labor day!

slept in today. mmmm.. love that! i wish i could sleep in everyday.

got up. removed my eye 'bandages'. and got to work on the new office. we got a desk from the dousts in exchange for jon's recliner, so we put it in our front room (which on our floor plan is the dining room). jon had put the desk together already so this morning i moved my office stuff into it and then put the bookshelf into place and filled it.

then i moved my art stuff from the back room into my front room. i still have a lot of work to do in there but right now am just trying to get things into the right rooms.

in our guest room i sorted out all the stuff we want to sell at a garage sale, tidied up, and you can actually see the floor in there. also washed the sheets from the futon and put them away in the chest of drawers.

then i took a shower and woke up jon so we could go to B&Gs for a BBQ. bro was so pleased that he'd picked up a tuna steak for me but i didn't like it and felt horrible that i didn't like it. mom kind of picked on me a little about it saying how expensive they are to buy and i felt horribler. i felt like an ungrateful little brat when they just wanted to do something kind for me. and mom brought sushi rolls thinking i liked those. blech. but brian talked me into eating one of them and i liked it. the other one i didn't and had to spit it out.

i love that my family thinks of me and wants to get things for me that they thing i will like, and i just feel so awful when i don't like it. i tried to like the tuna, but i just couldn't.

we took the kids outside and played frisbee, nerf football, and some lacrosse-like thing. i was terrible at it but it was fun anyway.

then we came inside, they ate pie and i had some chips ahoy cookies while we watched freedom writers. awesome movie. jan did a great job recommending it!

now i'm at home getting laundry and dishes done so i can leave tomorrow morning for worship arts dept retreat. we'll be away 2 nights. i hope jan will be able to get rest. i feel like i've not done enough to help her with it.

well.. gotta put laundry in the dryer and do my eye drops. dr appt tomorrow at 8am!
