My kids have three days off from school, and I find it hard to get anything done when they are interrupting me all day. So, I was on my computer, spending time on other sites. I did have to go to the store and buy a birthday present, and I cleaned the kitchen. I went for a walk with my older ds, too. I should have spent more time outside because it's been raining all day so far and I think it's going to rain for the rest of the day. Yuck!
Spending time on other sites really made me appreciate the efficiency of this forum. The one I was on for most of the day was soooo annoying. We have a great site, here.

Rest of the day? The weather report I just heard says it's supposed to do this, than change to a rain/snow mix...and continue through Tuesday! Ahhhh, Fall/Winter in Michigan! The count of consecutive days without sun can now commence!
I convinced DH at lunch today that we need to rearrange the living room furniture to make room for my exercise machine. It's in the basement right now - but I hate being down there....and I need to have it someplace where I can use it, since I refuse to go out and walk in this!
