...sorry I'm late. We've had a steady downpour here since about 8:00 p.m. last night. I'm getting our house reappraised since we now have riverfront property. Radio disk-jockette said "50% chance of showers today." LOOK OUT YER WINDOW DARLIN'!
Had do to some checkbook gymnastics this morning. Always fun when a hefty check you wrote 6 weeks ago (and thought had cleared) decides to clear right before vacation. As it was tho, it was mostly an inconvenience. Had it hit next week whilst we were gone, it could've been a real problem.
Some potentially good news in the extended Stormhands family. An answer to prayer. Wife's sister is expecting their third child (that's not the answer to prayer, that's the answer to miscounting during the time of my f-i-l's illness and funeral...but I digress). My brother-in-law is what I describe as an inbred University of Richmond West End type. Meaning everything is UR, MUST live in Richmond's "fashionable" West End, etc. (i.e. "retentive") Everything is status symbol for him. So, even tho this is their third kid he has continued to insist that my s-i-l work. Their two oldest boys are in "the" school (daycare) to be in, etc.
But, the school has raised their rates drastically, so now, if she continues to work, she loses money (her salary wouldn't cover three kids in this school). The answer to prayer is that b-i-l appears to be okay with her staying home.
So, we're pretty pleased with that.
In other news, we've cut their lead to about 1650 posts...(if'n I'm doing my math right...)
I think this is WONDERFUL news. And I am happy for your s-i-l!
So the older kids will be able to stay home with their Mama and the new sibling? Outstanding!
