good about getting the study guide done.  He pulled a “no I don’t have any homework” line so he could go over MiMi and PaPas and play Wii.  Apparently, in his opinion study guides aren’t homework because they don’t have to be turned back in.  On the other hand, I wasn’t all the available to him yesterday to help him with it like I would have been had I not had the other stuff going on.  So, cross your fingers…

I also have a goal to get a layout done today.  Tomorrow is the last day for the use your stash challenge I’m particpating in.  (Nothing like procrastinating.)  I’d really like to get something done and handed in.

I’m off to get crackin’ on my chores for the day and drop something in the crock pot for dinner.  No idea what, but I’ll come up with something.

Enjoy your Friday.  Personally, I’ve never been so happy to see one!
