Good morning all.
We finally all got home and settled down at about 8:00 last night. Once we got the kids ready for bed, it was about 9:15. Mrs E put on an episode of Lost, which is the one "our" show that we watch together. The next thing I remember, she's asking "James! Are you even awake?!" Um.... no. I fell asleep on the couch. Within 15 minutes. She made me go to bed. Unfortunately, by the time I fixed my lunch and put dinner away, it was about 10:30. Still. Getting to sleep around 11:00 is a LOT better than getting in bed at 1:00am. I'm still tired, but not as bad as it was yesterday.
We have yet another tournament to get Kat to tomorrow. It's a one day, double elimination against nine other teams. That means that we're going to have to get up and out the door before 7am to have Kat on the field and warming up before 8am, game start at 9:00. The championship games are scheduled to start at 8pm, though I doubt we'll be there that long. It's going to be a LONG day. I also plan on taking the family (read WIFE!) out to dinner. It's been an extremely difficult last couple of weeks dealing with head lice, bedbugs, inept Rec ball coaches, softball practice for two kids, volleyball practices, school open houses, me working during the day while she works at night, and goodness knows what else I forgot about... Mrs E deserves a good meal that she doesnt have to cook or clean up. I may even buy her some Walmart flowers to surprise her just to show her that I do appreciate how well she deals with everything we have to go through.
As far as the bedbugs go, the guy that did our inital inspection is supposed to come back to the house some time today to bring us that mattress cover. Mrs E is also going to have him do another inspection. If he finds anything else alive, he's going to have them come back and re-spray again. The tech that did the treatment, I dont think he did a decent job. He didnt move rugs or furniture, he never dusted inside of wall outlets and switches (the reason I had to take all of those cover plates off), or in any of the dressers that we had to completely empty causing us to keep all of our clothes in massive trash bags until this whole thing is done with. So, though the nightmare is in it's final stretch, it's still far from over right now.
At least the weather is going to be awesome all weekend! Highs under 90, low humidity!
Just got done making the 5 lb of wings. I now remember why I buy them and con someone else into making them.

Soon Zzzzzz time at the shack.
How did you end up preparing them? Did they turn out ok?
Yup. It is Friday, isn't it??

One of these days I'm going to screw up and forget what day of the week it is!
I do that on a regular basis... I like to keep me on my toes.
