I think I should probably participate in NaBloPoMo just to get me back on track with my blogging, because obviously I've fallen off the wagon. I'd like to say we've been busy, but mostly I've been working very hard at trying to nap.
We spent last weekend in Virginia. Dave's parents hosted a family reunion. It was a lot of fun. I shudder to think what the scale is going to say at my next Doctor's appointment. Henry met a lot of family he didn't know he had. On Saturday night while I was putting him to bed he asked what "Grandma and Grandpa and all of his friends were doing upstairs". It was nice to be the only kid in attendance and therefore frequently the center of attention. By the time we had packed up the car to head home on Monday, Henry had worked himself up into quite the case of smitten-ness with one of Dave's Aunts. I sense a trip to Texas to visit with her will be taking place sometime in the near future.
On Tuesday the electricians showed up and spent the next two days installing the central A/C as well as our new heat pump. Henry and I hung around the homefront so that someone was here while they were working. Unfortunately it was rainy both days which meant we were stuck inside with not much to do, so by Wednesday night, although Henry seemed perfectly content, I was losing my mind. On one of those two days I recall asking Dave to take Henry out for dinner so I could have a little peace and quiet. I think I took a shower. I think it was maybe glorious. Meanwhile, everything has been installed and is running beautifully, but unfortunately we've hit a snag with getting our old oil tank out. We have no idea how they got it in, but it appears to be impossible to get out. Something about the height of the tank and the angle of our stairs combined with a wood beam in our basement, etc. etc. Our heating guy really wants it and despite giving it the old college try again on Thursday afternoon, he hasn't given up hope.
Right now Dave is eating leftovers we came home with last night from a birthday party we went to and frankly it smells so good I have no choice but to go and partake myself.
