Random thoughts on a Tuesday

It is Tuesday.

Tuesdays are supposed to be quiet days, but in our home they are rather chaotic due to over scheduling - thanks to mom (me).

Chaotic Tuesdays will continue for the summer, again thanks to over scheduling mother who the home office says has no concept of time hence the overbooking of all members of the Schmidt house, excluding the dog. Mimi is wide open on Tuesdays if anyone would like to visit her she will be here alone in the laundry room because her family is out running amok.

Events for Tuesday, June 5th:

AE is attending her end of year picnic and is very excited. She is upstairs doing her hair for the third time this morning. She also cannot decide what to wear. Don't know why this trip to the park is causing so much clothing angst...

JG is off to last swimming lesson for this session at Foss. He is doing really well and daddy will be going with him to watch him swim like a wild man. He is then going to go hang out with his buddy KL.

I am off to tennis, first time I have hit the court in two weeks since last adventure when I sprained ankle of my good foot and then was declared a CHEATER by my opponents. Long, long sordid story behind the cheater declaration for which I will spare you all of the details. I will only say I truly believe all clinically insane people in Minnesota MUST be playing tennis as a form of therapy.

DLS is going to work and is anxiously awaiting escape from chaotic household on Thursday for testosterone golf weekend in Brainerd.

Mia. Well, Mia will be at home waiting for one of you to stop by for a visit.

I feel for you, sister. Why is it that our trials are generally of our own making???

I would, by the way, LOVE to hear the latest tennis story. It sounds too good to keep to yourself.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma
