Just Simply Jen

Today I had something I don't think I've had since I moved away from my family 9 years ago. Today my father and I spent several hours together, just the two of us, no distractions at all. It was so nice. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed visiting with my stepmom and sister too, but this was something I have craved for years. It was nice. We drove around a little and then we went and sat at starbucks for at least an hour. After that I had to hit a bathroom so we went to Ross because they have the closest one and while there he bought my son some new shorts, which he needed thanks to a nice growth spurt. They love buying stuff for my son. I had never been in a Ross before and was asking about prices for boys clothing and that led to him buying the shorts. That place has some amazing prices. We found nike brand shorts for 4 dollars. That was something else! I will totally be shopping there for myself and my house in the future.
Anyway. My son is cracking me up today because for the first time in a long time my house is really clean. I'm not the neatest person. I've inherited that from my mom and am seriously trying to break it but it wasn't happening. We cleaned and cleaned and it looks nice and my son is in heaven. We're learning he functions more clearly in an organized environment. Guess what I will be doing over the next few weeks! I'm liking it for myself as well. I think I might be able to do some maintaining much easier than before. One thing we found out when we were getting organized is that we have a TON of books. I never knew we had so many. Most of them are mine but my husband has a lot from his college days. Religious studies sure brought out a bunch of books.
