Happy Tuesday

Dec 18th, 2007

I have not been a very good updater lately. With the family all taking turns being sick, and the fast approaching holiday, I haven’t had much time on my hands. I have been trying to take a bunch of day off from work in order to make sure I don’t loose any vacation time. I will be off for the entire week starting December 24th which will give me some time to get the house in order, as well as my personal finances, and my blogging.

We are just about ready for Christmas around the house. We finished up our shopping over the weekend and took a family picture, which my wife had wanted for so long, so we gave it to her for her birthday, which was also last weekend. The only thing left is to decide what we are actually doing. The fact that her parents are not really speaking to us, has kind of held them up, but we have decided that we will make plans without them, and then fit in a quick visit if they decide to speak to us.

I won’t bore with the details of the why’s but feel free to see the category in-laws if you want to learn more about them. This time it is pretty much because we don’t feel the need to consult them on our parenting decisions. I have gotten past the point where I feel it necessary to try and make nice with them, as I will not continue to stand by and let them treat my wife the way they do, and my wife I know appreciates the support, and they don’t like the fact that I don’t really require their opinion or consent for our immediate families concerns.

Other than that I did finish the wallpaper border yesterday which made the nursery almost complete. The only thing left to do is get a dresser. We are thinking that we may be able to find one inexpensively somewhere that I can refinish.

I have been collecting a large amount of things that I think would make awesome blog topics, but will have to hold those off until later this week.

Until then enjoy a clip of a great impression.
