Energy burst

Wow, I don't know what got into me today, but I got so much done! In fact, if this were a one-story house, it would be all clean right now. Maybe I'll have another burst of energy tomorrow and tackle the upstairs.

Besides cleaning, I also took Mike to get his senior picture made (here's hoping they can airbrush out the small gash he got on his forehead last night) and took Annabelle to run a few back-to-school errands.

Speaking of school, can you believe they start back up on Monday? Where did July go? I'm not finished with it yet!
