My kids are currently on Spring Break, and Dianne took them to Kansas City to visit her family for the first part of the week. While they are gone, I have a lot more "free" time, right? Well, you know, there is still work and all the other "normal" activities, but still....
In no particular order, here are the Top Ten Ways I'm spending all of that "free" time.
- Ran a fever! Yes, isn't that special? Normally, I wouldn't have had the time.
- Steam cleaned all the basement rooms. Rented a "Rug Doctor" for this task, which is nice, but you fill out just as much paperwork as if you were renting a car. I didn't have to show proof of insurance, though.
- Whittled away at some of the financial record keeping stuff. Technically, I had "time" to do this because of #1. Got to get ready for them taxes!
- Signed an executive order and enacted a house-wide ban on the show "Ghosthunters"...until Dianne returns. (Ha! Take that, Dianne!)
- Worked on eating my way through the food left in the fridge and pantry.
- Dog wrestling.
- Alphabetized my shoes. I have two pair - "casual" shoes for work, and tennis shoes. Oh, and my moccasin slippers. Three pairs.
- Found the tape measure! In case you are wondering, it was lost. I found it on the window sill in my daughters' room.
- Mario Kart Wii!!! Did you know it's possible to get stuck IN A TREE on "The Maple Treeway" course? Well, I didn't...until I executed the worlds greatest jump and LANDED ON A BRANCH and couldn't get out! Naturally, I was playing online against my friend Tim, and it caused me to seriously lose that race.
- Missing my wife and kids.
It doesn't seem *fair* that you have to get sick on your bonus time...no one around to complain to!

I am all in favor of a Ghosthunters ban. My mom loves that show, and it is so fake. Fake Fake Fake!
