Friday Night Leftovers 7-30

• Why is it still that the girls saying "no" and us saying "no" have completely different meanings to them?


• I sort of kept it a secret (not on purpose, there's just been a lot going on and my memory left, oh about 16 months ago) but I set up a little photo-shoot for the girls tomorrow morning. Figuring with them starting "school" and heading into hopefully the busy season at work, we probably won't get around to doing pictures until the holidays after tomorrow's deal. Just told hubby about it last night. Whoops.


• Talk about having fun - tonight I'll be cleaning up around the house and hubby gets to tackle the jungle outside. Literally, our front yard is almost beyond help. Not so much the actual grass, the the insane weeds that are growing along the huge drainage ditch in the front. Got to love living at the bottom of a hill.


• I'm used to it as it gets insanely hot and humid every stupid summer in STL, but enough. Can we have just one day in the mid-seventies or something? Today's high is "only" 87 and that's due to rain - which isn't going to help the grass-cutting that has to be done tonight before pictures. As much as I love golf (eh.........) playing in 105 heat index is getting old. Yeah, poor me, I'm whining about playing golf.


• Neither I or hubby can remember the last time either of us had a haircut. That needs to be fixed but finding the time is a challenge. Most times, by the time the girls are asleep, I have no motivation to go.


• Lesson learned. I bought two little storage boxes and spent the other night sorting all of the girls' holiday and birthday cards for each of them. Very happy to free up a desk drawer and it was all nice and organized. Forgot to shut our bedroom door and the girls quickly decided I needed to do all of that again. Boxes empty, cards all over the floor. Thanks, kiddos.
