Pagan Sunday

My kids are watching old chip and dale videos right now. We're not going to church because I'd really like this whole 10 day virus thing to be gone. I just can't handle dealing with that right now. Not that I'd ever choose to, but some times are better than others. So we're having another pagan Sunday.
If I get motivated enough I'm going to pick up the basement... it's a HUGE mess. I also need to go see my grandmother this afternoon. Right now I'm so tired I can't think about doing anything. All I want to do is crawl back in bed. Actually, I'd love to take a vicodin before I do, but that will totally knock me out for 4 hours. I really hurt where I fell on Friday. I guess there's always tomorrow to pick up...
There is a HUGE spider web in the window down here. I need to get the vacuum cleaner to deal with it, but the vacuum is up on the 2nd floor right now because we had to vacuum Lorelei's room last night because I was going through the shoe bin to find sneakers for Maggie and sand got all over her floor. So, needless to say, I'm not going to trot up and carry the vacuum down 2 flights of stairs.
I really, really hate being in pain all the time. I like to DO things and I feel like I'm either in too much pain to do anything or, if I do stuff, I know I'll pay for it later. It sucks.
Night before last all 4 kids slept all the way through the night (7:30 - 5:30). I have yet to write it in Liam's baby book (since it was his first time) but it was a night to remember!!
I'm really looking forward to getting rid of stuff in the yard sale, but I dread trying to price everything. I don't yard sale, so I don't know how much things sell for. I hope it's a success. I'm not even going to take anything back inside when it's done. It's just going to get loaded up and taken to Salvation Army.
I'm thinking I'll need babysitters that day - maybe 2 of them. I think Molly, Maggie and Angel Marie will be fine wandering around and walking back and forth from the lower yard to the house, ect (although maybe having Janet around to keep an eye on them wouldn't be a bad idea). But we definitely need people in the house for Lorelei and Liam. Maybe I'll see if Marti and Heather can do it.
I think if we do get the other house I'm going to take the carpets that are down here in the basement. I always planned on taking the 4 area rugs we have down in the TV room and office, but I'll probably take the one in the family room as well, unless the people specifically ask us to leave it. We're thinking we'd take the last set of shelves, toy chest and computer cabinet as well.
We probably won't even get it. We're only going to offer $130 and it's listed at $169. But it would be so sweet if we could get it and then sell this place for $200. Or even $180. I keep hoping someone will stop by the yard sale and offer to buy the place.
I am SO tired. I don't really know why because I thought I slept ok last night, although Liam was up once around 3 or 3:30. But I didn't even hear Bob get him or Lorelei up this morning, so that means I was really zonked out. That usually only happens when I'm just exhausted, so I guess I didn't sleep well after all.
I remember dreaming - I feel like I've been dreaming a lot lately. Maybe that's why. I don't really remember what I was dreaming, though. Which is probably good because my dreams are usually pretty disturbing.
I don't know why I'm blogging and not sleeping right now. I think if I went into the TV room at this point Lorelei would pitch a fit and want out of the pack-n-play (that she's in because she always pushes buttons on the TV). As it is, she's calling for me. And there's no really good place to sleep in here. There's the over sized chair, but I think I'd get a crick in my neck. Maybe she'll be ready for a nap soon.
I'd like to get to my grandma's by 3, if that's possible, so I can be sure to be back by 5 (probably sooner - it's so hard to hold a conversation with her and I doubt she'll even be out of bed). Maybe Mom will meet me there. That's a lot easier. And I can bring Liam's baby book to show her, so that will take up some time. I hate seeing her like that. She used to be so much fun to have a conversation with. She just doesn't remember anything from sentence to sentence anymore.
I really like the auto save function on here. I've lost many a blog to computer glitches before. It seems like it does it when there's a pause for a certain amount of time. Or maybe after a certain number of keystrokes. Or a combination of the two. Anyway, it's a nice feature.
I think Bob is still sleeping. He said he'd get up and take a shower so I could go back to bed, but I don't hear any water running, so he must have gone back to sleep. :( If I leave the house by two thirty and get up by two, if I can crawl back in bed by 11 I can get 3 hours of sleep. That ought to be enough. So I guess I'll go up and ask again at 10:30.
That's in 40 minutes. I wonder if I can get the basement cleaned up in 40 minutes?
Guess I'll try and see...
ttfn!
