Yesterday was the first day of my husband’s vacation. He surprised me by taking me out for dinner. Do you all know that this was the first time just him and I went out to eat in over a year? It was nice. Today he has headed into town which will give me some time to get some housework done while he is away. And tonight I have to go into work for a few hours. I didn’t bother taking any extra time off from my job this week as I only work eight hours anyway. So so far the vacation is working out just fine. Now if we just find another day this week to do something with just the two of us, it would be a perfect vacation.

Part of my husband’s job is that he has to be on call 24/7. That means when a machine breaks down day or night, he has to go. Well this happened to him last night. After putting in a ten hour day at his job, he just got home, had his supper and got a phone call. So out the door he went. By the time he got home it was after midnight and he was back up at 6:00 am this morning to do it all over again. I don’t know how he does it. If it were me, I would need to invest in some serious under eye wrinkle cream just to keep up appearances. He’s not impressed these days with the job and neither am I. I really do wish he would look for something else.

Every five years my husband has to have a complete physical to renew his class 1 driver’s licence. Well, the time has come. Actually this time I’m glad he has to go. He hasn’t been feeling good lately and maybe while he’s having his physical, the doctor may discover what’s wrong with him. Who knows, maybe he needs some colon cleansing. I really don’t know what is going on with him but, since he has to go anyway maybe his doctor may be able to help him. He’s not happy that he has to go, but I am!

Normally every year I am sending out all the Christmas parcels during the middle of December. Well this year I am ahead of the game. Over the weekend I picked up all the shipping boxes that I need for my out of town family and tomorrow morning I will be sending them in the mail. How’s that for speed?? Now all I have to do is finish buying gifts for my immediate family, wrap them and have everything else all set for Christmas. Well, at least I’ll have one thing to scratch off my to do list. All I need now is to find the time to get all the other things done just as quickly.

I am starting to feel really old here. Two out of the six of my nieces and nephews are married and have kids of there own. I can remember babysitting them all and changing their diapers and now they are changing their own babies diapers. Well my brother just informed me that the last of his children will be getting married in February. The wedding invitations are already in the mail and I should be expecting mine shortly. Although I won’t be able to attend this wonderful event (they live too far away) my sister in law knows that I still love to receive the invitations anyway. That will be three of the kids married with three more to go. Then it will be time for me to start planning my own kid’s weddings.

My husband has decided that he needs to buy weight loss pills. Last week he noticed that he has put on some serious weight this summer and he is in the frame of mind now that he wants to lose it. He weighs in at over 230 lbs and this does not impress him. His access weight gain doesn’t bother me, but it does bother him so he is going to do something about it. I have tried talking to him and telling him to see his family doctor before taking anything, but he has got it in his head that he needs to start this now. Hopefully he doesn’t go overboard and hopefully I can talk him into going to his family doctor first.

As you all know my husband and I bought a mobile home years ago with the express intent that when we paid it off we would sell it and use the money for a down payment on a house. Well after 10 years, that hasn’t quite happened and I’m beginning to think it never will. Now instead of looking for a house, my husband has been looking at newer mobile homes. His reasoning for all this is that the fact that the kids are getting older so we really don’t need a big house any longer. And if we don’t have to get a huge mortgage then why would we. I just kind of go with the flow as I do realize that he may change his mind in a week or two anyway.

My husband is such a nut bar. On Friday he arrived home from work without his work truck. I just assumed that he left the truck at his work so he wouldn’t be on call for the weekend. Well you can just imagine my surprise when he told me he is now on vacation. Now I get to have him home for an entire week with no warning at all. You never know what kind of surprise he may come up with next. Who knows, maybe he will surprise me with a panama city beach resort vacation. Now wouldn’t that be nice?!

My husband has one more week of holidays left and I think I’ve convinced him to ask for next week off. The reason why I would like for him to have next week off is because my oldest son will be home for a visit and it also the week that both the younger kids will celebrate their birthdays. He had planned on going into work today to see if anyone else has booked that week off. If they haven’t, then he will ask his boss for the week off. Fingers crossed folks that we are not too late.

Well it looks like this is what is going to take place. Last year we bought a brand new pop up camper trailer and have been making monthly payments on it ever since. But so far this year we haven’t been able to use it at all. I’m serious, it has rained every weekend since the kids have been out of school. Well my husband has decided that we are going to take the trailer out this weekend whether it rains or not. And yes, the weatherman is calling for rain all weekend. It’s too bad that we don’t do any rv camping. This way we wouldn’t have to worry about what the weatherman says. But we really need to get some use out of it. So… we will be going camping in the rain this weekend.
