So much to tell ya!

First, I'll start with Cal. We took him back today to have his stitches removed. However, the doc didn't want to remove them because one spot did not look completely healed. We'll have to take him back in a couple of weeks, BUT he can go back outside. YES! I can sleep in my own bed and hopefully not be woke up in the middle of the night...several times. :)

Our home organizing is coming along. We purchased the second shelf for the classroom closet. It has made such a HUGE difference already. Everything that was in the closet has returned to the closet and I have even put some things that were in a bookcase in the closet. We purchased 16" shelves and it has made a remarkable difference. We have decided I need a third shelf, but only a three-foot one, rather than a six-foot one like the others. The three-foot shelf will house my sewing machine. I have agreed to let go of the desk I was keeping it on because it was in the middle of the room. I have to admit the room looks great without it. And with John's new rule of the classroom table has to be cleaned off each day I should have no problem with a place to put the sewing machine when I want it out.

I also reorganized the linen closet. I had recently worked on it, but a few weeks ago decided to donate a few things. Therefore, another reno was needed.

The girls are doing well with school work. Funny story: this morning at the vet's office the girls were doing some reading for school (we had a forty minute wait). An older gentleman came in and noticed the title of Jesse's book ("Franklin D. Roosevelt"). He told me he was impressed by the title for her age. I explained it was part of her history reading and he was happy with that. :) Most people in there just looked at us weird...probably wondering why they were not "in" school. LOL

The girls are counting down the days to my birthday. Before you say, "Aw, thats sweet." Hold that thought. They are couting down because that is one of the days for the next audition for CCT, for "Music Man Jr.". I still have not decided if I'm going to take them that day or the day before. I think we are leaning toward my birthday, so John can come to auditions. (Leaving work 1 1/2 hours early rather than 2 1/2 hours early sounds better.)

The great pool debate is continuing in our home. Last year we were going to get an above ground pool, then changed our minds. Now, John is convinced, again, it is a good idea. Not sure where we'll go from here. I'll keep ya posted.
