well... we FINALLY got rid of my father-in-law for the summer. thank christ he doesn't stay here year round because he was starting to drive me batshit. plus, his presence puts a damper on some of my favorite activities - this site, loud/rough sex, etc - that I only really get to "let loose" with in the summer months. it's a catch-22 though because if he wasn't here in the winter, we'd be absolutely on our own with the kids all year, zero help - we have no relatives in the area and most of our friends are a few years younger and still childless, leaving us the odd ones out in a lot of potential social situations. so at least when he's here, we're a bit more free to go out and whatnot. seriously considering getting a laptop for our bedroom to alleviate some of those concerns. and uh... well, the rest of that statement would be "friends only" material

oh well, he's gone for now and, for better or worse, I'm back to 12 hour days of babysitting but also actually being able to spend some time on SG for a change, among other things. always a trade-off, I guess...
