And we're off.....again

Well now that weddings, birthday parties, and family gatherings are done with its vacation time. Levi and I are leaving for Elkhart, KS (by way of San Angelo) tomorrow. We'll spend a couple of days in San Angelo and then drive up to Elkhart where Levi's grandmother lives. We'll stay there a few more days, though we aren't sure how many. Levi will be helping some family friends farm and I will hopefully be able to help them move into a new house. Then we will come back through San Angelo on the way home. That still leaves us with another weekend of "vacay" that we feel we must fill up but we don't know what yet. Should be fun!

So...

I have been super organized the past 3 days. I made myself a detailed schedule of my days down to the half hour. I managed to do a tiny bit of shopping (2 shirts for $11), go grocery shopping, clean my house top to bottom (although some of the bottom was done last week), continue my quest to rid my flower beds of clover (lucky, my bum!) and even had time to do a little sewing. I made some uber (that's for you Mom) cute Bermuda shorts from some pants that I never wore. This all may not sound like much to you but for me it has been quite an accomplishment. Usually when Levi is on a trip I have no motivation to do anything. To be quite honest, I usually sit around and read or watch TV. Maybe one of those days I will plan to clean the entire house but by the time I've done a small part of it I'm ready to quit....so I do. But not this time! I split it up into different days and scheduled breaks. By this afternoon, my whole list was finished. Well, except for the clover. My allergies only allow me to stay out digging in the dirt for about an hour (which is how the clover got so bad in the first place). Maybe I'll work on that some in the morning when it's only 85 degrees instead of 95 with lots of humidity and no wind. Anyway, I love the feeling of a productive weekend....and a clean house. And to make things even better, Levi called and said that he doesn't have to fly his last turn tomorrow so he will be home early! I feel a long overdue "date night" coming on. Hope you all have a blessed week!
