Standing Alone In a Barn… Wifeless

I promise I’m not actually wifeless, just a quote that came to mind while I was trying to think of a title.

Quick, quick, name that movie!!

Also, today was day two of Hailey being away for the weekend and for the first time ever as a guest blogger, I don’t have a specific topic to write about today.

I was hoping to be able to write about how we got a miraculous call from our body shop saying the bus was ready to be picked up but, unfortunately, we did not. Apparently there was over 600 dents in the roof of our van! It was only outside for ninety seconds! At $10 per dent, our insurance company is footing a hefty bill. 😳 Luckily, we only have to pay a small deductible. I guess we’ll deal with that on Monday morning.

Also, today was not the smoothest day with the kids so I’m not gonna write about that either. I tried to make a special breakfast for them but they fought each other through its entirety. We tried to have a low key ‘It’s freezing outside!’ kind of morning but they fought each other through that as well. Similar results through lunch and nap time. Praise the Lord we had made plans to visit Hailey’s Mom for the late afternoon and dinner. They got some quality Grandma time, a delicious chicken strips and smile fries supper, and most importantly, they don’t fight half as much at Grandma’s. 🤗

Now they’re all five in bed and I’m planning to go downstairs and finish my weekend project which is insulating the basement walls. Don’t get me wrong, our house is properly insulated, but the lower half of our basement walls were still bare concrete and rather than building a half height wall and ending up with an awkward, dust covered ledge for our kids to jump off of, we built the wall to the ceiling. This gives us the opportunity to double insulate and have a very warm cosy basement.
