Feeling really tired today. Got a little disappointed that I left my car at the detailer's all day only to pick it up at 5:00pm and find it not detailed! They got the outside washed, but didn't have time to clean the inside, which to me was more important. They had too many cars today. Anyway, I stopped by the carwash and vacuumed it out myself. It only cost me 3 bucks and some advil for my lower back. :-(

Lj has taken to climbing up on top of the storage shed to get a signal on his cell phone so he can text his friends. He originally climbed from a tree that grows behind it. I put a ladder up to make it more accessible. He had just better not fall off that thing.

Ely climbed up there yesterday via ladder, but he doesn't particularly like heights and didn't stay long. I am glad. Having one son risk life and limb at the time is enough. It worries me that they like to climb, but I did too at that age. I just pray they'll be extra careful.

We have one more week and two days before we head to MN. I am so ready to get up there and get this next part of my life started. I am still worrying about how to pack so much stuff into my car. We'll probably use plastic garbage bags instead of suitcases since they are so much more malleable. Well, I have a couple of suitcases I'll use, but other than that -- color-coded garbage bags. The phone is ringing...better go. CL
