Happy Friday
1.) I'm on holiday after today for a week and a bit. Family coming from USA.
All exciting!
...
4.) Waiting on a delivery of empty swing top beer bottles so I can do some bottling. I've run out.
5.) Feeling hungry today. Fancying something really nice for lunch (already!)
Isn't that last day before a holiday the greatest? All the anticipation of free time... all the potential is still there. Enjoy your family visit!
Swing top... are those the ones with the metal latches? Very old-fashioned in appearance? If so, I approve. I assume you reuse beer bottles. How do you clean them?
Hungry days! Man... they're great if you have food in the house. They're the wirst when you realize you have a specific craving and can't satisfy it.
1. I got two calls about jobs near home that I would be great in (one more than the other). Fingers crossed that my luck is turning!!!
2. The baby DOES. NOT. SLEEP. I have no ideas anymore. My husband has been pitching in a lot at night this week and I'm still exhausted. Now we're both exhausted.
3. My husband was neutered this week so has been home from work. I've enjoyed having him home each day and he hasn't been anywhere near as whiney as I thought he would be.
4. The three year olds BFF is coming over tomorrow. While it will be VERY noisy I expect it'll be a bit of a break!
5. We booked to go to Bruges for two nights after Christmas. I'm looking forward to it!
Good luck with the jobs! I hope you're put in an awkward position of having to choose between them!
And just give up on the baby sleeping. Accept that you gave up sleep for a year. The sooner you accept that, the happier (yet more exhausted) you'll be.
Ooh! Bruges! I would go to there. Are you taking the kids, or are they staying with family?
1. My husband is home tonight! Eeeee!
2. Our desks. Still basking in the glow of having that behind us. We're celebrating this weekend. I bought more liquor. Now my bar station has Frangelico, Disaronno, Cointreau, Cuervo (gold), and Basil Hayden (a Kentucky bourbon gifted from my sister because it's her favourite and she wanted my husband to try it). Anyway, margaritas with our Mexican platter tomorrow night. Yay!
3. My husband has an interview for a job he wouldn't hate, close to home, and when you factor in the lack of commute would be a net increase in funds (technically a pay cut of about £2k, though). We are extremely anxious and hopeful.
4. The parcel is due here today! I'm stupudly excited about this. Jimbo, if you're reading this thread, thanks for starting Pass-the-Parcel! And thanks, again for timing your shipment, KF. If I'd got it any sooner, I would've felt so overwhelmed with wanting to move it along for everybody else, but needing to finish those bloody desks.
5. I had a fitful start to my sleep last night and was awoken at one point to the sound of screendoor-rattling doir pounding. It took me far too long to convince myself that the sound HAD to be just part of my dream because we don't have a screen door. I even had to check our security cameras to reassure myself that there weren't scary people outside trying to be let in. I have no idea where this dream came from, but I wish it would go back.
