The McMillins

As much as Gretchen planned on going to the gym, she didn't. Corey was able to easily convince her to take this week without Zach and sleep in. He convinced her to eat whatever she wanted and to just enjoy her freedom. Of course Gretchen thought it was a good idea as well. She hasn't done much this week except sleep in and watch a lot of movies/ tv shows. This wasn't exactly what she planned in her mind. She planned on really cleaning the house and getting some reading done. Oh well.... there went that plan. lol

So, today she is cleaning some. She did get Zach's room clean. Now she's working on our room.

We went shopping the other night for some furniture for the living room and bought some. This wasn't planned but it was a nice time to go to a furniture store WITHOUT a 3 year old climbing over everything. (We're sure most of you parents know what we're talking about) We're both very picky about what kind of furniture that we like. We finally found a set that we liked and they had a "sale" too. So, we were sold. We should be able to pick some of it up this weekend before we get Zach back. It would be really nice if we could get the painting done before we get Zach but we're not sure if that is going to be possible.

This is Corey's first week with his "regular" schedule. Yesterday he had to work a 13 hour day. That's the downfall of working days, Mon-Fri. If a project isn't done, Corey HAS to stay until it's done. It's been different. So far, Gretchen likes the shift work better. He's not tired on the days that he's off during shift work. Now he comes home from work and is tired everyday. The nice thing about this is that if he doesn't like "days", he can go back to "shift work" in 6 months.
