And you thought finding five bucks in your pocket was exciting

So the other day I went to get gas; our ATM card was declined, which shouldn't have happened. So I called Kelly, our house CFO, and she started looking into it. Turns out that when she's been depositing her bartending earnings at a particular branch they've been putting it into a savings account that she forgot she'd opened. And since it's a savings account they only send out quarterly statements. Anyhow, turns out there was a little over a grand in there. Now *that* was an exciting find!!!

In other news, after looking at clean vacuum cleaner bags, Raelin declared that putting a new bag in the vacuum is like changing its diaper. Gave us pause though guess it makes sense ;)

In yet other news, Liam continues to sleep like shit. Usually pretty well while Kelly and I are up, though the intervals between waking up decrease rapidly around 11:00 or so until, well, about dawn. Through that time he "sleeps" for maybe 30 - 45 minutes at a time, and really only while in direct physical contact with one of us. We're trying a different homeopathic remedy now. Thought it might be early second year molars coming in though a hefty dose of kiddie Motrin didn't change a thing. So onward onward.

I'm sipping on a gin and tonic. I thought that the mix was off cuz I put too much tonic in so I just added a little more gin. Nope. Too much gin, so I guess I'll put a little more tonic in.

Been a busy week "off." Sure I didn't check work email at all, though been a busy bee on the shed conversion. Also gave Kelly a bunch of time, which was needed and deserved. Shed's foundation finally got done with the arrival of a cement truck on Thursday morning. Actually turned out pretty darn good, though the final test will come when the weather gets cold and I fire up the radiant floor heating for the first time.

Anyhow, wrap this one up here...Kelly and I have a new blog over at http://homeontheridge.blogspot.com
