Brannon came over yesterday. He has Tuesday's off. He took me to the doctor. We went and took care of some cell phone needs. He also took some stuff back to Media Com. He helped me take the kids pool down. I remember that getting it up wasn't so easy. Getting it down wasn't so easy, but he and I worked together as a wonderful team. There was no drama. We both voiced how we thought it would be easiest to get it down. We had a few problems getting all the water out of it, but we got it figured out. We got it bleached and wiped down, and he rolled it up military style (I guess after spending 7 years in the military, you just have that engrained in you). I had never put a pool up before, so of course I learned a few things on what not to do. We talked about how I could better improve putting it up next year and how some things could be avoided. It was a good conversation. Helpful. I feel blessed. He is very helpful and kind. Deb and Roger, my neighbors, were outside and met Brannon for the first time. They were impressed.

It is starting to cool down a bit. I am ready for colder weather. I am ready to use the fireplace. I want to turn the air off and open up the windows. It's still a little warm during the day, so I can't turn the air off just yet.

I want to paint the office and the hallway. I want to replace the bathroom floor. Brannon wants to work on the sunroom with me. We stood in there yesterday and he told me all the things we could do. It wouldn't add any value to the house, but it sure would update it nicely. Now if I could just pull the $$$$ out my rear end.

I have lots of homework. I got up early to work on it. I got up a little after 5, but I'm still trying to wake up. I have a stupid busy day today. Dish network is coming to the house today to install a box for Jody. I need to take Whiskey back to the vet for Brannon this morning. The kids have juggling so we have to leave the house a half an hour earlier than we normally do. The traffic is horrible, so leaving a half hour early is always a treat...but not. There is church tonight, not sure if we are going to make it or not. I've been trying to go on Wednesday nights, but I'm just so stupidly busy...Anyways, typing on this box isn't going to get my homework done. Blah
