Hell NO!
I woke up an hour ago and said to Gene “Hey, ready to go to (insert name of big fancy mall, home of Nordies and other chi-chi shops)?” And of course, the above was his response. Good husband. He thought I was crazy enough to venture out yesterday.
The MIL and step son should be arriving sometime this morning. Frankly, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them for that long. Usually I take some time by going to Kohl’s with Blanche, but I’m not going anywhere near any retail place besides perhaps the grocery until Monday at the earliest (and then, only during the day). This includes the outdoor mall across the street from my house. The problem is, it’s home to the movie theater closest to my house. I hoped that the local Christmas lights display started this weekend, but the website says it starts 12/1. We’ll do that next weekend instead (we get the boy again).
Oh, well. I’m going to go through the house again and make sure it’s not a total sty. My MIL is not picky, but if something is messy she’s liable to be found cleaning it and that makes me feel about a 1/2 inch tall.
