Spring Cleaning

Well, getting ready to go to bed now. Boy, what a day. Started off coloring my hair (hiding the gray) and while I waited on that, decided to clean the bathroom. Well, one thing led to another. After my hair was done, then had to do my bedroom. Finally got my bureau cleaned off. Washed the kitchen floor cuz I couldn't stand it anymore and then, after supper, did a cleaning of the dishes, sink, strainer, table, etc. Took care of all the clutter that was on my desk also. Kids have gone home and finally have time to check in and wish everyone a good night's sleep. Called my dd in San Diego ... she's enjoying herself and will be home Saturday. Also, my ds is bringing over his girlfriend on Sunday (so maybe that's the reason for my cleaning? LOL). Actually, this is the first girl he has ever brought to the house and of course, she's scared. He doesn't understand why ... I am the nicest person one could ever hope to meet LOL but I told him that it was natural. Sheesh! I can still remember how scared I was when I met one of my boyfriend's parents for the first time. This relationship probably will not last as he's almost 20 and she's almost 17 (her birthday is 10 days prior to his) but one never knows. Should be an interesting day. Oh, and he said "mom, if we're in my room, the door has to stay open, right?" And I said, "of course". When he told her that, she really got scared! Can't figure that one out! LOL Night ladies.

Boy, what energy ingredient was in that hair rince, I need some!

She's 17 and he's 20. If either one was my kid, they wouldn't go into the bedroom--door open or not. I suppose he has all his entertainment in there (computer, CD player, etc.) but they can be brought out into the dining room or kitchen for the time she is there. It's just too risky, to me. That subject was brought up on Dr. Phil and he said, "No way" too. But this is your son and you know him.

Haven't got a clue why I had this burst of energy but it won't happen again for awhile. LOL And no, they won't be in his room. Where we are now, the only thing in there is his bed & radio. My dh is in the middle of building him his own pc so he will stop using mine (LOL) and I told them if they wanted to mess around to go elsewhere. LOL Actually, I had one of those "must have done something right" moments when he said they were kissing, etc. and he stopped himself because he realizes she is underage. Says he's not ready for a baby or anything. I was very proud that he's not like the others that are out there and his brains do stay in the head and not the lower part of the body. LOL

I said I was cooking dinner and he wanted to know if he should "invite" her ... gads! that would really freak her out. We don't really do sit downs so I said that if they were here around that time, they could get themselves something. Don't want to scare her too much. LOL

That's my kind of dining. I don't think my 19-year-old remembers all of us sitting at the table at the same time--isn't that why they invented TV tables (lol). When I was living at home with Mom and Dad, two sisters and three brothers, there was a large dining room table which held the typewriter, a lamp, school books, folded ironing, the Sunday newspaper, and a bunch of other stuff--it was either clear the table or find a chair in another room; I chose the latter. Now when DD's friends ask what's for dinner I tell them the pizza they are going to order and pay for. Kathey
