I felt my grandson move today!

There isn’t anything else more amazing than that to share today.

Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter.

Big sigh.

I like Beyonce well enough.

I like the song “All the Single Ladies” well enough.

But is it really ALL that?  Really??

I don’t believe I will EVER tire of Calvin and Hobbes.   Ever.

Out with the new and in with the new!

Hubby and I finally got our tempurpedic mattress after we turned from the Christmas cruise.   Yay, right?  No, not yay.      I TOLD him that not to downsize to a queen size.   But NOOOOOO – he wanted to be “close.”   Yeah, yeah … we’ve been through all of this.

We’re switching out for a king size!  I ordered it today!   It will be here in about a week – two at the most.

Snuggling up in a queen size bed for a weekend away or while you’re staying with friends is one thing … doing it every night?   Never again!

Ooh – that reminds me – I need to go order some sheets!

My beautiful, wonderful, kind, loving and compassionate daughter brought home another report card with two D’s and one very low C.   So, I did it.   I took her phone.

I don’t believe I’ve ever really punished her for anything.   Not really.

I told her if the grades are up by her next progress report – which is three weeks from now – that she can have the phone back.

It’s been less than 24 hours and I’m wanting to cave.   I can’t cave.   I just can’t.

How come I’m the one that feels like crap when she’s the one getting punished?

My hubby is mad at me because I don’t like chicken wings.  

He swears I do.   Yet I’ve never ordered chicken wings and he’s never seen me eat chicken wings.   I despise chicken wings.

He’s barely talked to me since Friday night because I don’t like chicken wings.   (Who knew it was that easy? Ha Ha Ha!) 

Is there a full moon out there?

What the hell??????

Why can’t we have all Fridays before Monday holidays off too?

Why can’t we go with a four day work-week?   We’d still work more than we’re off, so that seems fair to me.

Why can’t shoes fit … all of them … all of the time?  And why is my local Easy Spirit closing?   It’s really hard to try on shoes online.

Why can’t I have a maid?   Or at least a cook?

Why can’t the Federal retirement age be 50?

Why do I have to bite my tongue so often?

and last, but not least …

Why?

Got answers?   Got your own “Why” … feel free to add them.

Hubby asks me to spend a few minutes with him to go over the floor plan for converting the garage into an apartment.   I throw out the idea of having the bath closed off (of course) and having a nursery with walls and a door (instead of the walk-in closet originally planned) … and other than than – leaving the entire area open.   That way the kids can arrange furniture how they like and although there won’t be a separate bedroom and living area – it’s temporary and the kids will be just fine.

Hubby adamantly (reads … getting all frustrated) tells me that we can’t do that.   He says the area next to the bathroom will be a   huge walk-in closet and that it can’t change because after the kids  move out it’s going to be a wet-bar for his “man-room.”   He says he needs to run plumbing to the area and it just can’t be a nursery.

He continues to ask for my input on the room and I get flustered because  anything I say, he says we can’t do … that it ‘has’ to be this way or that way.   I ask ‘what, exactly, do you want my input on then?’   Seems what he wanted was for me to  get to the online site I used to lay out the floor plan (and if you ever  need something like that – search for Bassestt Room Planner – it’s awesome … you can add walls, windows – it has just about every size or piece of furniture you could want to drop in to your room.)

After an hour of messing around with this – hubby has a GREAT idea.   What about if we put the nursery where he had originally wanted the closet and then just left the rest of the area open?

Ummmm, ok.   GREAT idea.
