Christmas lights!

This morning I was so happy because finally our garage door is fixed. We were able to have somebody come over to install a new garage opener for us.Happy mommy. After finishing folding clothes and putting them away, I made lunch for my kids and ate Beef Ramen with eggs with them plus chicken nuggets. I thought, "well, I have nothing to do now, so I can actually just relax or maybe read." Then my mother-in-law, who is staying with us for Thanksgiving decided she wanted to help me put the Christmas lights outside. I kept giving her the hint that her son is supposed to put them but hey, she wants me to put them ...I guess. So I said yes. So instead of laying down and reading a good book, I spent this afternoon putting the Christmas lights. I really didn't want to do them but hey, I am not about to say no to her. The Christmas lights turn out pretty. I guess I should be thankful. At least that chore is done. Happy mommy again!
