Household Chores

Next week I am leaving for the entire week for a work seminar, and Rick has decided to milk free time to himself leading up to my departure, as.much.as.he.possibly.can. One golf outting has turned into 2, plus poker tonight with the boys. That's alright, I'll more than make up for it by taking 3 naps a day in my hotel all by myself, and going out to dinner every night, relaxing, with no bored family members trying to escape from our booth. Oh sure, I'll be listening to important, informative information while I'm there....but in between, yeah, that's where I'll enjoy the good stuff and boy will he be jealous. I wouldn't be surprised to see him at my hotel door on day 2, sans kids.

Anyway, in his absense tonight, while he is off making the big bucks with all of his royal flushes, the kids and I are home taking care of some household chores. We've been putting them off, and felt the time had come to just get our hands dirty and take care of some business.

We filled some canning jars

We fed the cat

We slammed the door & stopped an intruder from coming in

We made funny faces

We taught the neighbor that we don't like trespassers

We studied some artifacts

Displayed our love for the movie Scream

And tried to address our spider problem.

Boy, do we have a spider problem.

 

All joking aside, of course I am going to miss my family INCREDIBLY. I think the most I've ever left them at one time was 3 days, and this time it will be 5. At least Rick will have plenty of time to clean up spiderwebs.
