Day 10 of June

I am on a roll!!! (sorry De)
Believe it or not, I have nothing to rant about today, only observations and ponderments (sp).
Well it has been a week since the son left on his exciting journey.  I haven't heard from him yet; and I really don't anticipate hearing from him until after two weeks at least.  The first two weeks he is helping a community become sustainable and I'm sure checking in with Mom is probably the last thing on his mind.  Although I must admit, every time I check my emails, there is that little bit on excitement that maybe, just maybe he had access to some communication device and thought of me. Ahhhhh - to dream.  I have been spending some time each day working on the son's room.  Why?  Because somewhere in there I'm sure there is a bed that should be changed.  I see a small speck of white coming from  what I believe to be the sheets.  Hopefully by the weekend, I will have rescued the sheets and given them some TLC in the washing machine.  Now usually, I don't venture into the "uncharted" rooms of the off spring, but I did warn the son, that if his room wasn't clean before he left, I have owner rights to enter (at my own risk) and remove anything that I deem unnecessary to survival of a human body.  I'm not sure how many juice containers I've removed so far.  And, I've already filled one box of "unused" clothes.  I'm willing to bet that the son has more clothes in his room (I'd say closet, but not all are in the closet ) than most teenage girls.  Besides T-shirts, how many hoodies or soccer jersey's does one person need?  I will keep you posted on any valuable finds that I may come across.  One thing I did find, and this was a little scary.  As I was washing up some pants, as I emptied the pockets (that's where I usually find my Tim Hortons hot chocolate money) I did come across two ticket stubs for Zoo Lights from January 2012.  They were in excellent condition, which means, these pants have not seen the inside of a washing machine in almost 7 months. To be fair, these pants might have not been worn in almost 7 months either.  Because, believe me, he has enough pairs of pants that he could rotate for almost 7 months.
  It looks like the rain has finally stopped.  What to do first - mow the lawn, pull weeds or wash my car?  So many things - so little time before the next rain comes.  Actually from what I remember on the news last night, we might be in for a few days of sunshine.  Thank goodness because the rivers around here are ready to flood and it could be a disaster for lowing lying homes. 
  I have lots more to talk about, but will leave for another day, as laundry calls (or it might be Maya wanting upstairs).
Enjoy the rest of your day.
