I can remember being a kid and it was so cool to trade rooms with my brother. For some reason, his room was so much better than mine (the grass was always greener...). Well, I got to revisit that today when Bro and I traded couches. We rented a U-haul, loaded his couches and some tables, drove them up to my house, unloaded, reloaded, drove and unloaded. I felt like a kid again. Well, at least we now both have furniture that works better in each of our houses. The most important part though is that now I have couches which are much better for snuggling with my hunkka-hunkka hubby on.
Since we were out and about, we decided to embrace insanity and swung by the food court at the mall for dinner with the kids. OMG, it was more crowded than it was a few days before Christmas. If I thought I could stick to it, I would swear off going to any mall within a month before and a week after any major holiday and particularly the day after Thanksgiving. Since I am the president of my local chapter of the Procrastinator's Club (which I keep putting off organizing a meeting for) I just don't see that happening.
I now get to look forward to a couple days of plunder and pilage in my kids rooms to get rid of junk I refuse to move. I forsee several lucrative (for them) trips to the GoodWill in the next couple days. If I remember I will even go in and find some more blankets for the puppies.
I suppose I should go to my workplaces website and see if there are any telework jobs I could transfer to when I move later this week. Hmm, I will give that some thought while I go grab another beer.....
Tender moments My wonderful and loving hunkka-hunkka hubby not only let me sleep in, but went and got me muffins for breakfast. He then woke me up in a wonderful way. Ah...I am so spoiled! Hubby and #1 son are taking down the lights today. While #1 son is distracted with that I get to plunder and pilage his room. I found a blow torch, so it should go fairly quickly. Two more days of hubby being home. I will have to get maximum cuddles in between now and then. I hate it when he leaves. With any luck though, we only have a few weeks until the kids and I can move up there with him. It will be so nice having my family all under one roof every day! The day is beautiful, my family is together and the kids are behaving. What could be more wonderful?
I am truly loved.
