Getting things done

I spent the whole day today finally getting some stuff done in the house. I finally figured out a way to utilize some "dead" space in our house and turn it into some much needed storage. That allowed me to get rid of a box of books that has been sitting in my bedroom since we moved into the house. Next up finish painting (it's been at least a year now) and more organizing.

Yesterday, I went with the "girls" on a shopping trip to the Outlet mall in Howell. Seven of us "moms" met up at 8:30 and drove 2 hours to the mall. We then shopped pretty much all day and then had dinner at P.F. Chang's. I arrived back home around 9pm so it was an all day event. It was a nice outing and a much needed get-away sans children. Of course, as usual I came home with an a**load of clothes for my kids and 3 things for myself. In my defense though Children's Place had clearance racks of $4.99 and under stuff ....then add in my 15%off coupon. What's truly sad is that my 3 items of clothing still cost more than 2 bags full of children's clothes.
