Greg Michaels: Last Weekend of April With Yard Work, Grill + More

Greg Michaels — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 23:00:13 +0000

Wow, what a weekend so far and it's not over yet. I went out Saturday morning to rake for an hour, then all of us got together to do yard work for the rest of the morning. We took a break for lunch at about 11 am then put Vikki down for a nap. Dylan our 13 year old watched her while we took off to drop Justin off at a birthday party and run a few errands.

Earlier this week we bought the paint to brighten up the kids' rooms. One room, Vikki's is now complete and in a little bit we're attacking room number two, Dylan's room. Vikki's room was a sage green. It was okay. However, it was a flat paint and wasn't very designed for our daughter.

With the weather in our travels we got the bug to look at possible spring and summer home upgrade projects. Lynn wants to redo Vikki’s bedroom and make [...]

It dawned on me during my drive home from work that we have been living in our new house now for six months today. We closed on June 29, 2012. There are only 54 low monthly payments left and the house will be mine in 2042. Have we settled in? For the exception of a few boxes of odds and ends we're moved in.

Do You Have Roles In Your House?

Question for married people or couples who live together. Who does what? Are there chore roles? We’ve been married for over 12 years and together for 14. I have never been good at fixing stuff. Lynn is amazing that way. It’s almost like role reversal. Don’t get me wrong, I clean, do the laundry, the dishes, pick up and watch the kids while Lynn’s on a project.
