The sleeping bags and pillows are packed, as are the swimming suits and towels. We're heading to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the next five days. It'll be a vacation of sorts--only we'll just be traveling across town. I do believe the Lord has blessed me with the best in-laws ever.
A month and a half ago, we discovered hardwood floors underneath the carpet in the living room (and down the hall and in the dining room). After several false alarms, the contractor who will be refinishing the floors says he will indeed start tomorrow morning. The whole family has to move out because the fumes are so noxious. My houseplants and our food have found a temporary home in the shed. We've got a refrigerator and freezer on our back porch to hold our perishables. (Yes, I've been told the fumes even penetrate into the food in your fridge and freezer.)
To complicate matters, Matt is taking a computer security training course this week. It goes from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. He gets a one hour break for lunch and several ten minute breaks throughout the day. He'll be tested on the course material a week from today. Matt thought he'd only have to be present to win, but it turns out the class is being taught by a former Green Beret and retired Brigadier General who has made it clear he takes no prisoners. Pretty intense.
Good thing Grandma and Grandpa will be available to help me on the parenting front this week. Hopefully our family won't drive them to the funny farm in the process.
