Boxes,Blood Sugar and Bricks



OK- So after my "snow day", which was over by 2:00, Spring Break was in session! Woo Hoo! A week of rest and relaxation! WHAT!!! We have to WHAT!!! PACK!!!!!!!

I never knew mom and dad had so much junk (that we can do without for 2 and a half months while they finish the house.) The cats and I have been lucky to keep from getting boxed up.

Dad actually cleaned up the "outside" storage and now we have something called a car port where mom's truck can be parked and not get wet when it rains!

After 2 days of dodging the tape gun - I got to go to work with dad for a little while while mom went for her 3 hour sugar test. Fun fun fun... not really too bad I got to color and read and the ladies at the office picked at me. BTW- mom must have studied more for this one cause she found out today that she passed the test!

As the slide show shows, we now have brick going up on the house. Back porch looks pretty cool, can't wait to grill some burgers on it. In between trips to take boxes to the house, most of the time was spent at either Lowe's or Home Depot. I think I've slept more at Lowe's this week than in my bed at home. Who knew it takes 3 days (10 hours total)to pick out cabinets and counter tops - glad mom and dad KNEW what they wanted!

Dad's new "Having a baby, building a house, paying interest" diet is starting to pay off. After spending most of the week pulling his pants up he finally stepped on the scale. 23 pounds GONE in 3 months - just by cutting out expensive-hi-calorie lunches - of course the bout with the stomach bug really kick-started things. Can't wait to see what the "Buying Pampers, Furnishing House, and Mortgage Payment" diet will do!

I can't wait to get back to school! Sunday we are going to Amory to see Molly and Morgan it's Morgan's birthday (Monday) but we're having party Sunday. The cat in the slide show looks just like Honey Bun - a cat we gave to Morgan a long time ago. Must be his great-great-great-great grandson.
