Anyways not too much to say as of late. Sunday as you all know was father's day so we had a nice day. Matt was pretty hungover, and actually still pretty drunk from Dan's bachelor party Saturday night. Tom and Nicole came over with little miss Penny, LOVE HER! and we had a nice dinner. I went to the meat market and I have to say of all the things to buy in bulk in order to save money, meat is number one on the list. The meat market up the street from us is great about that. You can buy a whole fillet or a whole NY strip and pay half or less and then they'll cut it to what ever size you want. The only downside was Colie picked up some nice corn on the cob and we decided to keep the house as cool as possible so we cooked everything on the grill, my silly self forgot to put the corn on first so the steaks got a little over done. I could have taken them off and just let the corn finish but I was afraid they would get cold and well there is nothing worse that cold beef. But it was still a nice dinner. NY Strip, corn on the cob, some smashed red potatoes, and a salad. Good stuff. Nicole made a super awesome desert too! She got some really great fresh strawberries from the farmer's market Sunday morning and then I picked up some vanilla pudding and or course there was whipped cream! Bean thought the whipped cream was the best part of course, though she got it as a bit of a treat in general since she slept through dinner.
She hasn't been doing so well with the whole napping plan since she's been home. Which I take most of the responsibility for. Since Matt doesn't get up until 10ish we don't generally go to bed before midnight, of course the little one is usually in bed way before then; sometimes not by much but I try for at latest 10pm. So our schedule is a little wacky, which during the week is fine but then on the weekend when we try to have dinner as a family at a slightly more reasonable hour it has a tendency to bite me. But I figure as long as the schedule works for all of us who cares. Besides if she were still getting up at her school usual of 6:30-7am that would mean I would be awake entirely too early ;-)
Though we may have to get back to a schedule more like that, or at least I will. I have to find a job of some sort. Even if it's just up at Stewart's up the street in the morning. Something to bring a little extra cash into the house. I did put resumes out a little over a week ago, that's on my to do list for this afternoon is to do some follow up calls and see if anyone is willing to let me come in for an interview. thank goodness I don't have to worry about interview clothes thanks to my Aunt Julie. she sent me five boxes full of clothes a couple months ago. Actually it reminds me that I still have some things I went through in the attic that I need to take over to goodwill. Maybe that will be the plan for tomorrow. Go through some more clothes and take things to goodwill. I have a bunch of Tori's stuff that I'm not quite sure what to do with either. I mean I'd like to hold on to it for child number two in the event it's a girl but in the same I don't know that I want to hold on to that stuff that much longer. And some of it I could clean up and give to Tome and Cole for my little Penelope but in the same I know they don't have a ton of storage space either so I don't want to clutter up their apartment.
Speaking of clutter, how exactly does one go through the clutter? For example I have boxes and boxes of stuff, just stuff, in the attic that really NEEDS to be gone through but in the same I constantly find myself saying "Oh yea I still have one of those, it's upstairs." So I go upstairs and rummage through some things and voila! there its is. So is it really safe to go through all those boxes of stuff also, I have quite a lot in the way of papers; important papers, bills, receipts, things of that nature. What do I do with all that. I mean none of it is truly relevant right now but in the same what happens in six months from now when I go up there to look for something only to realize I threw it out. That would make me SOOOO mad.
I guess what I really need to do is just down size. Anything more than, whats the audit line 7 years, so anything older than that can get tossed. Plus I know there are papers from school and crap like that that can get tossed. Maybe that will be my project while this weekend while Matt finishes up the Jeep, or the rear brakes on my car, or the brakes on Joe's car.... and the list of his car projects goes onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.... I think you get my drift.
Ok so plan for the rest of the week...
- Resume call backs
- Sort through clothes and take not fitting/never going to fit again stuff to goodwill
- Go through boxes of papers and toss anything older than 7 years, or crap I know I won't need again
- Go through the toys and other stuff in the attic, sort out what's what and toss the non needed; or donate/give away whatever I don't want
- Local job applications...
Well I guess I have my work cut out for me then.
