A week's vacation...for T-Dad
So T-Dad (go visit his blog and leave comments, he feels left out.) has vacation he needs to waste. You know, he gets so many days a year and doesn't use them, so he's got to waste 'em or lose 'em. Rough life, honey. So T-Dad isn't shaving this week, is in his favorite shirt and shorts, eats hot dogs for lunch, watching baseball until midnight, etc. But never fear, he's not totally leading a life of leisure. Because hey, that just wouldn't be fair. He's got a "Honey Do" list a mile long and all the drop off/pick up duties for the kids. First and foremost on the list is getting rid of half of our crap. So far he's actually been working really hard on organizing the garage. We have a ton of stuff that we've never unpacked since we moved last year. Just boxes on top of boxes (all of which we've dug through looking for one thing or another over the last year). So needless to say we need to just get rid of it, since we've managed to live without it for an entire year. How do we end up with all this crap? Aargh! I am so looking forward to next week, after we decrease our stuff by at least 1/4. Honestly, I'm so jealous that he gets to stay home all week and work on this. I really wish I could be there. I mean he's good at preparing the piles to be looked through and getting rid of the "easy" stuff. But I'm the one who ultimately knows/cares whether or not this kitchen corning ware dish is useful and needs to be kept or junk. I've been kind of hard on him this week. Second guessing how he's spending his time and such. I'm trying to lay-off and just be happy with anything he gets done. And I've even said he's free to go golfing a couple of times if he wants. He should really nominate me for Wife of The Year, I know. So the really good news is....we are taking the kids to T-Dad parents and spending the weekend together...alone...cleaning our house. I am so excited! (He is too as you might guess, HA! Its not like he's just spent a week working in our junk filled, dirty garage.) But we are also going to go on a date on Saturday to 88 Broadway. He's hoping I have a few too many, I'm sure.

You SHOULD get a "Wife of the Year" award! Actually, I think we all deserve one!
Have a good time this weekend. I keep thinking that if only I had a weekend without kids I could accomplish SO much! I don't see it happening anytime soon, though.
Ha Ha! He's like here Honey, take one more sip...
He has been fiercely working on that garage. And he mowed the lawn yesterday during my, I mean, the kids naptime. So he gets some props. I know if Sam had a week off he would probably play Xbox the whole time =)
Ooooh...give us a review of 88 Broadway!
And for sure, drink up! Make him drink, too, and take a cab home! Let the Lemonade house be a den of sin for one night. :)
Quigs- HA! Den of Sin. Hilarious!
Oooh, let me know what the cover prices is at 88 Broadway so I can update the moms night out there in September. :-)
Isn't Den of Sin how you got 2 kids?
