Luckily I was excused from jury duty today as I have too much to do. It was cold yesterday but we were sparred the snow that was forecast. Mom had her teeth cleaned and I made a trip to Fed Ex with 20 some boxes of wine to ship around the country. I think I have about 40 more cases to go and then should be done. Gas is about $4 a gallon which means it’s now about $260 to fill up both cars, are you kidding me! We had the plumber here for his monthly visit to fix yet another leak and he left with another $150 of our money for about 45 minutes of work. we also have another hole in the drywall, this time in the laundry room. The misses says we’re going to have to install stereo speakers in all these holes around the house. The microwave handle finally broke off and the “wave” itself now only works about half the time. It’s getting pretty comical around here, the misses calls it the money pit. Don’t count on a new microwave anytime soon as there’s a lot of things ahead of that luxury on the list.
Our oldest boys latest thing when upset at me is to call me (indirectly through his mother) a jack wagon! It’s just too funny to get mad at him, the misses and I just laugh. Whenever I reprimand him for something, he’ll tell his mother, Dad’s such a jack wagon. At least he’s not using the other word! I’m willing to take one for the team as long as he does his chores or changes his behavior, I’ll go ahead and be a jack wagon. The youngest had a good day and got 10 out of 10 on his weekly spelling test and 3 out of 5 on his challenge words. (challenge words are optional and much tougher)
Mom works 10:30 to 7pm and I’m off to Boulder to the farm to meet with the man that supplies us with fresh vegetables from March to October. Being local and straight out of the ground, they sure are good. The oldest has soccer practice this afternoon (here we go again) unless they cancel due to poor field conditions. Bob the fish is still hanging in there. Both dogs are in and playing and it’s now time to start breakfast.
Mom’s grabbing for the computer and it’s time to get going. It doesn’t matter when we get up each morning, we always run short of time in the am. Hope all of you have a good day and are safe and happy.
