I’m home on a beautiful Friday morning! I had to work overtime last weekend so I suggested to the boss that I take today off to offset his cost of paying me overtime. He loved the idea. Mike loved it too, because that means HE gets a day off too (meaning he can sleep in and play video games all day while I hang with my boy Luke, but I suspect he does some of that even on a “working” day)!

So Luke is taking his Morning Nap and I am here on the couch, blogging and relaxing. The kitchen is clean, the living room is clean. The TV is turned off so it’s extra peaceful around here. I don’t even have the fans on because it’s not too hot yet today.

I heard a phone ringing and it was so loud I thought it was mine. Until I heard the neighbor across the street answer it. She’s in her driveway talking on the phone and she’s one of those people who has a voice that carries, but also she’s yelling. And swearing. Trying to have a peaceful moment here, and you’re totally ruining it. Seriously.
