Get 'R Done

The nice weather has prompted me to use up every ounce of daylight after work to get stuff done. Today's jobs: vacuum the filthy car, trim bushes and clean up brush, and string Christmas lights on the fence (because it is warm and it won't kill my hands). Mission accomplished on today's outdoor jobs. My to-do list still has items on it, however they will slowly but surely get crossed off =).

My big upcoming project is ebay. I like it, but I don't. I like getting rid of stuff and bringing in some extra ca$h, however it is like a 3rd job really. I said 3rd job because there's the regular job, homeschooling the girls, and then ebay is job #3 if you ask me. That doesn't even count housework and other little items that need to be done. Oh well, it's a good way to spend the evenings in the fall/winter anyway.

It's hard to believe, but it has been a year ago today that the Extreme Makeover crew came to the neighborhood. In some ways, it went really fast and in others it seems like ages ago. We are used to seeing that large house now. The other day, they little boy that they built the house for was going for a wheelchair ride with his older brother right by the house. He has a lot of physical ailments, but that is the happiest and most smiling kid I have ever seen...each and every time I see him. He's full of laughter!
Some other people in the neighborhood seem to be doing their own version of EMakeover. They have poured new sidewalks and are building dormers, putting on a new roof, putting in new windows. I am unsure as to the suddenness of it all since they have been in a constant state of constructions jobs uncompleted for the last 7 years, but we'll see hopefully a good outcome.
That's all for now. I think the girl's baths and bedtime are beckoning me followed by a look at my things that need to be finished.
For the record, I AM enjoying the burst of what I call Indian Summer. Yes, my windows are open!
