Whew! What a busy day. I worked at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore from 9-2pm. I was only supposed to work until 1 but they were busy and the usual 1-5 guy couldn't be there so I said I'd stay over. I really enjoy working there. I'm hoping that I can still work sometimes over the summer. It would really be nice if I could find a job like that where I got paid.

After I picked them up, I did a quick scramble through the grocery store and then, it was time to get the boys. Yay! I love our time together. I know that life hasn't been very fair to them in some areas but they've done so well with the changes and they really are such good kids.

One bonus to me going to Canada was the short shopping trip for groceries. It made unloading the van tons and tons easier and it sure as heck cut down on the fighting about getting it unloaded. The boys and I had chili dogs as a special treat and just enjoyed the evening together until bedtime. Then, it was a couple of chapters of Percy Jackson and bedtime for the boys.

So, what did I finish? Well, the week, I guess. There wasn't really any time to finish off anything else. That's ok, though. I know that there's always plenty of finishing to be done but sometimes you just have to enjoy what you have.

Yesterday was such a great day. The sun was out. It was a balmy, gorgeous 81 outside and it just energized me. I got so much done! I finished sweeping the boys room. I got the stuffed toys that are going to Haiti all bagged up and had them outside for pick up. I tidied and swept the landing. I planted something like 9 different containers of veggies. I uploaded, labeled and grouped a whole bunch of photos on Flickr. I even went out and got my composter started.

What does that mean for today? It means I'm headed into Hastings to go grocery shopping and to get the boys. My Finish It Friday is that I'm stopping by the vets again. Hemi had ear mites and I strongly suspect that the other kitties to too. I'm taking in ear swabs of the two older kitties and taking Sadie in with me because she needs to be weighed. If nobody has guessed, our kitties are spoiled rotten and loved to death. We want them happy and healthy. They're happy so now I'm working on making sure that they're all healthy.

How about all of you, my loyal and loving readers? What are you going to Finish Up so that your weekend has more freedom to it?

Whew! I was just too tired to write this post yesterday. I tackled something pretty important yesterday. I drove into Hastings and took Hemi(ngway) to the vet. The poor guy had to be fixed. His sister went into heat and we just don't need/want kittens. Since it's about a 30-40 minute drive into Hastings, I decided to spend the day there.

I went out to the Goodwill store and to Walmart. I've been trying to find yard/gardening tools for a good price. No such luck but I did find some good deals on items we do need. I also picked up some more seeds and 9 little baby broccoli plants. I'm hoping that the weather is nice this weekend so we can start working on our garden.

I also went and checked out the new library in Hastings. Oh my goodness, it is so nice! It's so much bigger than their old one. I so wish that I still had my library card from there. They do have free wifi there, though which is super nice for if I need to waste some time in town again. Plus, they have a used bookstore inside! I love used books!

After all of that fun, I picked up my Hemi boy and brought his poor drugged, drunken sailor looking self home. For those of you who knew he was going to the vet, he's just fine. The drugs wore off and he was back to himself today.

Whew! We made it! It's Friday! I wish I could say that I've had a super productive week, but it's just not the case. I did get bits done here and there but not as much as I would have liked. Oh well, sometimes we all have those kinds of weeks. I did have a productive week when it came to some self-realization, though. I haven't decided quite yet if I'll write about that or not.

I will, however, write about what I'm going to finish today. I'm going to be doing something that I'm hoping will relieve some stress for me. Ever since I started having problems with the van, I've been fairly phobic about actually driving it. Well, today, I'm going to confront that fear. I'm actually taking the van into the mechanic's to have them go over it and to tell me what, if anything, needs to be fixed. I say I'm hoping that it will relieve some stress because if the list is too long, I'm going to be fairly freaked out..lol!

After that, I'm going to be running into Grand Ledge to do some quick grocery shopping. I have the boys coming over on Sunday for their Spring break and I have a yummy very kid friendly menu planned but not all of the things I'll need to create it. Plus, I want to pick up some Easter treats for them.

So, wish me luck! I'm so hoping for good news today!

Whew! We made it! It's Friday again and you know what that means. It means we need to wrap things up so that we can enjoy our weekends. I have a long list of things I want to get done today and it starts right here, on the blog. The first thing I want to finish is this post!

After that, I need to:

1. Go to Hastings and drop off empty boxes for Peter/Donna.
2. While there, pick up the boys' things.
3. Pick up the boys.
4. Go to Walmart.
5. Go to Habitat for Humanity to drop off my volunteer form, register for a shift and see what's happening in the ReStore.
6. Go grocery shopping.
7. Put $10 into the gas tank of the van.
8. Drive home and unload everything from the van while ignoring the grumbles from the boys.
   
9. Enjoy a nice night with the boys.

Then, after they're in bed, I need to do some blog work. I have some review information that I need to get out to some Etsy shop owners and companies. All in all, it's going to make for a long day but one that's worth doing.

How about you? What do you need to finish up so you can enjoy your weekend?
