Because my husband was unable to take his two full weeks of vacation this summer he has decided to take a few days off here and there to make up the time. This past weekend he was off work so he took Monday and Tuesday off as well. Although this wasn’t a huge break it was a nice little break for him and it got him away from his job for awhile. He went back to work this morning and I’m not really sure when he’ll take more time off. But at least he was FINALLY able to get a little time off.
Today is my husband and I’s 9th wedding anniversary. He is working today but I took the night off from my job so that we can have a nice little celebration. I sent out a few invitations to friends and family to join us for supper. While I was searching for these anniversary invitations online I discovered that you can get Halloween invitations as well. What a neat idea.
Hopefully the friends and family that we invited will be able to attend our little anniversary celebration. But if not, that’s okay too. As long as my husband, the kids and I are there, it will be a great night!
Last night my husband asked me to trim his hair. And when I say trim, what I really mean to say is scalp. He has been going bald for a few years now, (no, he hasn’t tried any treatments for hair loss for men) so now he decided he just wants to have it all gone. I’ve tried to tell him that he looks better with just a little bit of hair but…. he’s stubborn. Oh well, he’s almost bald for now, but I’m sure it will grow back.
For the second time in six months my husband has to get used to a new manager. Late last week his company let go his manager. Apparently he was caught on the security cameras doing a few things that he wasn’t supposed to be doing. So now my husband has to get used to someone new. And for a person who absolutely detests change, this will come as a challenge. For his sake I hope this transition goes smoothly. Otherwise, it’s going to be a pretty rough time at my house for a little while as I’ll get to listen to all his ranting and raving once again.
For the past couple of days it has been raining here non stop. Okay, I think we have enough! I’m really hoping this weekend that we don’t have any rain as my husband and I plan on taking the kids camping. And if it’s raining we won’t be going. This will be our first trip out this season so that’s why we’re all a little anxious to get going. So if you could all do me a favor and wish away my rain, I’d be ever so grateful. And of course, I’d pop in later to let you all know if your wishes came true.
Like most families, our family has some family traditions. One of our traditions is that my son and my husband sit down every Sunday and watch the Nascar races. While their watching the race, their eating chicken wings and drinking pop and beer. My son is also sitting their watching the race in his Jimmie Johnson hat. He can’t watch a race without it. For his birthday I have been looking at some Nascar jackets. I think it would look so cute watching him watch the race in his hat and his jacket. Maybe I’ll purchase my husband one as well, and they can both sit there in their Nascar gear and watch the race together.
Every year my husband gets four weeks of vacation. But… one of those weeks, he has to take between January and March. So yeah, not much of a vacation. He has chosen to take next week off. So next week I will have my biggest child home for the week. Since we can’t do anything or go anywhere (the kids are still in school) I have some plans for him to get some work done around the house. I’m going to get him to finally put up the wood blinds that we purchased before Christmas and I’m also going to get him to help me move back into my home office. Oh don’t worry, I’ll let him have some time to himself. After all, it is his vacation time. lol
Friday night my husband and I went out on a date night. We first went to dinner where I seriously pigged out. At one point I thought I might have to take a fat burner because I ate so much. Then we went out to a club, had a couple of drinks and came home. Although it was not a expensive or even a late evening, just getting out and away together was enough. We don’t do this nearly enough, but I plan on changing that. I plan on going out like this at least once a month. After all, we all need a little alone time with our husband’s now don’t we??
My husband is so funny sometimes (but don’t tell him I said that). Over the years his hair has been thinning quite a bit, and he now almost bald on top. So last night he came home with some hair growth shampoo to see if he couldn’t turn back the hands of time. He is still a nice looking man and him losing his hair doesn’t bother me, but it certainly bothers him. I hope for his sake this shampoo works. But even if it doesn’t he will still be aces in my book. I just wish he would see it that way as well.
