Ding Dong, the kids are gone!

Today the kids went back to school, holiday break is over for them. (Can't call it 'Christmas' break anymore, wouldn't be PC, ya know!) It was nice. I set my alarm for 6:40, which is when I am usually done getting up, getting the dogs out to pee, and have had a shower and am all dressed and done in the bathroom. I did the rounds, woke everyone up and parked my ass at the dining room table to corral, coerce and generally herd the crew out the door.

Then, I went back to bed.

Beautiful, I tell ya!

JP and I did not do much today, he messed around with the Tivo thingy, I did a little grocery shopping, we 'enjoyed' our time alone in the house, and then, after the kids got home... I MADE DINNER...AGAIN!!

Tomorrow I have to get the house clean, the in-laws are coming up starting Friday. I must have laundry done at the very least. JP's mother uses bleach on everything, colors, whatever. And she washes EVERYTHING in hot water. It's just better if I have all laundry done before she shows up and offers to 'help'.

I have started a grocery list for the food for Saturday when the majority of the in-laws are here. I am going to make my 'famous' bar b q's. I guess some places it's called sloppy joes. Anyway, it is one of the best things I cook, and by far the easiest. My father-in-law loves it, and I feel bad, but I think that's the main reason I decided to make that. He likes mine better than his wife's. Don't get me wrong, if it was an incredibly difficult recipe, I wouldn't make it, even to spite her. It just works out nice this way.

I also have to get our bedroom "in-law ready", since his parents are going to be sleeping in here Friday night. JP and I will take the spare bedroom, and they will be in here. Gotta hide all the pornographic fun stuff. Personally, I don't care, I figure, if they snoop, the deserve the shock and embarrassment they get from seeing whatever we have. I do the hide routine for JP, because I don't want him to get embarrassed. I love him, and if he wants to think that his parents think we don't have sex other than for procreation purposes, then he can just live in that little world... if that is what makes him happy.

JP slept downstairs last night. It sort of bothered me, but it was the best sleep I've had since he has been home. We are both used to sleeping alone, and it will take some getting used to, I'm sure. But I still feel like we should sleep together while we can, ya know?

Well, he's here now, guess we will see how long he lasts. I guess the bright side is that he likes his new recliner enough to sleep in it all night. Yeah, that doesn't really make me feel better.

Big day tomorrow, see y'all later. I'm sure soon enough my happy-ish mood will wear thin, as in noon Friday, when the invasion begins!!
