Still Here

Well, we are still in Ft. Pierce. Hopefully only another day or two. My sweetie is home by himself and lonely. He only has the cat for company, and any that know him realize this is not his kind of company. Kids have been doing their schoolwork while we have been away and constantly complaining. I have read at least 5 novels since arriving and have started this blog. There's not much for us to do in a retirement community. I better enjoy it though, because as soon as I get home, the work begins. I'm thinking of starting in Emily's room. It will take the least work, mostly getting rid of tons of junk she has accumulated. A good coat of paint and redecorating will do wonders. No major construction in her room, except for some reason she thinks she needs a door. I don't know what gave her the idea that she should have privacy in OUR house. Will also start working on a budget when I return. Has been ages since I have lived on a budget, but with the economy, raised insurance deductibles and two driving teenage girls constantly on the go, the BOD (Bank of Dad) has started setting limits. We'll see how it goes and will keep you updated on the chaos that is sure to follow.
