Exhausted…been cleaning since I decided to get out of bed at around 9:30 or 10.  We’re supposed to be having friends over for a BBQ later today, and I kind of want the house to look good, so the girls and I started cleaning, and so far, no one is fighting (much) thankfully.  Also, they’re actually working and getting it clean (yay!) though Shabree is kind of not wanting to help much, but she did some stuff for me yesterday and was the only one to help me, so I can’t complain too much about her level of helpfulness…actually, she has done quite a bit this morning, come to think of it, so maybe she HAS been helpful.  Jerry just got home, and we all quit working.  I’m just taking a break.  I hand washed all the big dishes, Sydni cleaned the counters, Shabree dried and put away the dishes, I also got a FULL bag of trash from the "school" room (no longer a school room, but it’s one of two front rooms, so I just refer to it as the school room still).  Shabree just told me she wants a diary like mine, lol… it IS easier to keep an online diary than it is to actually write, though the writing practice is good for her.  I should go get back to work, I can edit as time allows.
