We had a grand time yesterday even though Tab and I were the only parental units that took the kids. The men stayed home this year. I ended up driving the truck and Tab was by herself in the back keeping the kids away from the edge when we traveled different areas of hte town to get to the good neighborhoods! We only stayed out till 8 pm and only hit a 1/3 of the town but the kids made out like bandits! To the point their bags were literally busting open! (Pictures to come later-like normal)
The house was completely bombed today and now I am in the middle of a smoke break. We are starting upstairs with the cleaning and vaccuming! Tons of dead Japaness beatles (some folks call them asian beatles), boxelder bugs (I called them Harries growing up!), and spiders to be vaccumed up. This should also completely clean out what ever lil Head Lice decieded that the bug spray wasn't going to kill them.
The plan of action for this long weekend of the kids being home is to clean up from bombing the house, take DeLaney to her orthodonist appotment tomorrow, rent a carpet cleaner, steam clean the rugs, and then FINALLY get to the family Samhain ritual! Thank Anu that the Gods are very understanding about how busy and stressed out I have been!
I also need to give our Taekowndo Insturctor a call. He finally got worried about us! I have to explain that I just got overwhelemed being the only parent home and October being such a busy month for us! He is wanting the kids to still test and just give us some private lessons (free of charge) to get them ready for Nov. 10th. I am giong to ask him if we can NOT do that and just work on the form we need and skip this testing. The start of next week is when we will ALL go back to taekowndo and I will start hitting the gym at full capacity!
When I am done basically fall cleaning the house this weekend, we will be ready for Thanksgiving and I can purchase the rest of the items I need to do my cooking for Thanksgiving. Randy won't be home till the day before Thanksgiving and Tab and Joe, stepped up to the plate and talked to Randy about how I feel guilty leaving the kids home for a weekend while I go down to the job site to see him. The CEO of the Aussie Company told the Main Project Manager to take Randy and I out to the one and only 4 star restaruant when I come done as a Thank You to both of us. Randy for not bailing on the project and helping in areas and reengeneering things when he didn't have to and for me to say Thanks for having Randy gone for so long! I can't take the kids down with me no babysitter! So Randy talked me into going down in the next two weekends before Thanksgiving and into buying myself a classy outfit. I didn't realize that this restaurant was the only 4 or 5 Starred place in NE! I figured Lincoln or Omaha had classier ones but I was wrong! My dad even got after me and said that it isn't going to hurt the kids to stay home while I go down for a weekend! Joe and Tab will keep the kids and I will leave them my Cell Phone so we can call them. I just need to deciede what weekend I will be going down!
Okay I am off. I have to finish cleaning out my closet and then vaccum DeLaney's room, go in and finish helping Coltin and then we have to all hit the kids' tv room and computer room! Then go down stairs start laundry, scub the bathroom, vaccum the living room and dinning room, and then once laundry is all done I can scrub the kitchen. We will be going out for dinner tonight since the kitchen won't be gotten to till tomorrow!
