could really use an exhausted emoji here.......as of today we have 1 unit left to get ready for April 1st....nice thing with this one is that I have it half cleaned already so only 1,100 sq ft to go 
and some walls to be painted!
Have to head out and do chores before I fall asleep...hopefully there are no surprises waiting!

....no surprises at chore time last night.....didn't fall asleep that early but had to take care of the humans too . We had a thunderstorm with wind/hail go through yesterday evening- so DD and I quickly moved a few items in the garage so she could park inside again. DH made it home ahead of the storm. DS(15) had a track meet last night and didn't get home till 11:30 pm- DH had to go pick him up.......

So today officially starts our kidding season for the goats.......let the fun begin!!
Friday - Murphy joined our work crew and threw a wrench into the plan for the day!! The last unit we have to finish for April 1st was to have carpet and tile replaced on the main level....I wasn't there all week since I was finishing the other units with DH. I showed up on Friday to finish cleaning and start painting once DH got there but of course that was the day that the carpet/tile guys decided they would be working there
. Instead of trying to work around them and get nothing done...so I left and went to help DH finish loading trash out at another unit so that is ready to go and then went home.....I could have stayed in bed
Saturday we took the kids to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry and had a fun day...it was raining here/there all day so it worked out well. Figured out that I can no longer ride in way back in the car....felt crappy when we got home...DH ordered pizza and I went to bed!
Which brings us to today, we decided that since Friday was a flop, we would go and paint because we have extra helpers- DD has painted with us since she was in 3rd grade(she's now a jr in high school)- we don't tape the molding and she does most of the baseboard edging...our unit is all painted, now hoping that the carpet/tiles guys finish tomorrow so I can finish cleaning up Both DS's stayed home and DS(11) took his job of watching the goats very seriously...he wanted to go out every hour and check Obie and wanted to know what time we would be home so he could do a final check before we got back
Obie is now in the kidding area, her udder has doubled in size from this morning and she is placing her front legs on a cinder block and stretching. DD is figuring within the next 24 hours
and hoping for more than 1 kid!!
