Staying home

I am staying home today. All day. Unless I decide to run out to a sewing school that's going out of business and having a massive sale. Which is VERY tempting. Sewing supplies for $1 is what the Craig's list ad said. I may not be able to resist!

As I told those of you on Facebook, I was home for a total of 47 minutes yesterday. After chapel and prayer group at the girls' school, I ran to the post office, which is right by my mom's house. (They are home again--hooray, hooray, hooray!)

The post office doesn't have a bathroom, which I desperately needed, so I stopped by to use hers and stayed for the next five hours.

My sister and her family are leaving for New York--MOVING to NY--on Monday. And there was lots of packing still to be done. (They've been living at Mom and Dad's while my parents have been touring the leaves in New England for the past eight or nine weeks.)

Anyway, there were boxes to be packed and clothes--grown out of and to be grown into--to be sorted and so I stayed. (My back is certainly feeling it this morning after carrying some big and heavy boxes up the stairs that I should have left for a man! I need some Advil.)

Anyone out there live near Rye, New York? If so, I have someone for you to meet. You'll love her, I promise!

For some crazy reason, my whole family was up and out of bed by six o'clock this morning. Emma brought me a plate of toast and said, "Happy I Love You Day, Mom!" It was store bread and had so much Brummel & Brown slathered on it. But I ate it anyway and loved every bite. Sort of. 

Reminded me of making instant coffee for my mother once--hot water and about six heaping spoonfuls of coffee. She drank it. At least I think she did.

Have a great Friday!

Hope you have a wonderful day at home. I know you're sad Kristen is moving. Sure wish I lived close enough to meet her!

Happy Weekend, friend.

How are you doing with Kristen leaving?? Hugs from Ohio! (which is closer to NY than CO but still a bit far...)

I wish this morning would have worked out. It was an interesting sale. I was able to get some beautiful fabrics, but there was a lot of junk. It was too hard with both boys to be able to really look through it all and find buried treasures. I can't say as I'd think it would be worth going to tomorrow. Would have like to have seen you though!!!
