This week in a nutshell.

This week has been pretty slow. I managed to get a jump-start on the spring cleaning on Monday. I might add that I had to miss the gym to do it and I'm not happy about that. There's still a ton of things to be done and since I loathe housework you can bet that it will be well into summer before I do it all. I got my son his first two-wheeler with training wheels this week. It's so adorable to watch him riding it up and down the sidewalk. I actually broke out my roller blades, blew off the dust, killed all the spiders that I found and went down the bike path with my son on his new bike. I think I will try to make it into a daily ritual. It should tire him out a bit and since he will do anything to say awake until 11:00pm I think it will help get him to bed at a decent time. Hell, most nights I'm ready for bed and have to wait for him to fall asleep so I can go to bed. He falls asleep in our bed and then I put him in his own so my bedtime has come down to whenever he finally passes out.My roller blades are around 8 years old but are virtually unused, as I can't skate very well. I don't even know how to stop but I manage to stay upright in most cases. The roller blades are cheap and hurt my feet so I'll be buying some new soft boot ones in the next week. Maybe by the end of the summer I'll have finally learned how to stop.I pumped all the water off of the pool cover but there's still a circle of ice 6inches thick with a pile of rotting leaves in the center that has yet to melt. The Hubby thinks we'll have the pool open for my son's birthday (May 31st) but the damn thing has frozen straight to the bottom this year and I'm not so sure it will be possible.The guy that is going to be building the bar for our basement came to take measurements and give a rough estimate. He says between $6-8,000.00!! Can you believe that this price is 30% lower than what most charge?We are sick of redoing the basement ourselves and it takes up way too much time. With all the things we have on the go there's not enough hours in the day to get it finished before the summer, which is what we planned on. We've decided to pay someone else to finish the drywall so we can move on to bigger and better things such as flooring, painting, and furniture. I had a dream that I was in a large building or tower that was one of three standing side by side. I saw a bomb hit the towers through a third persons eye, reducing them to rubble instantly, all the while knowing I was in one of them. I remember wondering in the dream if I would be aware of the nothingness that would come after I died or if I would just cease to be. Must be a bit of the war seeping into my subconscious.Well, that pretty much sums up my week. I told you it was a slow one.
