It started out with a vision. To replace a window in the dining room. Now, we have a gaping hole in the house the size of Cleveland. It’s to be expected when you live in a house as old as ours. The window was leaking, the walls had dry rot and were mushy. Turned out to be a bigger project than Dee anticipated. Dee and I don’t do do-it-yourself projects together, it doesn’t work and almost always ends up close to divorce. So, I’ve stayed as far away from the dining room today as I can. Mary’s advice to me this morning, knowing how Dee and I are about projects involving the house was this, “Dee knows what she’s doing. It may not seem logical to you and I but the best thing for your marriage would be for you to babygate yourself and the kids in the living room and stay there for the day while Dee puts this mess back together.” Golden advice.

Carlos is having a rough go of the time change and his little body is not adjusting. Both he and Trey have been up at the butt-crack of dawn for the last two mornings, and in that I mean pre-6am. I NEED SOME SLEEP! For some reason I’ve been having creepy, disturbing dreams plus I haven’t been falling asleep easily so the getting up early is rough. Hoping they will adjust here soon and our sleep patterns will get back to normal (or at least normal for us). Pull it together here boys!

Tomorrow should be fun. We’re meeting Nana at Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. It’s a nightmare of a place, I know, but I’m hoping a Wednesday lunch won’t be so busy. The boys are going to love it. They think video games are cool even without any money in them so it shouldn’t be all that expensive. As long as Trey doesn’t pull a “Nathan” and refuse to come out of the tubes when it’s time to go then we’re good.
