Day 85 - Memorial Day

May 30th - 

I woke up this morning at Tiff's. Shelby & Sam are gone and Tiff was still asleep. I made a cup of coffee and sat at the kitchen table. I got a thought in my head to go clean out Sam's room. I walked down the hall and looked in........

Sam is "a boy" who doesn't care what his room looks like, and I thought to myself, "why don't I clean it up???" Well, I decided no......and went back to my cup of coffee in the kitchen. But something was nagging at me and I went back to look........

And I started thinking I should go ahead and do this. I could get it done pretty quickly, I thought. So I grabbed trash bags, separated garbage out, separated clothes out and got his room back in order in about 90 minutes. 

I was very pleased with how well it turned out. This one of Sam's birthday presents this year. His grandma cleaned his room. 
About 10:00 Tiffany & I skyped with Wade again for about 50 minutes. It was a nice visit and Wade wasn't distracted with Shelby & Sam making faces and movements in the screen. It's hot over there and getting warmer and it's not summer yet. Wade is doing a little bit of jogging and it seems to help with his sleeping. Once we were finished, Tiffany & I went to work and straightened up her bedroom. She scrubbed her bathroom, I cleaned out her closet a little and we both straightened up her bedroom. It turned out beautiful too. 

We went to a matinee this afternoon. It was nice and cool in the theatre and we watched the movie "Bridesmaids". It was a good, fun movie - but definitely NOT for kids. (R rating for language and adult content) but there were some very funny parts in it. 
We stopped for a car wash, gas fill and a couple groceries after that. Tiffany bought some flowers and these are the ones that she put in her newly clean and beautiful bedroom...........

We came home to a crock pot of delicious meatloaf and the smell was so inviting as we walked through the door. We made some mashed potatoes and had a wonderful dinner.
Right now we're sitting in the living room with facial masks on..........

These are anti-stress masks and so we should be feeling de-stressed in about half an hour. Tonight is The Bachelorette and we're looking forward to a quiet evening in front of the tv. Tiffany has work in the morning so it won't be a late night tonight. 
I will load up most of my stuff in the car before I go to bed. I'm planning on waking up around 5:30 tomorrow morning and leaving by about 6:00 and heading home. I've had a great time here with Tiff & Shelby & Sam - AND Sarge, Reese, Buttercup and Hercules too. I'll be glad to go home and see my animals tomorrow. Thank you Tiff for a great weekend!
