How fun to see the many S words! I'm not sure my mind will expand enough to play.
I've feed everyone breakfast and set the kitchen up for the day. The bread machine is going. Meals are planned and in progress.
I helped DGD7 take a shower and wash her waist length hair.
I am doing homeschool with DS10 today. Yesterday was such a beautiful day and DS10 had friends here playing outside for most of the day. I decided it was the best use of the day. Today is cold, rainy and not a day for playing outside. So we are doing homeschool assignments that we would have accomplished yesterday.
DH and I had a discussion about our desires of how to spend today. We discussed several options and we are both in agreement.
We have a situation that we are trying to figure out how to proceed. We have lifelong VDFriends that have been without hot water for a month. We didn't know this because they won't ask for help. We only found out because the wife told her best friend and that friend came and whispered it in my ear hoping that we can find a solution. Replacing the HWH is simple - we could just call a plumber and it will happen. However, that would absolutely shame the husband and ruin our 60+ year friendship. About a month ago we installed a handicap access ramp to their home by asking the husband if we could do it for the wife (she uses a walker). We knew it was a delicate balance but DH was able to word it so doing this project didn't hurt VDFriend pride. We don't know how to accomplish the HWH replacement without ruining the friendship. Relationships are give-n-take. We need to find something this VDFriend can do for us.
CPA just called. Our taxes are ready to be picked up. I asked him "Does the IRS want our first born child?" CPA answered "No, you're getting a refund from both the fed and state. DDIL is stuck with him for another year". I love that the CPA gets my weird humor.
