After a while, nothing continued to happen.
Hope y’all are well. We are doing Home Stuff, which means Get Organized or Die Trying Week. For inspiration we are watching the HGTV shows where the designer goes to the persons house and makes them throw away their crap, amidst tears and gnashing of teeth.
The kids haven’t drawn (much) blood yet, the dogs only ran away three times yesterday, and there’s only an 80% chance of thunderstorms (some possibly severe) today, so of course they’ll wanna ride bikes all day.

I’m just curious, how many of y’all stay home for Christmas, and how many travel (to see family or just travel)?
Okay, I’ll go first: We go to stay with family, and have done so for years, since well BK (before kids). About the only thing that would keep us home is a snowstorm, and I think I’ve explained before that that just ain’t gonna happen.
