Well it is 10:00…hubby is in bed since he has to get up at 4:00am for work.  Tommy is jumping over his gate and I am ignoring him hoping this game gets old soon.  Josh, Amy and Erik are downstairs watching TV.   I just finished pulling out all the staples from another of my dining room chairs.  I will reupholster it tomorrow during nap time.   I might even pull the staples out of another tomorrow.  Erik helped take the staples out for a while, but got tuckered out. 

Josh was at church tonight at the confirmation supper for his gf Amy.  Then they came back here to have a turtle custard cake from Culvers with us to celebrate Josh’s new job.  We celebrate many things at our house…I want my children to know I am proud of them.   I will often write them notes and cards to tell them so. 

The rest of the evening I think I will wash dishes and pay bills.  then I am going to curl up on the couch and read my book for book group.   I need to finish it!   I enjoy it when everyone goes to bed because than I can turn off all the junk…..TV, etc and enjoy some peace.   Drives the kids nuts…because when hubby is at work tomorrow all day I will not ever turn the TV on in the living room.   I just enjoy the quiet so much more.   They can watch downstairs if they must.    Tommy and I play and read books instead of watching TV.  Once Daddy gets home the tv is on again for the rest of the day and night. 

Well off to do a few things before reading….Later!
