Wow, it's dead in here today! No posts since lunchtime. Guess everyone must be getting along splendidly, maybe gettin' down 'n dirty on the living room floor! Yeah, like THAT's gonna happen, lol!
FINALLY finished the EFFIN' paint project!!!! Quarter to six in the effin' afternoon.. had to go to the office right after church for a couple hours, then painting since then. Man, I'm tired! She's still going around looking for spots to fix - she's SUCH a freakin' perfectionist. I'm not a slob, really - she wants even the edges behind the drapes to be perfect. Ho, hum...
This next week's gonna be a DRAG. Next weekend is Easter, which means in-law invasion. Not too bad, really... her parents, and her brother and his wife & 2 kids, plus her "old" friend (since high-school), her husband and 3 kids (she has 2 adopted, but is fostering a baby in the bargain). So there'll be, let's see... 6 adults, 4 kids in the 5-8 age range plus the five of us - fifteen people. Preparation for this, of course, will be intense.
Add to that the appointments due this week - her C, and optometrist, not sure what else, but the kids also have full schedules this week. I do wish I could convince her to slow down a bit and "smell the roses" - we don't get a lot of time on this earth, and she's wasting great gobs of it, imho. There's ALWAYS more "work", but there's a REAL shortage of time to "play".
Tonight's "big event" will be the season finale of "American Dreams". It'll be tight getting supper done and the house put back in enough semblance of order to allow us to watch in time. She was PLANNING on roasting a chicken for supper, but I talked her into buying one already roasted, to save time. I just couldn't see making it, otherwise.
I plan to give her "the letter" after the show. As far as I'm concerned, she can either read it then, or read it tomorrow, as long as she reads it. It might actually be better if she reads it when I'm at work, so she has to think about it for a long time before we can discuss it. Dunno... have to see what actually happens. I'll post the results (and the letter) up here by tomorrow...
