Monday is a holiday - Martin Luther King day. The office will be closed and I must say, I never tire of a long weekend. Last weekend we let the cousins know that we were not going to have anyone over to the house (instead, we planned a family focused weekend). They'd been coming over every single weekend for months and I think we were all a little exhausted with entertaining - even the kids. For our weekend, we didn't do anything special really, just hung out together, relaxed, and went to the movie show to see "The Guardians". To my amazement the house did not become a complete disaster area (unlike those weekends that we have the cousins over). It was all really nice and we enjoyed it. This weekend, however, the kids will likely start trickling over Friday evening and stay until late Monday.
Corey says that Miranda has a doctors appointment on Friday morning so they'll be heading this way. He'll be strolling in Thursday evening sometime. Miranda never stays with us. After all the past drama, and with their relationship hanging by a thread these days, I suppose they just prefer it this way. I do - I prefer to just be "out of it" until they get things figured out for themselves.
Aaron and Jr are still just hanging out. Not working. Not going to college. Just playing games. I'm looking forward to our home renovations and using that time to rearrange our living situation (making them a little more uncomfortable).
I've piled a lot of work on the kids tonight. I've felt with all the holidays, they've had plenty of time off and getting back into the swing of things has been slow-going. So, this is the repercussions.
Today is day three that Roy has fallen flat on his New Year's resolutions. Sucks. I was really enjoying the change, but I should have known that it wouldn't last too. As Mr. Shakespeare put it, "Expectation is the root of all heartache" and so, it seems, the abandonment of our New Year's Resolutions seem set the stage.
I'm making enchiladas this weekend! One hundred of them! Because I know we'll have a full-house (plan to take some plates to Roy's parents and my mom as well.
I haven't heard the squirrels much lately. Wonder if they've moved on... ?
