Well this week have been a bit more hectic than usual. Lisa and I are very spoiled to have her parents live so close to us and that they want to spend time with their grandchildren. Not that my mom wouldn't like to spend more time with our little "angels" (I may have just threw up in my mouth a bit and my nose just grew a few inches) but the logistics of my mom living nearly two hours away doesn't allow for it. Well back to the story. Lisa's parents went on a "blue hair" casino trip this week with friends so they were obvious out of town. Just so happens that we had President's day on Monday so Lisa took the day off from work which isn't a big issue since she could always use a day off. Monday also saw a nice ice storm hit us so school was canceled on Tuesday as well. Since Lisa took the day off on Monday, she put submitting payroll off until Tuesday. So on Tuesday, I took the morning off and Lisa did payroll. We then did the mid day switch and I went to work in the afternoon. Today, Shawn has piano lessons after school so I will leave work early to take him to lessons. I guess what I'm saying is: "Bev and Ted, get your rear-ends home!" We depend on you entirely too much, please don't get sick of the kids and thank you for all you do to help us be able to both work full time.
The rest of the week looks to be busy as well. Tonight, I pick up Bev and Ted us from their travels on the Blue Hair Express; hopefully with more money than they took with them. Tuesday looks to be a normal day and then Lisa and I will be off on Friday getting prepared for the kids joint family birthday party that we are having on Saturday. It's always good to have these family parties because the house gets a good cleaning and there are plenty of people around to help me drink my home brew.
This should be the last birthday party until next year. Instead of a kid party for Shawn we are taking him on a quick trip to Chicago during his intersession week off in March. We found a condo for rent on the 52 floor of a building in Downtown Chicago. I'm looking forward to the views of Chicago from such a high vantage point....I think. We'll end up seeing a few sites like maybe the aquarium and of course a trip to the Lego store and American Girl to accumulate more plastic junk for the kids.
That's the update for now. Have a good rest of the week!
