Free Time, You Betcha

It's been a busy long week. And YES I have alot of free time, I am looking for employment, but I'm not wasting my time just sitting at home. I am making my home better.
Monday, had Parent/Teacher conference and there was no school. Jeremy isn't doing very good in school. We all know he can do the work he just doesn't want to put any effort into doing it his self. Constantly have to be on him to do homework and have sit with him while he does it.
Well on Tuesday I decided to paint. I went down to Meijer's and got some paint. Jack Pot. I got 6 gallons of paint, each a different color. They were mixed wrong and they could only sell them at clearance prices, $2.00 a gallon. I took all they had and then opened them at home to see what exactly I had. I had 2 different colors of white, brownish mauve, butter color, and 2 different colors of green, dark/light. On Wednesday I started painting my kitchen walls the butter color, which really looks good. Candace also stopped by. Alden had a doctors appointment and he also got his flu mist as did Ashlynn. After they left I painted the trim and cabinets the brownish mauve color. I got it all painted and went to get supper, and when I walked in the front door I decided that I did not like the cabinets. I had it all done except for 4 drawer. They were too dark and it made the room too dark. So I repainted the cabinets a white/white and now they look better. I still have to paint the trim in the hallway. Scott wants me to do the living room next, but not really sure what color I want in there, certainly not the greens. I also have to paint a wall in my guest bedroom, which didn't get painted the last time cause I ran out of paint and now this one wall will be my accent wall. Jeremy also wants me to paint his bedroom, but he wants a dark blue. I'll have to see what I can do about that, maybe find some more paint on clearance. I finally almost finished on Friday, but at least I got it cleaned up and it really looks good. Still need to hang my curtains. I think I might try and get some appliance paint so I can do the stove and dishwasher, they are a gold tone color.
Candace/Brian and grandbabies came over on Friday. They had to pick up Ashlynn, which she stayed all night with Aunt Patsy and Uncle Joe. The girl never stays home if she can help it. She just has to ask and say please and she's won your heart. Jeremy went home with them, I guess he's spending the weekend with them. Adrian called me on Thursday to see if Jeremy could come and stay with him. Neither boys had school on Thursday or Friday, due to Fall Break, so they had a 4 day weekend. Jeremy likes going out to Brownsburg and Candace/Brian don't mind it either cause it keeps the kids busy. So after they left around 2:00pm I started cleaning Jeremy's bedroom. I had been telling, telling him to pick stuff up and he kept telling me that it was. Clothes put away, trash picked up, skate board parts and Army stuff, well it wasn't so I had to clean it again. I don't mind cleaning it as long as he would keep it that way, but it never happens. It only stays clean when he's not home.
