Is everyone off doing fun stuff? How was the weekend? DH ended up having to work today so it's my normal Monday. Except the washing machine won't drain and I can't fix it myself.
We had a decent weekend. Saturday was a farmer's market and granite store. Sunday the ILs took the older kids to a movie so we went back to the granite store and Menard's. We have a million decisions to make, but need the countertop before we proceed much further.
This is the ultimate FWP: Only one stupid granite store is open on Sundays. I was going to go to one today, but it's closed today too. General operating hours for almost all are 10-4:30 during the week so DH can't go after work and he doesn't generally have a long enough lunch hour. Kids aren't allowed in the granite yards so unless I get a sitter I can't slip over during the day. I hate to get a sitter just to see if it's worth getting a sitter to go back.
Actually, the ultimate FWP: FIL is paying for the remodel. He gets discounts and negotiates all sorts of stuff. He won't tell us what we've spent. We are trying very hard to be reasonable, but he just says "you only do this once and it's my checkbook." We just don't want to take advantage of his generosity!
