Okay, whew! That was crazy. I was so tired, I could barely function this morning! But I'm better now. (I should be, it's almost 2 pm!)

So, good things today - we're picking up a table that was offered on the freecycle page. It's a yellow, formica and chrome dining room table, the kind that our dear old grandmas used to have. I think it's going to be soo cool! We've been needing a larger table, and I hope this one works out for us. I have a pretty eclectic combination of stuff in my house, so I think it will fit in okay. Now maybe we can start having some people to over to eat since it seats 6-8 with the leaf! Debby? Up for it?

To get the table, we have to borrow our neighbor's truck, but that's cool cause he owes us a favor. We'll also swing buy and pick up some bunkbeds that a friend has been saving for us. I'm excited about this, too. The top is a single, and the bottom is a full. Wrenn and Eli will use it until the boys are old enough to take it over.

AND, more good news - my cousin Joey has come through in a pinch for us, and is going to help my mom tend to the kids while Patrick and I go on our trip. We thought for a minute there that we would have to at least take Luke, and I had resigned myself to the fact that this just wasn't going to be one of those "grown-up trips". But, J cheerfully agreed to help, good bloke that he is, even though he doesn't get my jokes. Still. Yay!

Well, that'll be all for now folks. The dishes have staged a revolution in the kitchen, and things are getting a little out of hand in there. They're disgusted with the conditions they've been living in, and frankly, I don't blame them. But still, I wish they'd stop leaving these ugly little notes all over the place. Seriously. Not cool. And hey, is that written in blood? Sheesh.
