Friday, Hubs home and cleaning


 Hubs got home late yesterday afternoon and he destroyed the kitchen and master bedroom unpacking.  HE was so dirty.  I don't know if I will get the outdoor khakis he was wearing clean.  He got right in the shower and I sprayed the pants down with spray and wash and let them sit over night.  They are now soaking in the wash machine with BIZ for an hour or two.

The bed is covered with???? and the closet is tore apart, I just might have to supervise his put away strategy.  Right now he is up in Moscow with Oliver.  He called and said that when he got to the apartment at 6:45 no one would answer the door.  SURE ENOUGH Dan was in the shower.  So when he finally answered Hubs turned around to get something out of his truck and locked the keys in the car.  He was finally able to get the door open with a tape off an extension that Dan had.  Remember that if you find yourself in this mess, that one of those stiff rolling tapes can easily be slid down into a door they are pliable but also stiff enough to hold shape.

Anyway that left me the chickens and the watering again this morning.  Here is what I picked from the garden.  Just a handful of beans left from the deer and yellow squash, which I will cook up this weekend.

You are not going to believe that yesterday,  I was able to hem, take in a three layer wedding dress and bustle it, then hem, and corset back three bridesmaid dresses in the same amount of time it took me to do the stupid red dress and those skirts the day before. I mean really?  Some days are just good and yesterday was a good day.

Nathan is bringing the kids down in the next hour as he has to work and D#2 is still in Spokane working for a dental surgery clinic.  She will be home later tonight, I don't know if she plans on picking up the kids or just getting some rest. 

I went through wedding dresses yesterday and I have 7 due out on the 10th of July plus many bridesmaid dresses.  Next week along with a few piles will be busy.  But I do feel like I got myself on even keel this week.  SO I can concentrate a little on the house.  The floors have not been done since before we left for Hubs folks and they are bad.  But having the grand kids today,may not be the best time to do them.  I will see. If I can get Kelsa down for a nap I plan on altering a couple of bridesmaid dresses and at least getting one wedding dress cut and ready to sew.  I also need to clean the shop.  Probably will do that first.

 We are in a  heat wave here, which does not bother me at all.  But it is supposed to be 117 downtown.  The hottest it ever got here while I have lived here is 121. Although I love the heat, that is too hot and I am thankful for air conditioning which I usually don't like. 

We have no big plans for the weekend, other than cleaning and putting away and then the missionaries (ONLY 2) for dinner on Sunday.  Do you have anything special going on this weekend?

Have a great and productive day staying sportive while you are in the negative.

    1. Well this is the first house that I have lived in that has decent air conditioning and I am spoiled.

  2. The weather is way, way too hot. It's not as hot here, but it's supposed to be 110 at my parents, and 95 at the Oregon coast. It's really hard, as no one has air conditioning. I'm glad you have it, and can cool off.

    As for this weekend, I'm taking Sam to a soccer practice, packing for our trip (heading to the beach for one final hurrah, plus dropping off the kids after with my parents, and then moving out the rest of our stuff.) Lots of logistics. I'm making a caprese salad with garden tomatoes & basil.

    I also want to clean the house, and wash all of the sheets. Those alone will take a while!

    1. I love caprese salad. I often wonder ow people stayed cool 100 years ago. I know they had to do something.

  3. It's always hot here, and humid. I don't mind it. I will be going to a few estate sales and keep listing stuff on eBay. We don't have the grandkiddos this weekend.

  4. Have you ever considered not accepting other items during wedding season except for the police things? That is hot, but I like hot, too. The squash looks delicious. I hope to go to a market tomorrow and get more fresh produce.

    1. No because wedding season is a season and I need those other things to bring in money all year round. They are my bread and butter.

  5. Can you more clearly explain what that tape is that opens doors? Did not get it!

    1. I want to know also. Hubby said he would put it in his truck and then specified the truck bed where he has a safety kit LOL

    2. You know measuring tape on a reel. Hubs took off the end piece and hooked on a coat hanger hook and then maneuvered it through and it was thin enough and strong enough to keep its shape.

  6. Community wide yard sale here Saturday so I'll do my stockpile sale again. A percentage of my sales will go to the ALS Association in honor of my cousin we buried last week. 8-(

  7. I sure hope your hubby doesn't read your blog as you seem so sparse with any compliments. He appears to be very willing to help out your girls with the grandchildren. I always feel kind of sorry for him when I read how he seems to irritate you.

    1. Oh it is a long history of irritation, trust me. This is a place that I vent.I am dealing with his hearing loss, his parkinsons (condition) and early onset dementia. It is very hard. I do feel sorry for him and he has many, many great qualities. I just get very frustrated and it comes out.

  8. Hubby is helping Amish to tear out the basement ramp of poured concrete sides on ramp and blocks on 3 sides at entrance of basement. J said 3 Saturday (since Hubby is helping) but might get cut to 2 if Hubby does the cleaning up by himself. Since it cuts the labor bill, he is doing the cleaning up LOL.
    I am harvesting... and planting fall crops.
