Happy 11th Anniversary to Amelia and Erik!
Joel finished laying the tile in the laundry room yesterday and today he grouted it. Now it's James's turn. He's going to install a new counter and shelves. It looks like a totally different room.
You can't really appreciate it unless you had seen it before!
James worked a long time putting up baseboard and the new cabinet. Alex helped paint and walla, we have a new room.
These are some of my accomplishments for the day: I made James some scrambled eggs for breakfast. I read to him from "A Revealed Heart" where the heroine has gone bald because she has alopecia, and I paid bills. I have extreme pain in both of my hips. I think it was from sitting in a hard chair at the computer for several hours. James worked in the laundry room until after 10.
I called the arthritis office and left a complaint and my frustration with not being able to get some help. The girl at the desk, Michelle, was very understanding and said she would have someone call me tomorrow. I gave up on the day around 4pm and went to bed. If I lie really still I can get some rest.
Tricia posted on Facebook today that Emmy left her purse at the Dollar Store where she was shopping for Anna and Molly. When she went back to get it the purse was there but $187 of her birthday money was missing. I immediately sent out a family email asking for donations to send her and got a great response. We won't be able to cover the entire amount, but we will replace over $100. I love my kids and how they care for each other!
Dallin was here playing his guitar today. He has such a nice voice and I love to listen to him.
No, we weren't at the beach today.
