I'm still here

You probably thought I got lost or something, didn't you? Nope. I am still around. Trapped in my vacation.

We spent Christmas eve night and Christmas day at my parents house with our family, my parents, and my sisters family. Ten of us with a bathroom and 3 bedrooms. For the most part a good time was had by all. No one was killed and no toys were broken.

Our kids have left, as well as my sisters family, so Jane and I have been trying to go through her moms stuff. That has been a little slow going. After she died they basically just shut the door and no one has done anything. We haven't made too much progress yet, but... again... there has been no bloodshed, so that is good. There seems to be a little tension in the air among some family members - especially one brother in particular - and I'm not exactly sure why. I feel really uncomfortable, and it's not my place to say anything, so... I'm kinda just trying to keep my mouth shut.

I didn't really plan to not blog this week. Honestly, I just haven't really felt like it. I don't feel like it now, but thought I needed to write something, just so you all wouldn't worry your pretty little heads about me. Yep, I'm still here. Having about as much fun as you can have staying with your parents in Buda, IL (estimated population: 400).

We did get a new car. My parents bought a 2007 Impala (very nice), and we bought their trade-in - a 2002 Buick Century. It's got 94,000 miles on it, but they bought it new, and it still looks and runs nice. So... there ya go... a new bed and a new car for Christmas. Not bad. Oh and Jane got us tickets to see the Bradley Braves in Peoria on Saturday night. Just like old times.

That's about it. Gotta take a shower before my mom or dad think of something else they NEED me to do. :(
