I never sleep well the first night my wife is gone on travel.
She will be getting back home here on Thursday, but the first night is always a bitch. And my retard cat Eddie woke me up at 5:30 this morning with this novel trick that he has discovered of sharpening his feet (Since his claws are long gone) on a cardboard box in the bedroom.
Cat got flung pillow. Box got moved.
We are into the "Good" weather here. Sunny and high 70's low 80's, 60 some odd degrees in the morning. I am hoping the winter is a little less harsh than it was last year when it finally comes. On the list of Things To Do Before Fimbulwinter Falls is buy a new snowblower. My dinky little single stage Toro didn't pack the gear to deal with the amount of snow we got last year, so we are looking at a new two stage blower with a little more "Oomph" going for it. We bit the big one and had a plow service do the absurdly long driveway during the 3 foot drops last winter.
I would have designed the house with a
little less set back from the street if we had built from scratch.
Taking the Eldest to the Orthodontist today for the first leg of her Totally Cool Adventures In Braces experience.
Midday appointment so I am keeping her out of school for the rest of the day and we are going to go mall-ratting afterwards. My Mancub has been vibrating in place for 11 days now and counting off the days on the calender until this VERY date when LEGO BATMAN FOR THE 360 IS COMING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!1111111
Those were almost his first conscious words this morning.
It's nice to be able to spoil the kids a little. I was almost but not quite dirt poor growing up. We make them both work their butts off doing chores and menial tasks, but the perks are pretty good for them.
