Welcome to Dana's blog!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, my work is almost done. I have given this house the best once over it's had in a while. The litter boxes are clean, appliance fronts cleaned, the 5th adn final load is in the wash, rugs are cleaned, mopped, vacuumed, dusted, bathrooms cleaned (and Joey peed all over a toilet and the floor shortly after both of those were cleaned!LOL), stove top cleaned, counter tops cleaned, etc, etc.

I *think* all I have left is to make the lemon bars, brown the sausage for the casserole (that will get assembled after I buy cheese tomorrow) and make out a grocery list.

Mat's taking his final test for school this year! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I think I may have to make a list of everything I need to do tomorrow.

Lastly, MIL called and starts off w/just be truthful w/me. The answer doesn't matter, just be truthful. Great, hit me w/your best shot. Apparently our 12yo nephew (who doesn't really get along w/Mat) wants to come out this weekend. So I told her that if he wants to come and promises to be nice, he can come. I was really stunned that he WANTED to come. I hope he doesn't want to sabotage the weekend for everyone. But he knows that I won't put up w/his crap and I'm assuming he'll stay in line as long and I am all over him. Won't THAT be fun. I'm trying to think of something that maybe he and I can do for fun. I don't want him thinking I'm some ogre, but FIL is retired so he does seem to spend the most time w/him in alot of ways. And that's where the trouble brewed last time. The nephew wanted to go along after gpa had asked Mat and he just tormented the daylights out of him so they fought and FIL doesn't put up w/that!LOL In the back of my mind, I wonder but what he doesn't want gpa all to himself. I don't blame him. They are latchkey kids (he's got a 9yo sister) and they are also left home alone all summer while the parents work.

I have no idea if this will come to pass and MIL wasn't sure if he had asked his mom if he could go. I just pray that if he does come, we have a nice time. MIL made a comment about we can't ship him back 1/2 way thru the weekend. I thought YOU WANNA MAKE A BET! I will call him mom and tell her to meet me 1/2 way cuz that's where he will be. He is down right malicous at times to Mat and Mat is no saint, but Mat's not mean.

I haven't even told DH. He'll probalby find an excuse to go to work on Saturday!ROTFL!!!!!!

And I have worked out and showered. Now I need to eat! I still haven't done taht today!
