A posting we will go...

Post #2-
As my immediate family knows we are always working on the house or building/fabricating "something" from scratch. Right now the current project is a total remodel of the boys rooms. This, of course, includes new wiring, insulation, sheetrock, paint, carpet, trim, doors, lighting fixtures, etc. Yeah, it all adds up.....Financially and but also in the amount of work that goes into each and every stage of the re-do. I don't know why I'm so forgetful from prior projects but there are so-o-o-o-o-ooo many tedious things to take care of at the end of a job! Like filling nail holes so you can finish that job with touch-up painting! On just about every surface imaginable!!! Crown moulding, baseboard, door frames, door trim. Or touch-up painting after caulking the crown moulding, or putting in the doorknobs, or the closet hardware, etc. See what I mean? It's enough to make you want to crawl in a dark hole and hide just thinking about the prospect of it all! As Charlie Brown would say, "Aaaagggh!"
Needless to say-me blogging is not getting anything done, is it?......
Mr. Man is at his mothers' today, along with his brother Kelly, tackling a nasty termite problem. He was down there yesterday by himself ripping off all the affected area. Hopefully all will go well and he can be all mine tomorrow. A blessing or a curse? We never seem to know.....
The Boys were supposed to go see Monsters vs. Aliens with Aunt Gwyn today. She just got off work this morning so I took pity on her and gave her a repreive till tomorrow. She'll have to pick up the slack by then though! Ha! Ha! She'll appreciate that! Maybe I'll go help her with damage control. Connor gets to spend tonight and mow her yard though. He sure wants that extra cash but not a "real" job-or so it seems.....Crap-I just now remembered that I was supposed to take him for his drivers test today! Sheesh-I am such a horrible mother! We both keep forgetting to do this!!! Heck, he'll be 17 the end of July. On another note my oldest has been selected to apply to the Texas Governors' School offered for 3 weeks this summer. Apparently, it is a science & technology based curriculum offered by Exxon-Mobil & the State. Other than than that-Sounds like it's right up his alley and if he is accepted it's free other than travel to/from and spending money. I am constantly on the child about anything that looks good on a college application, grant applications, etc. Maybe one day it will sink in.....
Awhile back, Sean won first place in the annual Matagorda County Water and Soil Conservation District poster contest. From here it will go to regionals. Maybe it already has.....I should probably check on that. He was just tickled that he won some money......
And you know Sean; first thing he did-

The "Winning Poster"- $0 dollars
Awards Banquet honoring entrant individuals- $3,000+
Sean getting to buy "another" new video game- PRICELESS

The child has his priorities all screwed up but I for the life of me don't know how to fix them permenently yet.....

Let's see Grant is just my "livewire". I can't really think were to start on what is going on in his life. He is such a BIG personality with so much going on all of the time. More on that later.

I'll get back on later to ruminate "MY" tales of woe to the world. Later.....
