Good for you for cleaning the garage and taking a chance with the gas on the lawn mower. I've had a couple things I've had to deal with that didn't go exactly as planned and it was H who looked bad, not me. I got the A effort and he got the F for neglecting his responsibilities!
Thanks Jenny. I have to get the tree down too. It looks so pretty that I don't want to take it down, but if you breathe on it there is a shower of needles. My MIL looked at it the other day and studied it w/out saying anything. She has given us a TON of ornaments over the years and none of them were on the tree. It has snowflakes my mom made and then glass santas and snowmen. The Ds and I love the homey look. We had planned to put up our artifical tree for the other ornaments, but never got to it. I told MIL this so hopefully I didn't offend her too much. I guess I could have said I would have done it if I didn't have to leave my house two evenings a week so your son can play dad without me making him uncomfortable.
