News on the MIL: None at this time. She’s been home from the hospital since Monday. I’ve spoken to her and she sounds good, but tired. She actually had to get off the phone one of those times because she was too tired to talk. That’s a rarity for my MIL! Unrelated, but here’s what’s…

The latest…
This past week has been exhausting. Work has been weird, and when it’s been weird, it’s been busy too. I think there are major changes coming for my employer. I don’t think it will directly affect (effect? I don’t remember) my position. I think the changes will be good overall. But, the homefront has been…
Have I told you lately
that I love my car? Obviously, since we only own one car right now, we took the Murano on our trip. The car did so well over the long drive. I drove a total of maybe 3 hours and Gene did the rest. So, I guess that’s all I have to say. I just love…
The Worst Mommy…
Gene just left to go to the airport to pick up MIL (her earlier flight was cancelled, so I think the poor thing has probably spent the day at the airport), and I celebrated by locking the dogs in their kennels so I could blog a moment. Hey, I gave them each a Pupperoni! As…
who said it got to be Wednesday today??
MIL arrives in 14 hours. The boy’s room and bathroom are not tidied. I worked until EIGHT tonight at the office because there’s a chance of inclement weather that MIGHT keep us from the office. Or at least keep ME. I just finished dinner and now I am going to go clean some more. Hooray!…
oh, crap
MIL comes for a visit Thursday, 12/15. That’s what I’m going to come home to, after a long day of cutting paychecks: My MIL. She leaves 12/21. I am so glad I just cleaned the bathrooms, but now I have to do something about the boy’s area. He’ll be here this weekend, but it’s too…
I can’t believe I didn’t mention this…
When the in-laws were in town for Thanksgiving, the tale that brought the house down was this one: MIL isn’t a fan of animals. Especially when animals get too close to the baby. SIL has a dog, Alice. Alice roams the house during the day and is pretty interested in the baby. One day, SIL…
THIS is bidding?
(Remember the old Lynn Redgrave commericals for SlimFast in the 1980s where the tag line was This is Living?) Anyway, Thursday I decided that I wanted McD’s. Funny how I just couldn’t come up with something better. I’m feeling better – I worked all day Friday so I wouldn’t waste any vacation time, but that…
Food, mediocre Food…
Gene’s out of town starting Monday, so I think Chef Lainey will probably live on Taco Bell and frozen food for awhile. (Ooh, triple coupons at the grocery through tomorrow…yippee!). But anyway: Tonight we’re eating out with our friends the Atheists. Last night was curry. It was delicious but I think the coconut milk was…
5 Hours to Go!
Yesterday was a good day: -Dogs to groomers -Gene to hair salon -Humans to big silly mall for go-carts, laser tag, sweater shopping and stroller stalking (guess which of those 4 activities *I* engaged in!) -Picked up dogs at groomers (they close at 3 and we were there at 2:50…stupid traffic) -Went to the grocery…
