She seems to find any horizontal, soft surface on which to recline (right in the middle of all the holiday detritus). Then she gets crabby if I shoo her off. Today, I'm letting her stay. The kidlets have gone to Granny and Buster's house. Hub has gone to see the status of his latest job (he's a contractor and since the surgery, he's been unable to work - no lifting). The house is mine and it's quiet. There's no shouting or bickering going on. It's heaven. They'll be gone until New Year's Eve - we have 2 whole evenings to act like adults instead of parents!!
Here's what we did yesterday:
That's my newphew on the left and Little Big Man on the right. Hub had a bunch of tickets to the Great Lakes Invitational hockey tournament at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. The tickets were free, but let me tell you - the beer and pizza definitely weren't! It was a whole afternoon of hockey goodness and it was a lot of fun. Sassy was a little distressed when we told her there were 2 games being played and we were staying for both, but she survived.
I have the whole week off and very little that I HAVE to do. I don't think I'm getting dressed today. There's Coke in the fridge and plenty of chocolate. Life is good.
