T. G. I. F. !!

Only a half day of school today improved g-son's mood greatly this morning. 
Now if I can get over a very restless, little sleep night this day will be fine.
My nose stopped up and burned during the night causing my restlessness. By the time I realized sleep wasn't going to be easy it was too late for a dose of Nyquil.
The clouds are thick and low but the rain hasn't gotten to our area yet.
I did chores and had breakfast then listened to the rainy weekend forecast trying to decide how many cakes to bake for tomorrow.
I baked 3 chocolate, 4 pound and a blackberry wine cake before lunchtime.
After lunch I vacuumed and mopped all my floors. Today I tried out diluted Murphy's Oil soap on all my laminate floors. It did good, bringing out the shine but not making them slick.
As I ran out of energy my walking video got omitted today especially with my yucky non sleep stupor that is hanging on this afternoon.
I finally gave into a nap but to my surprise couldn't go to sleep.
Rebekah brought her two sisters who are visiting for Evy's first birthday  over and I met them.
She reminded me to get out g-son's old ball pit from he was small for the babies to play in at the party tomorrow.
When hubbie got in from work he brought the ladder in and crawled up in the storage space in the sunroom and got that down along with several other forgotten items that will come in handy.
All the balls that go with the pit were not there so when g-son got here this evening to spend the night I had to ask him what happened the them.
He is spending the night so his mom and dad can go have a nice dinner and night out with daughter for her birthday.
When I asked him about the balls he immediately ran to the big toy chest in his room so I thought he would come back with a big bunch of the balls, instead he brought out about six balls. He thought he had found all I was looking for and when I asked if he knew where there were any more he said well he was playing with some in the barn.  Hmmm !!!  a trip to Walmart got penciled into my evening plans !!!
After chores and supper we headed out to Walmart, of course g-son was glad because that is one of his favorite places especially since we were going to the toy isle !!!
He also likes the chicken nugget happy meals from the Mcdonalds in the store.
We found our bag of balls and got our nuggets and were home to enjoy the rest of the evening.
 When g-son was searching under his bed for the balls he found his etch-a-sketch which was the evenings entertainment for him. He would draw things and his Pawpaw tried to identify them. He had a blast !!
I iced cakes and wrapped all the pound cakes while hubbie helped wash all the eggs. I am now getting about 8 dozen eggs each week to sell over what we use so my girls are earning their feed now.
Got the balls in the pit and now we just have to keep g-son out of it as he says he is going to sleep in it tonight !!!

My dose of Nyquil tonight will assure that another restless night won' t happen,plus I don't have to get up at 7am tomorrow morning.
Grateful to God for the blessings of this day and for the sleeping g-son beside me in my bed tonight.
Good Night and God Bless.
