Because last week was sleepover week, I have designated this week as cleaning week. My sons make no secret about their dislike of assigned jobs that start with "Clean up the. . ." and end with ". . . kitchen." or ". . . living room." or ". . . guinea pig cage." But today I discovered something truly wonderful. My boys can organize stuff. I'm pretty sure they didn't learn it from me. This morning RO organized the spices, kitchen utensils, and cake decorating items that were living temporarily on the window sill while JO organized ALL the board games downstairs. And they enjoyed themselves immensely. I have so many nooks and crannies that need the attention of a happy organizer or two. I am writing a very different job list for the rest of the week. The closets, the books, the office supplies, the garage toys. . . this is going to be such fun!
In other news, I applied for a full-time teaching position as a homeschooling teacher for our school district. I will be monitoring homeschoolers from my home computer. The job would start in September and the posting closes tomorrow. I am hoping for an interview and keeping my fingers crossed!

Not Another Downtown Freeway Fix
During the summer months, my husband hangs out on freeways, off-ramps, and busy city streets. He oversees construction and repairs of state roads. It's gritty and ugly work sometimes. His jobsites are often filled with smells of exhaust and hot asphalt. That's all about to change. He still has the same job for now, but he will be in quite a different environment. Some engineers have all the luck! Ben went north an hour and a half today to see his late August/early September jobsite. Aside from the fact that he'll be on a bridge and way too far removed from solid ground for my liking, I'm a little envious!
