Honestly, I should have just gone back to bed...........

It was one of those days when I walked two steps forward and then one step back.  I had a list a mile long of what I wanted to do but barely got anything done all day.  I was in a grumpy mood all day and that mood affected everything I did.

One of the things that put me in a bad mood, was back in March we put down a deposit a central vacuum system to be picked up in June.  We were at the Toronto Home Show and saw a display for Beam Central Vacuum systems.  There were a number a guys at this stand and the guy we dealt with asked us for $100 cash deposit.  To cut a long annoying story short I ended up calling Beam Canada today and they no longer have an affiliation with this guy and his company; thankfully they will honour (eat up) our deposit and get a local dealer to sell us a system for the remainder of the amount.

So I am waiting for an email for them to see when we can pick up the system.

We kept getting interrupted this morning, so that put me behind.  On the plus side we went to the lawyers office to sign everything for the new house and to pick up our cheque.  On the downside, once I had allocated the money to what we owed for what, there was very little left :0(

The drapery situation in our bedroom is giving me a headache, I hope to make headway on that over the weekend, but am not holding my breath with it all.

I think overall we are tired and for me especially it is catching up with me.  Poor dh is back at work on Monday.  I did tell him to take an extra week off but he won't.  He has three weeks off in September, so fingers crossed he will be okay until then.

Mind you in the scheme of things we have nothing to complain about as we have a roof over our heads, unlike a lot of people 15 minutes away from us who got caught up in the tornado the other night, see more about it here.  Then a poor person was killed and another seriously injured in the town  overnight by a driver who was charged with impaired driving and leaving the scene of an accident.  More on that tragic story here.

Finally on a happier note our little Munchkin turned 7 months this past Monday.  Here is this months photo:

Then on Thursday she graduated from the Starfish level of swimming.  She will have to wait until she is a year old though to take the duck level!!

And yes she is turning blonder!

Another horrible humid day here........

It was super humid again on Saturday. Although we did have a bit of wind, so that helped get my load of laundry dry. It also helped when stacking the logs.  This took less than three hours to stack.

However, we ran out of space, so I still have to sort out a space to stack the logs below, but that shouldn't take me too long to do.

Overall I am just thankful we got the majority of them stacked before it started to rain.

I made hot dogs, hash browns and salad for lunch with a Cadbury's Caramilk Cake for dessert, that was really yummy by the way.

Hope you have time to read this story we need more people like this in the world.........

However this story makes me shake my head.....what an awful thing to happen, to good people helping out others.

Oh and this story about kids trying to make a few dollars......

Callie has a neat feature on her posts, called A Peek at the Past, where she features a past post from her blog.

Here is my Peek at the Past, what I wrote about two years ago.
