Dear Dave + April.....A Tuesday Series.

Well would I shock you if I told you that today's edition of 'Dear Dave + April' came this close....imagine fingers so close together they are almost touching, to causing a full blown fight? We have been trying so hard to stay neutral and kind to each other under extreme exhaustion. Dave's been working, for the last two weeks, and I am not exaggerating at all, from 5:30 am until 9:30 pm almost every day. Even through the weekend. When I asked him if he wrote me a letter he told me he had thought all one day about the letter he wanted to write but couldn't remember now.....so he had nothing. Then I started to stress because we wouldn't have a post and then knew immediately that THAT wasn't worth fighting about!

I will show you a little picture of what I tackled today (Monday), with the help of a friend, to try and help ease some of Dave's stress. THE GARAGE. It is his nightmare. It is my dumping place. I've always claimed that we were both equally responsible for the goods in there....but today it was proven that he was right and I'll admit that 55% of the stuff is mine. Just over half. OK.....more like 75%. Darned that Stephanie when she exclaimed....your pile is the BIGGEST.

Maybe each Tuesday I'll give you a little picture of the updates happening in the garage. Our goal....to empty everything out of the garage and only put back in what we use and need. We hope to have a teen playroom out here complete with couch, TV and all the video games. It's going to be a lot of work. I did suggest to Dave though that for the next six weeks instead of Dear Dave + April, we could do The Bachelorette commentating together. He sits with me and his comments are, for the most part, inappropriate...in a funny way. You'd probably love it.

But back to the garage. Today we emptied about half. There were four piles made. Garbage, donate, FVL and straight into POD pile that needs to go back into garage at some point. A FVL table was kept in the garage and until this little studio is completed in our backyard.....

.....will stay there. I'm thinking the POD will stay in our driveway too for another two months. The neighbors are going to LOVE us! I hope my husband will love me for all my hard work today. He did say when he came home....'Know what's sexier than a woman in heels? A hard working woman!'

Now I'm off to bed to go show that man of mine how much I appreciate how hard working of a man he is for our family. *wink wink*  Although I can hear him lightly snoring already.

And that is how we roll sometimes.

P.S. Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad. I think this is 42?! Thanks for being wonderful examples of  'happily married'! One year I forgot their anniversay....OK maybe more than one year, but one year my dad called me in Delaware and was being really wierd on the phone. He was telling me how much he loved mom and how happy he was he married her. And how some days he just needs to tell her that he loves her with flowers and dinner and a card. Then the lightbulb went off and I said...'Oh Happy Anniversary?!'
