Hanging on...

It seems since our basement was flooding it has opened up a fresh can of worms. I am totally stressed and overwhelmed. I had made some good progress in getting our basement too look like it was finished and livable. It seems my whole family has felt the new chaos. I'm working on getting some things done around here when I'm not completely overwhelmed by it all. I have learned over the years to take baby steps and appreciate any and all progress that has been made. I'm just going to keep trudging along and asking God to keep calm and grounded.

So today I spent far too much money. Man! Was it fun! First my accomplishment of the day was making some returns. Oh crud! I just realized that I forgot one. Maybe I can do that on my way home from work tomorrow. It's the swimsuit I bought back in March, but I only bought the top thinking it was a whole suit.

Ok, purchase number one -- a keurig coffee maker. As my son would say, "It's so easy even my mom can make a good cup of coffee." It's true I can't make coffee. This machine takes all the guesswork out. I rarely made coffee, so I always forgot the amount of coffee needed. Now I can offer my coffee-drinkin' guests a great cup of coffee. Now to find my favorite flavors.

<-- Item number two -- This will hopefully be a great solution to keep my girls' room tidy or at least tidier. It's put together and sitting empty as I contemplate what should go in each "drawer."
Finally, a Little Green Machine. Trish convinced me this was the way to go to get spots out. I had specifically mentioned "shampooing" my minivan carpet. My sister has had one for a long time. She may even be on her second one. I didn't try it out yet. It was too hot to even think about exerting energy outside tonight and I was much too tired to even think about it.

On that note, I'm bidding you good night.
