Darn computers! No matter how good they get, they still have more problems than I care to deal with at times. There's been some strange thing going on with our ISP. First the service went out entirely for two days, then when it was supposed to be fixed (yesterday), it starts turning itself off and on--at will. So, needless to say, I never got back on last night to update my "Todo List". So, I will do it now, as well as talk about the things I have to get done today.
Yesterday's Todo List:-- I got the dogs fed, supper made, the kitchen cleaned, and some of the laundry done. I never got to the canning part-- Oh, I did get the living room changed around, so now I have somewhere for all my crafts that are going on.
My day got thrown all out of wack, when my hubby came home early. Its like the world has to stop and revolve around him once he comes home--grrrr. We're all supposed to stop what we're doing and watch him--watching TV! There's an invention that we could do without--at least when my husband is home.
Our son, 5, was determined that he wanted us to put the tree up NOW, and after much grumbling and protesting from my husband, well we got it done. Its not that big of a deal, just a little thing that we've had for the last couple of years. But my hubby thinks its a piece of crap and of course wants to buy a bigger and better one, so he didn't want to even pull it out of the shed. He did nothing except put on the lights, Jr. and I did the rest, all the while he watched TV and grumbled... after he put the lights on and set the tree in its place, he made the comment, "it looks gay" to which I said "Daddy, its nice that you think our tree looks so HAPPY and CAREFREE, but you don't need to phrase it quite like that in front of our son."
I hope to get a camera today, so I can post a picture of our HAPPY tree for all to see-- and yes the week before Thanksgiving. Who made the rule that you have to wait until after Turkey-day to put the tree up-- certainly not a 5 year old. From the time the last candy cane was hung on the tree until he went to bed, all our son did was stare at it in amazement. He was so happy he was bouncing. Kids don't care about "bigger and better" and shouldn't be taught that, that's what's important. I guess that's why we're lucky to have a two parent household-- one to show him all the things the world thinks he should have and one to show him what he really needs. You know, after reading that last sentence, I'm not sure which "child" that was referring too: My husband or my son.
