New kitchen table and chairs arrived

Posted by Scott at 04:16 PM

Wow! We ordered this table over a month ago. Michelle just called to let me know that it finally arrived and it looks nice. She likes the fact that the chairs don't creek and that when someone leans on the end of the table, it does not start separating at the middle leafs.

Michelle was joking to me that one of the YMCA front desk clerks had only now just noticed that she was walking in with five children. The clerk asked the typical "Are these all yours?". The clerk then followed on to say that Michelle had better get a diamond or emerald for Mother's Day. Michelle reviewed some of the things she has gotten over the past couple of years and said she preferred them over jewelry:

  • a larger house on 2 1/2 acres
  • a house cleaning service
  • a wood playground for the kids
  • a van to cart them around in
  • a sprinkler system to take care of watering the lawn
  • a landscaper to take care of fertilizer
  • TiVo - so that shows are readily available when the kids need to unwind a bit

In addition she's happy that Claire's school is nearby, that I have a job where I'm home every night, that Milford has a nice park and community pool nearby, and that family comes by often to visit. I'll admit things could be better if I was more consistent at waking up before her but I'm working on it...
