That’s right, it’s 4am and I’m up. I had a bit of a headache last night and didn’t sleep that well. I’d tell you all how beautiful the colors are outside (as my wife does so eloquently) but it’s just black. The misses and I are cutting back on coffee from our usual 6+ cups a day to 1! I think this is the reason for my aching head, caffeine is a powerful drug.
My backs getting better every morning but I can still feel it a bit when I move a certain way. Mom’s friends arrive from Idaho today. I think there are 5 of them! Husband and wife, a 9 year old girl and 5 Â year old twin boys. Thankfully they will be staying close by at the Marriott and not here. I need to ship some wine (and go pick some up) today but might put it off again as I have to get this back back to normal. Mom took both boys to Walmart for 2 pair of jeans each as the oldest doesn’t have any that don’t have holes in the knees. When she got home she noticed they didn’t charge her for one pair. (apparently she dropped one on the way to the register and told the girl to charge her as she’d go back and pick them up but the girl didn’t charge her!) We called Walmart and asked for the manager and told him what had happened and he was in a state of shock that we actually called saying we didn’t get charged and owe them for a pair of jeans. His comment was something like, “no one has ever called and said we forgot to charge them for something”. Anyhow we’ll go back today and do the right thing.
The youngest ended up in our bed again and joined me downstairs at about 4:45. I made a couple of eggs for me and he’s had his first breakfast (he’s usually good for at least two, maybe three) of the morning. It’s nearing the end of the month again which means we’re ending the bottom of the bank account. Time to break out the pasta again. Spring Break starts this Friday at 2:45 sharp and runs for the next 9 days! Mom works all weekend (again) but does have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off. I’ll need to coordinate my week to be able to keep the boys occupied next Thursday and Friday. We’re planning out our tree house in the backyard so if my backs all better, maybe we can get started on that. We’re headed to California in a few weeks for the big 80th birthday bash for the wife’s Mom. From what I understand, it’s 3 days of consecutive parties. 80 is a pretty big deal, good for her.
Most of you really don’t respond to the blog so it’s hard for us to tell who’s reading or not. Maybe I should tell you all the wife is pregnant, let’s see if that’ll get any response! God help us if that’s true, as we’re busy enough. By the way to leave a comment, just scroll down to the end of the days post and fill in the information where it says “leave a reply”. Let’s see who can do this! There might be some kind of prize or major award for one of you randomly chosen from all entries, good luck, you could win an empty cereal box or a worn out pair of jeans or tennis shoes, you could bronze them! (all applicable taxes are the responsibility of the winner)
Take care and God Bless,
