Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


A Rough Week, a Craft Room and 48 Hours With the Boys

It has been a rough week with the third anniversary of my mom.

So I ate too much and did whatever I could to keep busy, busy, busy — anything not to think about it. I have not been completely successful, but I am getting a lot of stuff into the charity pile.

Why am I sorting so much stuff? Because it has been suggested that my current craft room would be better used as a guest room. Which is true. Matt’s parents spend the night at least once a month on our couches.

But that means I am going to the basement.

It will be fine. I just do not want to do the work.

And on top of it, every time I put Matt’s stuff over in his workshop — which takes up half the square footage of the basement — he tells me he does not have room. My side is apparently still “storage.” He is just not seeing why I am grumpy about it.

I am just grumpy about everything these days.

Anyway, only a few more hours of work to go and then a full 48 hours with the boys. Not that I do not love spending time with them. I just hate serving as group activities leader, chef and mediator for extended lengths of time.

I surrender to you stay-at-home moms. I know I cannot do it.

In the meantime I am looking forward to the SPQ trip and trying to see if we can squeeze in another trip next month.

OK. I am better now that I got all that out.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
