Weekend Over

The weekend is drawing to an end quickly as the sun sets while I am writing this. Yesterday was a long day, as I sat outside giving Tabitha encouragement to learn to ride a bicycle. She will be 10 years next month and high time she learnt this childhood activity. We had tried to teach her when her sister finally learned at age 8. However she was not able to learn then. Finally she has learned but is not yet a pro.



Today the girls went to church. I had laundry to do and sheets to change. I also have been trying to put away some of the girls summer clothing.
 On top of everything else, dear ol' Sugar has for the 2nd time, taken her sharp daggers and tore up the window blind in Sammy Jo's bedroom.
  

3 of the slats just ripped into. The first time Brian was able to fix it, but not this time (we ran out of extra slats). So I ran to Wal-Mart to find some kind of a curtain. Dear ol' Brian gave me wrong measurements for window, the curtain doesn't exactly fit but will do for time being. Friday I will buy another. I shall be buying curtains window by window to replace the window blinds that we now have. The window blinds are too much for me to take care of anymore and have become dust collectors anyway. At least with curtains I can throw into washer. Tomorrow I will be calling the vet, hopefully to get appt. for Friday to have Sugar declawed in the front. I have tried not to do this but am going to have to as we don't have a single door frame in the house that she hasn't tore up and also managed to get the wall next to the door frame on Tabitha's bedroom. After she is declawed we are going to have to paint each door frame and as for the wall I am hoping that a wallpaper border will do the trick. So much trouble Sugar has caused......

  1. So nice that Tabitha has learned to ride a bike. It's hard for some kids - I didn't learn until I was 9 myself. As for you, you have your day cut out for you, it sounds like. Don't work too hard. :-)

    1. Brian and I plan on giving them new bicycles for Christmas and I am hoping that I will be able to ride, in hope that it will help my knee or at least keep it from getting worse. If I am able to ride, plan on getting one for me so we can all ride together.
