Posts Tagged ‘wive’s remodeling itch’
My wife took our youngest into the doctor, and while in town stopped at the Menard’s home store and picked up some brochures on kitchen counter tops. Of course you can imagine where this is leading to? A complete kitchen remodel! Not that I am against the remodel, but right now is not the best time in light of the fact that other things are planned this summer. But I was able to explain all that would be involved and we were able to agree on holding off. A smile or two did not hurt here either!
To my wife’s delight, I shaved my beard this day.
Yesterday went very well. My wife was very happy with my happy demeanor. And she was also very happy that I put up our (her) new ceiling fan, which involved over 3 hours since the instructions contained some errors! So I think she would have been happy even without the smiles.
Otherwise, I did some gardening. The kids were mostly gone at their friends or out with my wife so I did not see much of them. So it was just me and the garden, and the fan, and my happy wife.
This day featured me working with my distance ed classes from home. Again, no contact with people outside my family. And I was quite busy most of the day so I had little time for interaction. Besides my kids returning smiles (except for my oldest, who was in a funk), my wife decided to do a bit of spring cleaning in the evening, taking all the pictures off walls and items off shelves, which I appreciate. But . . . then she got the wive’s remodeling itch! Uh oh! There was talk of new paint, changes to the walls, and more. And once this gets going, who knows where it might end! But I kept up with the smiles, and tried to be agreeable. And you know what, maybe it worked! Fingers crossed, we may get by without repainting and other work!
