That has to be killing the pocket book. Its strange to me though, I paid a contract for my snow plowing, last year it worked to our advantage, this year it is to theirs. But I often wondered what they did for the employees.

Yeah, you try not to disturb them to much, but they have to eat and drink, as well as take the medications!

Yeah..I don't even complain about it anymore, because I got tired of complaining about it. LOL.

And the G2G sounds fun...but it does make my situation sound pretty sad..

Animals does describe our two monsters. They've basically spent the last two days together cooped up in either the house doing chores (cleaning their rooms & homwork) or in the truck on a road trip. Yes, we're horribly mean to our kids...we make them clean their rooms and chores (vacuum, takeout the trash, pick up their toys in the living room, etc); someone should call SCAN/DHS on us....

It needs to be done, Christian now has his responsibilities, but no chores yet, we are working are way into that. Dylan.. well, a little young, but he cleans up after himself, as much as what I would expect a two year old to do.

Nice!

My wife had a baby shower yesterday, at my brother's house, put on by his wife and my sister. The "ruse" was we were going over to watch the game, but all the women from my side were there. And my brother, and sister's boyfriend. So us 3 guys are watching the game as the women are doing the shower thing.

Good game too. I was especially moved by Brees and his boy after the game.
