Jeanie...I'm speechless...I got nothing....so crazy, so unfair, such a statement of the condition of the world in which we live! Lesson here, spend spend spend...give it away, give it away...go broke or choke!!  Wow!  Sorry I've been out of the loop..this has been one of those weeks.  We got the boys all moved in on Saturday morning...oh my!  Then there was a party that night for parents, students and Murrayians.  Awesome!!   Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning I stripped beds, cleaned, moved furniture etc...and then Sunday around noon, the boys came in and destroyed my kitchen making pancakes, bacon, eggs and drinking all the juice and milk in the house.  Sunday afternoon Jerry and I went grocery shopping and I continued to clean...laundry...major amounts of bedding laundry!!   We've had the fence people here, the security people here, the barn people here, but no brick people.  The sand for the mortar is now suppose to come tomorrow...we're still in a holding pattern until the brick gets put on...limbo is killing me!! Yesterday I felt like for every step forward I took 2 backward.  I'd made a list of new bedding that I wanted to get...Penneys was having a big sale...got a bunch of stuff, tried it out and nothing was working..frustrating!  Then Jason called...he needed stuff from WalMart...$200 later I was out of WalMart, return most everything I'd gotten at Penneys and started over...at  10pm last night, I think I finally "finished"!  This morning, I've been cleaning again, touch up painting, removing screws from the window trim and filling in holes....I'm pooped.   I'm getting ready to shower, return some more stuff I bought at WalMart, buy some new stuff from Walmart and then come back to continue working.   Tomorrow night,  we have a fundraising dinner of some sort to attend, Friday I hope to have the brickers here, I'm still waiting on my new living room furniture that I ordered to get here so I can buy my rug and get my living room done....I'm just stuck in a rut that I can't control and it's making me not happy right now!!   I want to come to see Mom and Dad but it may be the weekend or next week...how long are you staying Judy?  til Friday or Saturday?   Sorry about Leisa and Bryan...I know she'll be ok...she's strong!  Ok, gotta hit it before it gets any later in the day...last night Jerry came home at like 6:30 for dinner and I was knee deep in the upstairs bedrooms...he emptied the dishwasher, made his own dinner and helped me with a couple of projects...I probably ought to cook tonight!! ha ha    ps..boys seem to love college life so far...the social part anyway...Love you all,  Jamie
