We put up Christmas lights today and I almost died. Apparently I stepped on the home of some very angry ants. I have approximately 35 bites that occurred in a matter of seconds. I had such a violent reaction that I almost passed out right there on the front lawn. I am in so much pain, far worse than when I broke my ankle and needed nine pins and a plate to repair it. But… the house is beautiful. Also the moon got in on the action. Thank you, moon.

The kids and I cleaned the gutters for the first time since we moved in eleven years ago. There were trees growing in them. It was hard work, but feels so good to accomplish something like this. And the weather was amazing. Hooray for spring!

Got our Christmas lights up before this weekend’s storm. Also bought new mattresses and put up stockings and added tinsel to the tree. This week wasn’t everything I wanted it to be, but it could have been a lot worse.

Our latest adventure. Long day of driving followed by lots of trees, an outdoor deck, a hot tub, and the best friends a girl could have.

For some reason I said yes when Christina asked to host a sleepover with four of her friends, never expecting that any of them would actually say yes. All four of them are coming, although only two are actually spending the night. I had to clean the living room and kitchen for the first time since we had to give up our cleaning service and it was so fucking gross. But now it is sparkling. It almost looks like we care. It won’t last, I know, so here is proof that sometimes the house can be beautiful.
