The Simple Homemaker

Wednesday

Good Morning All!  It is a gray and rainy day here in Maine today.  Quite frankly, it is a welcomed break!  The above picture I took the day before last.  Color is erupting everywhere! 

As of late, I have been feeling like there is not enough time in ones day.  I can't believe that we are now in the month of June!  We have been working in the gardens and tackling the endless list of projects.  School is in full swing  still and will be for a few more weeks. 

Here are a few things that we will be tackling on DH days off:

New Garage Roof

Garage Doors

Kitchen Counter/Sink

New Bathroom

Seal Driveway

Build New Bulkhead Steps

Install Wood Flooring-Livingroom

Install New Pellet Stove

In the meantime I will be painting the garage and working on the basement windows.  They need to be scraped, caulked and painted.  It has been seven years since I did it last and they look terrible!  I have other things to do also, but if I mention all of them I may begin to feel overwhelmed!  I also need to put together the children's portfolios.  I admit that I am not organized in this department.  Let's say there is room for improvement.  I have everything together, just not seperated by subject.   I also did not write down every single book they have read.  Goodness sakes, we read almost where ever we go.  In waiting rooms there are always books and when we visit the library, sometimes they just pick up a book and read.  Let's just say, I will be happy to get this out of the way and focus on the new year.  I am sure I will be better organized.  It gets easier as time passes.

Well, I guess I will close for now.  I can't wait to go and catch up with everyone else.  Have a terrific day!

I like the picture! I wish we could have a cloudy day! It's bright, sunny, hot, and humid everyday. I don't mean to complain, but when it's sunny the boys want to be at the pool and I don't get much done!
Good luck on your list.
Blessings,
