Boy, I am the meanest mom in the world right now. I instituted a chore chart! 
I know, I know....you may commence the tomato throwing now. 
You'd think that I told Oldest Princess to cut off her arm and serve it on a silver platter.

Sometime before Christmas, as I came home from work, I realized that my inflatable Mickey in my yard was gone. I had sworn it was there when I left. Anyway, I was heartbroken, but not as bad as I could have been. See, a few days before, I had unplugged him waiting for him to dry out so I could try to patch the hole that had appeared in his arm. I found it kind of amusing that someone stole him and then when they went to plug him in, he'd have this big hole.
Fast forward to last night....a lady down the street stopped by and said that some kids had invited themselves over to a party her kids were having. She found later that the Mickey was at the party too. She realized it was ours when she didn't see it in our yard anymore because she said she liked our decorations and always noticed them. Long story short, her kids couldn't get these kids to leave and come to find out this lady found them living in her attic!!! Anyway, her kids were afraid to bring Mickey back because they thought that we'd think they were the ones who stole him. Craig just told her to go ahead and throw it away since he had a gaping hole anyway. I hope to find another next year.

I started the day off by cleaning youngest Princess's room. She couldn't find her scissors, you know, one of the 834 that she has. Didn't find them, but at least her room is cleaned now. We went to Target and got her soccer cleats and shin guards, oh, and picked up a pair of scissors ;) From there, we came home and I went through her drawers and cleaned them out and started organizing my mountain of clean laundry. Got all of her uniform clothes in one spot and went through them weeding out the ones that were too small. I ended up putting them all in one drawer, but since I did that, her pants don't fit in the dresser, so they'll have to go in her wire cubby. Anyway, got her clothes all organized and put away and got her to bed. I then ironed her clothes for tomorrow and then sat down and put her name on every single crayon, every pencil and every marker & lid. Hopefully she won't lose anything. ;) Oh yeah, somewhere in the middle of all that, I mowed the lawn so that if we're able to do pictures out there tomorrow (it's supposed to rain), the grass won't be looking like a jungle in the background.
During all this, Oldest Princess was cleaning up her room and organizing her closet. Craig hung a new rod in there so she has more room for hanging things. I need to go back to work tomorrow just to rest. hehehe
So anyway......let school begin!
Look at these cute Flags. Youngest Princess would love the horse windsock. Hmmm, birthday and Christmas are coming. I'd never thought of it before, but that would be a great gift for her because she'd see it every day and it wouldn't be some silly toy that would break or lose its pieces.
I can't believe it's already September! Oh, hey, don't forget about Halloween coming up. Are you looking for adorable Halloween decorations? Look no further! Christmas isn't that far away either! I am absolutely in love with the "Star of Bethlehem" flag.
That being said, my favorite season is Spring. I think because of my love for flowers and gardens. I love, love, love these garden flags. With everything on sale, I'm thinking I need more than one, but don't tell Craig!! hehehe

Ok, so today I cleaned younger Princess' room. Every time she'd go in there, she'd get flea bites. Makes total sense, the cat loves her room for some reason. We try to keep the door shut, but sometimes it just happens. Princess had left her bottom drawer of her dresser open, so what did I find in there this morning? Yep, Sweet Pea, staring up innocently at me. I feel sorry for the cat, but since she's gotten the flea medicine, she should feel better soon.
Wouldn't you know it. I posted about fleas and then I heard a commercial for diy network and it was a little commercial about fleas. I go to their website and I can't find it. Waaaaaah
ETA: I found it! Yay!! Here it is in case you're interested! http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/pac_ctnt_988/text/0,2829,DIY_24936_62106,00.html

UGH! Our cat, Sweet Pea, has fleas! Now we all have fleas. Of course, I've been telling a certain someone (I don't deal with the cat if I can help it. This was known up front before the cat came into the home) that she needs the flea stuff; she's been scratching an awful lot. I keep getting told that she's got dry skin. Guess who found fleas???? UGH!
One area of our house that really needs attention is the garage. My poor Cherokee has been evicted from the garage since the Christmas decoration boxes have been put out there waiting to move to the attic. These boxes are where the Cherokee is supposed to go because the rest of the garage is so unorganized.
I would love to have some garage organization ! I would love to get some cabinets like these. Craig would like them because they look great and are stainless steel. He'd finally have some organization for all his tools!

Well, weigh-in this week was a dud. I didn't gain (Yahoo!!) but I didn't lose either (Boo!!). LOL I'll take it though. Anything other than a gain, I'll take.
I've been trying to do more yardwork. Wow, our backyard is just a jungle of weeds. I've now gotten the area around the garden done and am working on the side of the house. We need to get some gravel to put down along the side I think. I'm hoping that will help keep the weeds down a bit.
