We celebrated my husbands 47th birthday this weekend! Wow, it is hard to believe that we have been together for 19 years. Time is going by crazy fast. He had a poker night with his brother, nephew and a few friends. He took lots of naps. He got to chill and watch super boring TV with no hassles. He got his requested lasagna dinner, and we had the family over to enjoy it. He doesn't ask for a lot, and I believe he really enjoyed himself. He got a special surprise yesterday, as our 10 year old gave him a huge loaf of sharp cheddar (has to be like 5 lbs at least) that he bought him with his very own money. Jeff loves cheese. Tomorrow two of his very dearest, and oldest friends, the Leonardi brothers, come to town. Not a bad 47th! Now I'll be under a little pressure for his 50th, but I have a few years to figure that out!
I am swirling in chaos! Our little remodeling projects, ie: painting the boys rooms, have resulted in a whirl of mess, mess, mess. My husband has been diligently painting walls, repurposing furniture, meanwhile all of the clothing, shoes, toys, junk, furniture we are no longer using, etc... is lining the hallways and rooms of my house! We have tried to engage the boys in this project, but it has somehow eluded them that they have any responsibility for putting the house back together, so it it a painful exercise of command and whine. Today, we must put it back, we cannot start the week in madness. So my day, is going to be interesting. They need to help, a lot. I need to figure out how to motivate them to help, without them feeling like they are being tortured. Wish me luck, at 10:30, video games, and NFL TV go off, and cleaning commences. I'd better have another cup of coffee, and pray for the next half hour, I'm gonna need it.
