Today was the first day of another staycation. We’ve got a few things planned to do together but really it’s a week for getting more things done. Josh’s dad has been struggling the past couple of weeks with his health. They’ve been in and out of the ER two times in the past week and almost went again today. If something doesn’t show up on a scan they send you home, even if the pain is rated 15 out of 10.

The kids and I spent some of the day going through clothes. With camp over I wanted everyone to clean out their camp bags and put things way. All of them were supposed to go through their drawers, which is something we didn’t get to do thoroughly when we rearranged and cleaned up their rooms. The kids like their rooms and I feel pretty confident that things will be able to stay picked up for the most part.

I can’t remember if I summarized already what got done. We had the upstairs bedroom that had the carpet taken out and new floors put in. We repainted the walls with a fresh lighter shade. That room is now very open and tidy. The two downstairs boy bedrooms are now as well. I also deep cleaned our bedroom and closet, pantry, linen closet, pictures, parts of the kitchen and schoolroom, and scrubbed both tubs.
